From Bad to Worse: 5 Reasons Why Snorting Pills is Harmful
We’ve all seen the image of the rolled-up dollar bill and a line of white powder disappearing through it. Whether in film, on TV, or in real life, the image is unmistakable – the cut line and the trail of cocaine. And though cocaine can be abused in its various forms, snorting it is perhaps the most recognizable. But the abuse of drugs by inhalation does not end with coke.

Employee Spotlight – Emily Woods, Executive Director
The fight against addiction and mental health issues is lifelong and the relationships you build in treatment are incredibly important. The staff you meet at Destination Hope will be with you not only while you are with us here at the center, but long after you have left and throughout your recovery. Each of the clinical and administrative staff are dedicated to offering our clients the highest quality care and most comfortable experience possible. More importantly, each of us have stories and experiences, some of which include our own recovery or that of a loved one. These experiences shape how we see recovery and work with our clients.
Each month, we want you to get to know the people you’ll be working with when you arrive. We want you or your loved one to get here knowing that you are in good hands and we want you to know that we care passionately about your recovery and long term success. So scroll down to meet just a few of the many people that coordinate and deliver care here at DH.

It can be a very emotional and anxiety-provoking process from the time they initially reached out to admit, through their journey (whether from near or far), to finally walking through the doors of DH and into our admission suite.
My colleagues and I recognize the importance of connecting with our clients from the initial meeting, validating where they are in their process and letting them know we are proud of the decision they have made and will be here to support them throughout their treatment.
