A Manila surprise: Finding hope from afar

A Manila surprise: Finding hope from afar

When Jordan* turned on the news on October 26, 2023, they never expected their day would alter so drastically. The report revealed a major scandal in the tech industry, where several high-profile organizations were caught in a web of deceit and corruption. Jordan couldn't help but feel a personal sting; it reminded them of an incident from years ago when they had been unfairly terminated from their job over false accusations.

This piece of news triggered not just old memories, but also Jordan's struggle with substance abuse that had begun with their job loss. The overarching feeling of injustice and helplessness had driven Jordan to seek solace in alcohol. Realizing how much this event was still impacting their life was a profound moment for Jordan.

Desperate for change and seeking a better way to cope, Jordan came across the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman & Hollis website. Intrigued by the promises of fostering better habits and building resiliency, they decided to give it a try. The program encouraged Jordan to face their problems head-on, set realistic goals, and turn their past experiences into steps for moving forward.

'Reading the materials in the Stepping Into Action program was like having a conversation with someone who truly understood what I was going through,' said Jordan*.

Experts have long debated the best approach to dealing with substance abuse. While some advocate for medication-assisted treatment, others believe in a more holistic approach that includes psychological and behavioral interventions. In contrast, some experts question the efficacy of purely online programs, arguing that face-to-face interaction is crucial for successful rehabilitation.

Nevertheless, Jordan found that the online nature of the Stepping Into Action program was precisely what they needed. In an area like Manila, Utah, where resources are scarce, the ability to access quality help from home was revolutionary.

In the end, Jordan realized that seeking help, even in unexpected ways, was the best decision they could make. 'Access to the Stepping Into Action program gave me a new perspective on my struggles and a clear path forward,' Jordan reflected. It was difficult to find anything nearby, so having the opportunity to do it online was a lifesaver.
