Client testimonials

Paul A (client): "I've tried other programs...The difference is that at Spero I wasn't learning about my addiction as much as I was learning about how to live a life in recovery. At Spero, I was introduced to the 12-steps and have since become an active member in the recovery community. Coming to Spero gave me hope again for a full life and I didn't think I would ever have that."

Calen B (client): "I don't think I ever could have imagined what it would be like not drinking anymore. Since Spero, I have a huge community of friends in recovery and was able to take the time to really dive into doing the 12-steps. Now I have people I can call, meetings I'm expected to be at, events I'm invited to, newcomers to take to coffee, hikes to lead... I didn't think I'd have this kind of life. I'm grateful for everything I had to go through in order to now get to live this life."

Nancy P (family member): "My son had been to 4 treatment programs but nothing was like this for him. He's never come out and been so connected to a recovery community. I thought I would have to motivate him to stay serious after leaving Spero, which is what happened every time before, but something is so different about him this time. He calls his sponsor daily, he goes to meetings, has breakfast with other people in recovery weekly, and doesn't act like he's 'cured.' He continues to pursue his recovery, even after Spero, which I never thought could happen."
