Every success story definitely begins with humble beginnings where the protagonist starts with practically nothing and ends with almost everything. Don’t we all love stories like that? Needless to say, the Palmer Drug Abuse rehabilitation started like this as well and slowly emerged to one of the best drug abuse treatments available.
If you know Alcoholics Anonymous, the Palmer Drug Abuse Program is its counterpart when it comes to illegal drugs. It all started in 1971 when Father Chris Wyatt opened the doors of his chapel called the Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church in Houston for people who were haunted by the demons caused by illegal drugs. The program started helping people, even giving job opportunities to the rehabilitated.
The program is composed of various divisions. Each division caters for age groups ranging from the younger ones aged five to twelve to older groups or those anywhere from 26 years old and above. You might be thinking about what five to twelve year olds are doing on the list and the answer is basic – Palmer instills in them values and drug awareness so that they would choose not to take the path to destruction later on in life.
Palmer Drug Abuse also has one on one sessions for people who want a little bit more privacy or those who are scared to come out in the open. Confidentiality is very strictly adhered to and is one of the key principles of the organization. Family sessions are also held for those who have family members undergoing a battle against illegal drugs. This gives the person familial responsibility and a feeling of relief because he knows that his family is behind him all the way.
Over the years, Palmer Drug Abuse has continuously touched thousands of lives and helped relationships become strong again and again after the battle against illegal drugs. As of date, there are seven key cities that have their local Palmer office available. These branches are just as equipped with the proper knowledge in handling substance abuse problems as much as that from the main organization.
It is true when people say that no man is an island and this is probably what Palmer Drug Abuse Center is all about – being the nearby town to an otherwise isolated island in his own world. With the help of the people who were able to heal their lives because of Palmer, more and more lives will continuously be changed forever by a program that not only helps, but also cares.
