There’s no right time – only right now.
Get substance use and co-occurring disorder treatment this holiday season at New Hope Ranch.
The Ultimate Gift: Recovery
Although this is considered the most wonderful time of the year by many, it can be anything but when you’re struggling with an addiction to drugs or alcohol. The holidays can come with more stressors than cheer. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) data shows that drug overdoses increase during the holiday months with these common stressors: family conflict, grief, financial strains, celebratory events and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
If you see yourself barely hanging on and surviving the holidays by abusing substances, know that New Hope Ranch is here to fully support you.
