A mother struggling with drug addiction is no longer waiting to get the help she needs.
She and her daughter traveled thousands of miles from home and will spend months away from their family as the mother tries to overcome her addiction.“Especially on hard days, when you feel like you’re going to quit or like, you’re ready to quit. But then you look over, you see your daughter smile, and you just can’t,” Hardy said.
Adult & Teen Challenge is a faith-based addiction recovery home that has served men, women and teenagers for decades.“I think if there was more available, more women would seek help, and that’s part of the problem is the shame and the guilt in covering it up and then not getting the care you need,” said Adult & Teen Challenge Women’s Campus Director Amy Schmidtzinsky.
