Review for Coram Deo Inc, New Britain, CT, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I have been a volunteer, a donor and also serve on the board of Coram Deo. I have never personally ever had an addiction problem, but have seen a close family member struggle for years with alcohol and drugs. I believe strongly, that in order for people, especially women, to recover from the effects of addiction and the wake of consequences it leaves behind, they need to be around and supported by people who have understand addiction, and have walked in their shoes. Jody Davis, the Executive Director of Coram Deo has, and is the visionary behind starting this organization. It is the only sober living option available for women in Connecticut, and although some people might not agree with clients having to pay for rent, it is a strong reason why Coram Deo is successful and can maintain it's services. It's accountability. The women in the program are actively contributing financially to their own success and recovery.

Many of us have seen or experienced the effects of addiction. These are our sisters, daughters, nieces, aunts, mothers, and even wives. We ALL know someone, and we need to be honest, we are all a blink of an eye, one bad decision by a loved one away from being hit directly.

I truly believe Coram Deo is positioned to transform the way we care for women in recovery here in Connecticut. I believe in the mission, and I believe in the women we are helping.
