Testimonials

My name is Stephanie Rae Dietz and I am a case manager (CPSS) at 7th Street Treatment Center. It wasn’t an easy road to get here. I originally came to 7th Street as a client who was struggling with alcoholism. I came into the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous in July of 2017 and was unable to stay sober. I would manage to get some sober time and then relapse. My last relapse was in August of 2020 and lasted about a month to the best of my memory. I have a beautiful friend who reached out to me and held an intervention with my family. My two children went to live with my family and I went into treatment on September 8th 2020, where I resided for close to 60 days. Following the completion of time at 7th Street Treatment Center, I lived with a fellow AA member on her floor for five months and stayed sober. I attended AA meetings regularly, worked the twelve steps again and stayed close to the fellowship. I then moved into the home of my best friend, where I had my own bedroom for nine months.

During that time, I continued AA, worked a program and had a good job as a quality auditor at a medical device company. On April 17th 2021, I was in a horrible automobile accident that was the other drivers fault. It totaled my 2018 Camry and put me in the hospital. I ended up breaking my wrist and developed a back condition in which a cyst grew in my spinal cord, due to trauma. I lost my job and struggled to find a new one with my condition. Guess what? I stayed sober. I am still dealing with the repercussions of my car accident, (even a year later), but I am closer to being done now, then I ever was before. Again, I continued to work on my recovery, got to meetings and look for jobs. It was a beautiful opportunity, given to me by 7th Street, to hire me on as the Admissions Assistant/Medication coordinator.

I started working at 7th Street in October of 2021. During the time that I have been here, I obtained my Certification for my Peer Support Specialist in April of 2022. I am now a Residential Case Manager and making a difference daily. The clients do more for me than I could ever do for them. I am so grateful for this career path. It certainly is God doing for me what I could not do for myself. With more opportunities to grow, I can proudly say that I have found my home here at 7th Street. I am also grateful to say, I am still sober! By the grace of God.

I am writing this letter in regards to how 7th Street has impacted my life. First off, I do not believe I would be alive, if it were not for 7th Street. I was a lost man on a very destructive path. I was trying to kill myself daily by using drugs and alcohol. I was broken and believed I didn’t deserve to live. Mike, Alicia and Kegan have shown me a new way of life and have taught me how to love myself again, to love myself again.

During my stay at 7th Street, I have learned how to be accountable for myself and my actions and my peers accountable for their actions. I have struggled with self-sabotage my whole life. I know I wouldn’t the man I am today without 7th Street. 7th Street is more than just a rehab; it is my second home. I have learned why I would get high and have worked through some of my core issues. Almost every day, I learn something new about my disease of addiction.

I can’t say enough about 7th Street, like I said it literally saved my life and showed me a new way to live. Without the staff and this program, I wouldn’t be alive today.

I am writing this letter in regards to how 7th Street Treatment Center has impacted my life. First off, without them I doubt I would be alive today.

They have helped me in more ways than one. The staff here is amazing, each of them seriously cares about every single client. I have never felt more welcomed anywhere in my life. They welcomed me with open arms and open hearts. They have loved me until I learned how to love myself. 7th Street taught me how to have healthy relationships with strong boundaries. They have helped me get to my core issues and work through them in a way I never thought was possible.

The therapist Alicia, personally helped me mend the relationship with my family when I thought it never could be fixed. I am so grateful to Mike Ray and his staff for really showing up for us in a way that can never be explained on paper. 7th Street is my home now and always will be.

I’ve been to 21 inpatient treatment programs before coming to 7th street. I was completely broken and felt like I was wasting my time that nothing would change. But nothing could have been further from the truth.

The truth!! There’s something very special about that place! I’m not the girl that easily opens up about some of the traumatic things that have happened in my life and I found myself for the first time doing with my case manager Christan I had told her things and cried she listened and cried with me. and then moving forward into I.O.P. with my therapist Alicia Fisher who has helped me grow the most over the last few months when I’ve struggled the most at times. She has helped me recognize and feel emotions and process them in a healthy way I never thought was possible.

Most importantly I feel important and like I matter and I am being heard for the very first time in my entire life which means the world to me! I can tell her anything and never feel judged. I’ve had too many therapists throughout my life to count and by far Alicia is the best therapist I’ve had. She is compassionate, understanding and she honestly cares! If I could recommend any facility for a family member or an addict suffering with addiction this is the place where the healing begins.💙”

7th Street has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. I came here scared, beaten down and hopeless. I felt broken. Through our processing group and our amazing therapist Alicia, I have been able to heal traumas and deep rooted beliefs about myself. Without that healing, I know my sobriety wouldn’t have lasted long outside of the walls of 7th Street. Because of Alicia and the love and support she has given me, I now have the confidence and tools I need to build a health and sober life.

7Th Street has truly been a place of deep healing for me, mentally, emotionally and even physically. I have learned more about myself in the last 90 days than I have in the last 20 years of my life. My relationships with my family have gotten stronger, I am learning to trust myself and trust my ability to make positive decisions for my life. The shame I have carried with my throughout my life has started to fade. I finally have the courage and strength to stay sober.

Mike truly cares about every single person who walks through his doors. If you show up willing, he is willing to show up for you. Kegan will push you and ignite real growth in your ability to communicate in a way that is honest and healthy. He has taught me to trust the process. There is no other group of people I would want on my team. This place changes lives.

“I may have never been a client here but one thing I can say is that I’ve been a part of this place since it first opened. Right when I walk through those doors for the first time I knew I instantly felt like I was home. From that day on this place has been my safe haven! It’s been a place of comfort security and love. 7th street has helped me in ways I couldn’t even begin to say.

The staff alone I consider to be more of a family to me then anything. They not only opened their arms to me but to my daughter. She has grown up around this home, she’s now 10 when we started showing up here she was 6 I believe. It’s been the biggest security blanket to her as well. This place is amazing, this place is home, this place is what continues to save me. There’s magic inside of the walls. Thank you 7th street for everything you’ve giving me and continue to give me. I’m forever grateful.

Mike- thank you for caring about me when I didn’t know how to care for myself. You truly are a God send!”

“I am eternally grateful to 7th street, as well as the staff that work there. I had nowhere to go upon release from jail, and asked the Drug Court to put me into a rehab program, which turned out to be one of the best decisions that I have ever made. The staff are courteous and genuinely care about the residents. They’ve done everything to assist me in meeting Drug Court’s expectations, and even helped me get into Sober Living upon graduation from the program. I might not even be alive today if not for the 7th Street clinic.”
