April, Former Embrave Client

“I found my way to Embrave by committing a money crime. We opened accounts and ran up about a half a million dollars in fraudulent charges. I thought I had the life. Looking back, I realize I was lost and depressed and on a lot of pills and drugs to keep up with the lifestyle. I had fears that I wouldn’t make it and I was scared. I ended up being arrested 46 times for this case. I had never been in jail before or experienced it, I came from a good family. I was at Embrave for 6 months and now am getting ready to leave and go on parole. I have a good job now, a new house lined up, and a positive outlook. I feel confident and successful, and I am a better person. The staff has been wonderful, they don’t look down at you like an inmate; they treat you like a client. My case manager is wonderful, I confide in her and everything. It has been a wonderful experience. Embrave gave me the tools and community resources to go out in the world and face my problems without drugs or alcohol. I am hopeful about my future.”

Bruce’s Story

” I hit rock bottom when I lost my wife five years ago to a drug overdose. Before that I had everything in line- a job, a house and cars, and my kids had everything they needed. We were a happy family. When my wife passed away, I didn’t know how to cope which is when I turned to drugs to help me mask my emotions. I made some bad decisions with drugs and street life which is how I ended up at Embrave. At my worst, I was afraid of running out of money, not having a place to sleep at night, or not having food to eat. I was afraid I would die of a drug overdose. Since I’ve been at Embrave, I’ve learned tools and coping skills for the next time I think about using. The amazing staff gave me a lot of support and community resources and it’s evident that they care about clients. Now I feel alive again, like a whole new person. I’ve been a mentor at Embrave and I am excited to get into peer coaching and get my kids back in my life. It is very important for me to stay sober so I can be the dad I know I need to be for my kids. I know it’s going to get hard, but I know not to give up. The future looks bright for me.”

Brian, Former Embrave Client

“I was addicted to drugs and selling them for 15 years. I was in and out of prison and, after serving time, was moved to Embrave to finish my sentence. At Embrave, I learned about myself, my impulsivity, and how to cope with my emotions. My therapists and case manager helped me with resources and learning new skills and coping mechanisms so that I don’t go back to drugs once I’m released. I’ve made the most of my time at Embrave- I’m a group leader and peer mentor, and I’m working on becoming a peer coach and eventually would like to become a psychologist. I have completed the Intensive Rehabilitation Training (IRT) program and facilitated classes. I want to start an app-based sobriety program to help others. The staff at Embrave genuinely cares about their clients and want to see us succeed. I now describe myself as a principle-centered goal-oriented person who can do anything I want in life. I’ve learned to see myself as a sober, loving father, and I can’t wait to be an active part of my kids’ lives again.”
