Making a difference, one recovery journey at a time.
Each person’s recovery looks different. At WVSL Solutions our participants start a lifestyle of recovery and develop healthy relationships in the active recovery communities, promoting connectedness and communal responsibility.
“During my time in recovery, I have changed so much and accomplished many things. I am a good mother and partner. I am an active participant in my family. I am a caring friend. I am a reliable employee. I am a successful student, now nearing the completion of my bachelor’s degree and having been accepted to the Master of Social Work program at WVU. But most importantly, I can love myself and can use that love to help others find their own path to recovery. I definitely had to put in the work to get where I am, but WVSL showed me the way.
I am eternally grateful for the care, guidance, and support that WVSL has given to me. I would not be where I am at today without it. “
“During my stay at WVSL, I was offered many tools and the accountability to help me learn to take care of myself and live life substance-free. I was also given the opportunity to be myself and not what I thought others wanted me to be, which was life-changing for me.” Krista shares that she felt supported and guided by staff from day one of walking into WVSL.
“I was given the opportunity to learn how to build relationships within the home and in the recovery community, and today, I still have those relationships in both areas of my life. I was held accountable for my actions and behaviors that were not conducive to my recovery to be given the opportunity to change those and learn from them and grow into the person I was always meant to be.”
Krista has since been able to rebuild the relationships in my life that she felt she had destroyed. “I learned how to be a mother, daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, grandmother, and friend. I learned how to maintain these relationships as well. I learned how to lean on my support system in times of need and how to be a productive member of the society I was living in.”
“When I came to WVSL, I was broken and hopeless. All I knew is I needed to do something different cause what I was doing wasn’t working. I had lost everything from relationships with my family to the state stepping in and taking my kids. I didn’t know how to live without using.”
Tory shares that the day she walked in WVSL, she was met with open arms. At WVSL, she always had someone there to help her and answer any questions she had without judgement.
“They taught me how to do simple things that I didn’t know how to do without getting high. I had accountability for my actions. Even though there were good days, there were also bad days. On the bad days, there was always someone sitting with me, so I wasn’t alone. Holding me up when I couldn’t hold myself up. They helped me open up and showed me it was okay to be me. I’ve rebuilt those broken relationships, I got hope back, I got full custody of my children back. They showed me what it was like to have meaningful relationships, how to make those meaningful relationships and connections. They showed me how to live a life of recovery.”
