Testimonials
Cherita's Story
My name is Cherita and I am currently 39 years old. I started using crack cocaine at the age of 23. I dealt with a variety of challenges, such as depression, domestic violence, and self-esteem issues. Eventually, as a result of my addiction, I would become homeless and spend time in every major shelter in Cleveland. I also tried to stay with friends and other treatment programs, but I would always relapse and end up on the streets again.
My entrance into Y-Haven represented my 14th attempt at recovery from my addiction. This time, I was going to take my time and move at my own pace to ensure that I would stay sober. Y-Haven has been so helpful because it has so much to offer: treatment, safety, and life skills. With the help I’ve been getting at Y-Haven, I have several plans for the future. I’m writing a comic book series to help other people recover and I also want to create a shelter for women and their children with all the resources they need once I finish my treatment. I know that there is a long way to go, but Y-Haven has given me the hope I was missing for so long.
Richard's Story
I grew up here on the East side of Cleveland. Ever since I was young, I was around drugs and alcohol. Everyone in my neighborhood used some sort of substance. It was normal. My mother used drugs and my father was an alcoholic. When I was 11 or 12 years old, I started smoking weed. Since then everything escalated. I got into some trouble when I was 17 years old and I went to Jail. I was there for 27 years of my life. During my time there, I was able to complete high school but was unable to continue on to college. Since then I have been in and out of treatment 15 times. I was never homeless though. I always had a friend or family member who would help me.
Since being at Y-Haven, I have been able to achieve 6 months of sobriety for the first time in my life. There is always someone to help you here or to talk to if you need it. While I have had to be more honest with myself and with others. As well as working on all the guilt, you obtain from being an addict. I am glad that I am here. I am going to stay the course and commit myself to it. I want to complete the program fully so in the spring I can apply for my own housing. I want to be able to do things with my son that I missed when he was younger. I have stability here and with that, the goal is to stay sober and clean.
