*Franklin* Moore awoke to an ordinary day in Blevins Acre, Georgia. Perusing the news of July 25, 2023, he stumbled upon an article about the unforeseen closure of a prominent local rehab center due to financial mismanagement. For Franklin, this news was more than just news; it struck a chord deep within him.

Years ago, Franklin had struggled with alcohol addiction, a secret held tight within his close-knit community. The now-closed rehab center was where he once sought help, albeit unsuccessfully. The failure of the center left lingering resentment and unhealed scars.

The closure brought back memories of his own unsuccessful battles. It was a reminder that his struggles were still far from over. 'I need to do something about this,' he resolved, realizing that his life was in a downward spiral.

That night, Franklin found himself browsing the web for solutions and happened upon the Stepping Into Action program on hofmanhollis.com. He decided to give it a try, desperate to turn his life around. The program, with its structured approach and relatable content, resonated with him.

'The first module talked about recognizing triggers,' Franklin said, 'and it hit home. I've been running from my problems for too long.'

Experts from the field of addiction treatment had varied opinions about such online programs. Dr. Emily Hancock believed they offer accessible and flexible options for those struggling with substance abuse. Conversely, Dr. Richard Yates argued that nothing could replace in-patient treatment and face-to-face counseling.

Despite the conflicting opinions, for Franklin, the online program proved to be a lifeline. With no viable in-person options nearby, he was grateful for the digital solution. He found a community there that understood his journey, and slowly, he began to rebuild his life.

Getting help, even online, turned out to be the best decision Franklin ever made. It was challenging to begin, but in Blevins Acre, where options were limited, it was a necessary and profoundly impactful step.
