Blog: Self-Harm

I would recommend to any parent – if you’re seeing serious signs of isolation and depression or if your son went through a traumatic event, you need to contact Stonewater. We as parents wish we would’ve done something sooner.

Stonewater gave me coping skills to deal with my depression, because I can’t fix the depression, I can just fix how I deal with it. Before, drugs were my only coping method…I never thought I would be able to be where I am at right now. I have a ways to go, but Stonewater definitely put me on the right path.

The Fikes family have their own story and I think that that helps tremendously, because they know what it’s been like to go through it. They can’t just sympathize, but also empathize with families. My advice to other parents is to make the decision, it doesn’t matter what time of year it is, make the decision. It’s the right thing to do for your kid and your family.

“A family-based recovery center. We are almost at a year of having my wonderful grandson back to being the man he should be. I thank the Lord every day for Stonewater and all the wonderful people there.”

Stonewater saved my son’s soul…

I cannot not begin to describe how amazing this program is! I am forever grateful for them giving me my son back and leading him to the road to recovery. Stonewater’s staff is some of the best I’ve seen, I’ve myself have been in the industry for 10 years and they are some of the most compassionate, patient, caring people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Words are not enough to express the thanks I owe to Stonewater Recovery and their staff. My teenage son had been struggling for quite awhile. Personality change, not going to school, going from A’s to F’s, no desire to take care of himself and no excitement to live life sober and many other behavioral changes. I searched high and low for the appropriate place to send my son. I found it in Stonewater and more. Right from the very beginning, the very first phone call until the day before I picked him up(today), I have been overjoyed with the progress my son has made. I have been so pleased with the professionalism, love, care, kindness and concern for me son. If you are remotely looking for a recovery place, where they treat the kids as family and let them know they are listened to and understood for who they are and best of all, I have my son back again. Take a chance, take that leap of faith and reach out and make that first phone call and let the professionals take over from there. You will NOT be disappointed. Eternally Indebted to Stonewater for having my son back again. Thank you!
