Inspiring Stories of Recovery & Faith
At RYAN Healing Center, we have helped countless women break free from addiction, rebuild their lives, and strengthen their faith. Hear from those who have found hope, healing, and restoration through our program.
There was a time in my life when I was slowly dying—and deep down, I was okay with became my way to survive deep trauma I never knew how to face. I thought I was coping, but I was really drowning.
I ended up homeless, without direction or hope. I still believed in God, but I felt far from Him—like I had gone too far to come back.

Then came jail. Sitting behind bars, I was forced to face everything I’d been running from—especially the shame of knowing I couldn’t even stop for my son. I loved him deeply, but the addiction had such a grip on me that love alone couldn’t break it. That truth haunted me.
In that cell, I wasn’t questioning God’s existence—I knew He was real. But I didn’t know if He still had a plan for me. So I asked Him, “If You still see me… if there’s still something left for me, please show me.” And He did. He gave me a quiet, undeniable sign. It wasn’t dramatic, but it was enough. In that moment, I knew He hadn’t given up on me. I still mattered to Him.
After jail, I was given the chance to go to the Ryan Healing Center. That’s where my healing truly began. I found a safe place to grow, a powerful sisterhood, and leaders who believed in me. Judy, Jen, Jan, and Lisa poured into me with compassion, strength, and truth. Through their guidance—and the support of the incredible women around me—I began to face my pain, rebuild my life, and believe in myself again.
Today, I have one year sober. It has been the hardest year of my life—not because of outside struggles, but because of the deep work I’ve done internally. I’ve cried, questioned, faced shame, and chosen healing—over and over again. And every time, it’s been worth it.
One of the greatest gifts of this healing journey has been my son. He’s eight years old now, and he’s getting to know a different version of me—the version who shows up, keeps her promises, and is fully present. At one time, I couldn’t stop for him, and that pain nearly crushed me. But now, I’m sober, I’m stable, and I’m learning to be the mother he needs. We’re building trust, laughing together, talking more, and forming the bond I always dreamed of. I see the light in his eyes when he looks at me now—it’s no longer fear or confusion, but safety and love. And every moment I get with him is part of my healing.
My relationship with my mom has also been restored. Where there was once distance and pain, now there is love, honesty, and grace. We’re healing together.
I’m not the same woman I was—and I thank God for that.
I thank the Ryan Healing Center.
I thank Judy, Jen, Jan, Lisa, and every woman who stood beside me.
You didn’t just help me heal—you helped me live.
And now, I get to be a mother, a daughter, a woman of faith.
Because of you—and because of God—I finally have a chance.
My life before RYAN Healing Center was as disaster. I did not know self control or my workth as a child of God. I didn’t know how to function without drugs and drinking. My drug use all started at the age of 14. I went to several rehabs and detox centers. My mental was always off tried to commit suicide more times then I can count, in and out of mental wards, my physical health had gone down. I knew I needed help that I couldn’t do this along I needed God.

RYAN Healing Center has helped in so many ways. One of the biggest is reintroducing me to God and transforming prayer ministry, and Next Level church. Being on True Hope supplements has really helped in ways I couldn’t imagine. My head is clear like it never has before. My moods are not all over the place and I’m not in a fog all the time. The meetings, like Coda has really helped me realize I didn’t just depend on drugs and drinking but people as well. I also attend a SA class and that has helped me to begin the proess of all my hurt ad resoning for always turning to drugs and drinking, cause of all the sexual ause I have endured as a child and my adult life. Case management has helped as well. Really makes me think of my goals I want to achieve and stick with them. The staff here has been a great and wonderful help.
RYAN Healing Center offers so much more then just a safe place to heal, it offers love, guidance, support, understanding, a love of God, a love and understanding, comfort that in my recovery journey has ever given me. I am so grateful for all the staff here at RYAN Healing Center and showing me how to love myself and how to love God and have healthy relationships in my life.
Hi, my name is Casey. I’m a recovering addict and ex-dealer.
I was a meth addict on and off for 10 years—mostly on. I was in and out of jail since 2022, but I used way before that, since I was 14. I started meth at 18 years old. I am now 28.
In my addiction, I lost everyone I ever cared about most in this world. I had one child pass away—stillborn. That’s when I really got lost in my addiction. A month later I lost my daughter, DCF took my daughter Luna because I had her in a room full of drugs with her child’s father, who was on the run. Then Luna went with my grandparents.

Since 2022, I just couldn’t get myself together, kept going to jail, and lost all hope of ever getting out of addiction, seeing my daughter ever again, restoring the relationships I destroyed throughout my addictions with my family or even being able to fully grieve all my losses.
Then this last year February 11th-Nov 20th 2024, sitting a year incarcerated, I put in for recovery houses. Jen from RYAN was the one and only to contact me—twice. I knew I wanted a new life. I lost my parental rights in December while I was on the run, again.I told myself, at least she is with family.But then reality set in that I was at my bottom—truly broken. I don’t have family here. They all passed away or moved away, so I knew I had nowhere to go that was good for me. So I decided 9 months into my sentence to go to RYAN I put a hold on myself and Jen came to pick me up.
From that day my life has changed for the better. The staff and girls here immediately felt like family. What I was looking for, God gave me. God has provided me so many blessings. I was baptized.
Since then, everything changed for me too—my perspectives of things, my step work, my music is all Christian now. I have a job. I’ve been working at it for 5 months, saving for a car. My relationship with my family are slowly but in God’s timing being restored.
My favorite things we do here is SOAP, the church events together. I shout from the rooftops my blessing of recovery and tell all the new girls that this is the last stop, If they really want this, just do what they say. They truly know what they are doing here. Trust them, the process, and God.
Before I came to Ryan Healing Center, my life was completely unmanageable. For 12 years, I was trapped in IV drug use—mainly heroin and fentanyl. I lost custody of my children. I was in and out of jail and facing prison time. I couldn’t hold a job or maintain healthy relationships. I was caught in one toxic cycle after another. I had become a shell of the person I once was.
This isn’t my first time in recovery. I had tried it once before, but the difference between that time and this time is night and day. The first time, I didn’t really work the program, and it wasn’t faith-based. I was just going through the motions, and I didn’t give myself a chance to heal.

When I entered Ryan Healing Center, I was anxious but hopeful. I was especially nervous about trying to stay sober in the same town where so much of my past was rooted. But I was ready for change.
Since being here, I’ve been given so many tools that have truly helped me grow in my recovery—TPM, sex abuse class, parenting class, meetings. Church is something I always look forward to. It’s a time to give God my praise for bringing me through the darkest places of my life.
Case management each month gives me a chance to look back and celebrate the goals I’ve accomplished. The staff here is incredible! They have walked through the same pain and struggles, and now they inspire me daily.
I transitioned into one of the mother and children’s units a few months back, where my children stay with me on weekends and overnights and get to go to church with us. I see them as often as possible, and that alone is a huge part of my healing.
I am learning how to set healthy boundaries and rebuild relationships. I’ve paid off my driver’s license. I have a great job that supports me and works around my schedule and my recovery. Today I have been sober a little over 8 months, and that itself is a miracle.
If I could give any advice to someone just starting their journey, it would be this:
Let go of shame, lean into faith, and trust the process.
