A grandmother called - “This is the first time in awhile that I have felt some hope!”

A grandmother called asking for help for her grandson.  Her 10 year old grandson is living with addiction in his home.  Both his mother and father are caught in the cycle of addiction.  The grandson called his grandmother and said he was hungry and had not bathed in a few days.  The grandmother wanted to know what would happen if she called the Department of Children and Families, if she should section her son (her grandson’s Father), and how to get support for herself. We connected her with all the information she needed so she could make informed decisions and we set her up to attend a peer support group of other grandparents in the same situation. She said through tears,  “This is the first time in awhile that I have felt some hope!”

I started going there about 2 years ago...

“I grew up in Marlborough so I was at least familiar with the ARC and knew where they were located. I started going there about 2 years ago but it took me about 4 months going in and out. I finally was able to get sober 20 months ago and I’ve never really stopped going there. I feel very comfortable there and I have met so many great people there including my current sponsor. The ARC has really saved my life and I will forever be grateful for the place.”
