"Addiction is a disease, not a choice." ~ A quote from a client who graduated from our program in 2025. Her testimony about addiction, relapsing, and real recovery is an inspiration to us all.
~
"Addiction is a disease, not a choice. Most people, including some who suffer from addiction, do not understand this concept. I've suffered from addiction for many years and I have been successful in sobriety for many years as well. Most recently, I had been living in sobriety for 15 years but then, unfortunately experienced a relapse. My search for help led me to The Gilead House, where this journey of sobriety has been different than any other time in the past. The Gilead House has offered me a safe, loving and supportive environment to not only learn about but also treat the underlying cause of relapse, which is the disease of addiction. "
