Troy struggled with substance use disorder for over a decade. He made multiple attempts to get clean and sober, utilizing several different avenues and even moving from his home in Michigan for a change in environment. Troy had no family, no support system, and was sick and tired of being sick and tired when he decided to give Gateway a try.
After completing Detox and Residential treatment at Gateway, Troy was accepted into our long-term Room and Board Services (RBS) program. With the help of Gateway, he found employment at a local auto shop and continued his treatment on an outpatient basis.
“Gateway became my family, support system, and everything I needed to continue on my recovery journey,” Troy says. Today, he has been clean and sober for over 18 months, received a promotion at work, and continues to set new goals for his life – goals that could only be accomplished clean and sober. He frequently attends 12-step meetings and carries the message to others in treatment – letting them know that recovery is possible for anyone willing to do the work.
