Help is Here for Jennie

Jennie first came to ACT 1 when she was picked up by the police who brought her there to spend the night to detox. With a history of alcohol and drugs, Jennie admits that without their help, she might be in jail or living on the streets. Instead, she is living in her own apartment and has been substance-free for nearly one year.

“I’ve lost everything, but thanks to ACT 1, I’ve gained it all back.”
Jennie, ACT 1 client
