I am very grateful for McShin. When I first arrived, I was pregnant and had nowhere else to go. I was able to get some recovery through my pregnancy. Pregnancy was very difficult for me, but recovery and McShin made it easier. If it wasn't for the community and support I found at McShin, I probably would have returned to a life of active addiction. I am grateful for McShin and recovery every day!

Katherine G.

The staff of McShin showed me how to live a life of recovery. Today, I have two beautiful children, a loving girlfriend, a job, money in the bank, and a purpose in my life. Without McShin and the people I met there, I don't know where I would be today.

My life used to be utterly dismal and depressing. I thought I could not live without my substances. I thought I could never be happy. I was very wrong. My life is full now - full of beautiful people that I have amazing relationships with that make my life worth living.
