Review for Uniformed Services Peer Council, Jewett City, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My son is a caring, skilled EMT, who has worked in emergency departments as well as ambulance service. He has seen things ,while working ,that the average person would not tolerate. He also has struggled over the past 4 years with alchohol abuse. Seeing your child desperately wanting to get better but heading toward self destruction is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. There were days I didn't want to wake up in the morning because I wanted the pain, worry and stress to just go away. I had lost all hope.
Then my son became involved with Uniformed Services Peer Council. It saved his life and my sanity. From fighting to get him admitted to detox., to driving him to a wonderful 2 week rehab stay, this nonprofit has been there for all of us. Support was, and is, there for us regardless of time of day. Even if just a shoulder to cry on,
it was there.
My son is now 7 months sober. I am convinced this occurred because of Uniformed Services Peer Council. I can't begin to truly express my gratitude for all that was done to help us with this difficult disease.
