On November 23, 2022, a startling report emerged concerning a significant spike in substance abuse cases nationwide, attributed to various socioeconomic stresses. For *Lena*, a resident of Bevansville, Maryland, this news hit close to home.

Lena had been trying to maintain a stable life, but the news stirred deeply buried memories of her late father’s struggle with alcoholism. This unexpected reminder took its toll on her emotional wellbeing.

Feeling overwhelmed, Lena decided to seek help by following the materials from the Stepping Into Action program she found online at Hofman Hollis. She engaged with their resources step-by-step, hoping to reclaim her peace of mind.

As Lena worked through the program, she often found herself inspired by one of the program’s mentors, who said, 'Sometimes the biggest step you take is asking for help'. Her dedication to the program began slowly lifting the heavy burden off her shoulders.

Experts hold varied opinions on such programs. Dr. *Evan Sharpe* insists that structured, online resources play a critical role in modern recovery. Contrarily, Dr. *Mia Kendall* believes face-to-face interventions cannot be entirely replaced by virtual alternatives.

Nevertheless, Lena found tremendous solace in her decision to seek online support, as the local options were limited. Her journey highlighted that sometimes, help can come from the most unexpected places on the web.
