This is my new “before & after”

Last week I finished my Intensive Outpatient program that I was enrolled in for the past five months. It was an incredible experience of being celebrated for the growth I have made during this time, and a reminder of how blessed I was to have found The RedPoint Center after my month stent in residential treatment.  When I flew out to Colorado on March 28th from Philadelphia, I was a shell of…
