Stout Street Foundation

Serenity at stout street was a wonderful experience for me I was there for 30 day's and at the end I didn't want to leave the staff really made me feel at home and welcome they were kind when i needed it and gave me the advice I needed when I had hard day's they always encouraged me to take some time and talk to some one. Out of all the treatments I have been to this is by far the best one the help i got there was amazing it really opened me up to alot of things about my addiction and myself it was a blessing to be apart of something so special and would advise anyone struggling life with addiction to go to serenity.

May 23rd, 2018 after multiple arrests and a few long miserable years of destroying myself I was given an ultimatum by larimer county drug court. Go to stout street or go to the community corrections for 2-6 years.

Community corrections would have been way easier and less challenging, but I had literally just lost one of my closest family members to an overdose and my family was torn in pieces at the time.

I didn't want help, but my family didn't want me to die and I didn't want to hurt my family anymore. I knew if I didn't stop I was going to die, so after weeks of sitting in jail I finally decided I was going to go.

It was really hard in the beginning, I was very unfamiliar to everything. I felt like I didn't relate to anyone and that I wasn't in the right place. I wanted to leave several times during the first month but thankfully I didn't. It became much easier after I built friendships with some people and started to see the benefit within in the classes and therapy.

I started to talk to counselors more often and really pay attention to class at around 6 months in, it ended up working out really well for me and I ended up meeting a lot of awesome people and having tons of fun. It's really hard at times but you do have a lot of fun there.

Anyways I completed last June and Im doing better now than I ever have in my life, renting a house with a couple friends from the program and working full time, saving money. I still do therapy with a counselor, the work is a lifetime thing but I've grown so much and learned so much more in the last 2 years than I have in my entire life.

I'll forever be grateful I made the choice to come here

I completed Stout Street Foundation in 2004. It helped change my life and give me the tools and skills needed to be successful in life. It's not easy to look at your own issues, but if you can push thru it's definitely worth the life that's waiting for you!
