Wilmington Treatment Center

I haven't touched opiates since Cara saved my life in the front office and watched my ex pass away. Another time, Cara saved me in that same seat from a pulse

My time at Wilmington Treatment Center is an experience I will never forget. Like many others, I was anxious about the unknown—I didn’t know what to expect, as this was my first time in a rehabilitation and detox center. But now, I can confidently say that this place can truly save you—if you’re ready to save yourself. If you don’t truly want recovery, it’s easy to believe the bad reviews or make excuses. But I can tell you firsthand that this is a clean, professional facility that provides real help. They will guide you through detox, and while the process was challenging, it was far better than trying to do it alone at home. The medical team provides assistance and medications that ease withdrawal symptoms. You’ll have your vitals checked multiple times daily and an assessment done prior to getting your medication in the mornings. My drug of choice was fentanyl and other opiates, and for the longest time, I believed I was too far gone. I didn’t think any place could help me—but Wilmington Treatment Center did. Once you’re stabilized, they offer optional classes to help you learn how to cope with addiction during detox and If you transition to residential living, you’ll attend Mandatory meetings that play a crucial role in long-term recovery. I only stayed in residential for two nights, but in that short time, I realized something important—once you leave, the responsibility is entirely on you. No one will hold you accountable anymore, which is why these meetings matter. We went wrong somewhere, right? So, we have to learn new ways of thinking and living. Counselors, therapists, psychiatrists, doctors, and peers all offer insight, and sometimes, all it takes is hearing one thing that truly resonates with you. That accountability can be life-changing. As for the staff—they genuinely care. They want to see us succeed in recovery, and I never once felt judged or embarrassed. They were easy to talk to, and many of them have battled addiction themselves, so they truly understand what we’re going through. I want to give a special mention to Kyle, Anthony, Miss Juanita, and D—whether you realize it or not, you made a difference in my life. I am confident in my recovery, and I will continue putting in the effort to stay clean. I’ve never been so proud of myself. I’m taking it one day at a time, and for the first time in a long time, I see the light at the end of the tunnel. My hope is that one day, I can offer my hand to someone struggling, just as others helped me. Additional Notes: • You’re allowed to smoke cigarettes freely. • During detox, you’ll wear scrubs, but you get your belongings back once you transition to residential. i bought everything in amazon packages and was able to use a fan (brand new) during detox, coloring books, word searches, buy new belongings if their is something specific you want there with you. Life is beautiful. Your life is worth living. If you’re on the fence about seeking help, I hope my experience encourages you to take that step. It’s worth it. you’re worth it! thank you. 🙏🏼
