Longton's Lucky Turn
On August 11, 2022, the news headline read: 'Nation Faces Substance Abuse Crisis, Federal Measures Announced.' For many, it was just another piece of information. But for Kelly* from Longton, Kentucky—a small town where everyone seemingly knew everyone—it triggered a cascade of emotions she had kept at bay for years. The measures mentioned included stricter regulations and increased funding for rehabilitation programs, a sharp reminder of her own battles and the loss of her brother to addiction years ago. The article was a stark wake-up call, bringing back memories of her brother's descent into substance abuse and the difficulties she went through trying to help him. Kelly’s* emotions were raw and unfiltered; the pain of that chapter of her life was ever-present, hiding just beneath the surface. Determined to face these memories head-on, Kelly* began searching for solutions and came across the Stepping Into Action program found at hofmanhollis.com. Feeling a sense of hope, she decided to enroll in the program, following materials diligently. For the first time in years, she felt she was taking constructive steps toward her own healing and finding ways to help others in similar situations. 'I never thought that reading a news article would be my turning point,' Kelly* shared with a newfound confidence. 'The memories were painful, but they pushed me to get the help I’ve needed for so long.' According to experts, the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs can vary widely. Some heralded Stepping Into Action as a comprehensive guide to overcoming addiction and its ripple effects on families, while others were skeptical, suggesting that face-to-face interaction was irreplaceable. However, the flexibility and accessibility of online programs made them an appealing option for many. Despite mixed opinions, Kelly* found solace and a way forward. The Stepping Into Action program gave her tools she never knew existed and a community she could rely on—all from the comfort of her home. Indeed, finding help may not have been easy in a small town like Longton, but the online resources proved to be a lifeline.
