Addiction Recovery and Rock Stars  
 
Addiction Recovery
  is not an unknown status for some rock stars. The world of rock and roll has certainly seen its fair share of addiction and substance abuse. In fact, drugs, alcohol and other risky behaviors are not only common among musicians; sometimes the entertainment industry makes it seem that they are celebrated! However, there are many rock stars that have kicked their habits and are now in recovery from addiction. READ MORE

Triumph Treatment Services

About Ushttp://triumphtx.org/wp-content/uploads/triumph-treatment-logo1.png

We offer instruction, assessment and referral, outpatient and residential treatment and housing. Triumph Treatment Services strives to be responsive to the chemical dependency treatment needs of the community of Yakima and the state of Washington.



History- Triumph Treatment Services is a comprehensive non-profit 501 (c) (3) agency serving Yakima County with chemical dependency treatment, outpatient, residential, and housing services. It is multifaceted, providing a continuum of care for chemically dependent individuals and their families.



Founded in 1961 as a small outpatient alcoholism treatment center, the agency has, since then, added four residential chemical dependency treatment facilities: One 78-bed facility for men in Buena, Washington; Three 16-bed facilities for women and their children in Yakima, Washington. We currently have one outreach program. This is the Parent-Child Assistance Program (P-CAP) which utilizes seven para-professionals to seek out and support at-risk women and their children. This is a best practices model.



We have 134 units of various kinds of housing but all low-income, clean and sober, and case-managed. We serve individuals and families in both transitional and permanent housing. We also manage a short-term shelter for families. We have several contracts which incorporate outreach and intensive case management.



We purchased Roosevelt Place, a former nursing home, in 2003. This facility now houses a commercial kitchen and women/children’s supportive housing. The housing program is a partner with Building Changes: Washington Family Funds. The program supports families with child advocates, housing case managers, and other necessary services.



We are part of the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) Pacific Northwest Node which allows us to participate in research projects and selected clinical trials. We were chosen as a community partner because of our comprehensive programming, experience with research and our interest in transfer of research to practice.

November 8 Chp 56 v 8 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS


You keep track of all my sorrows .

You have collected all my tears in your bottle .

You have recorded each one in your book.


STEP 2 - Came to believe that a Power greater (God) than ourselves could restore us to sanity.



This is one of the most powerful verses I have ever read out of Gods Big book. Collects my tears , records my sorrows. The first thing that tells me is there is a God above and He is watching over me so closely that He knows of all my sorrows , ALL ,not some. he cares so much about me that He writes them down in a book that has my name on it. With that He has a bottle to catch my tears.I had no idea their was a bottle that big. For those of you drowning in a sea of sadness believing that loneliness will be the log that sinks you into despair then death .This scripture lifts the log and parts the water so you no longer will drown but God will place you on solid ground. Step two is true and there is a God who loves you and I can picture Him with a tear in is eye every time your hurt and cry yourself to sleep believing no one loves you . Stop looking to the world for love you will never find it all the world has to give is pain . God is a loving Father who cares and loves you more than you will ever know .


Zephaniah 3:17 - The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
By Joseph Dickerson

COMMENT OF THE WEEK
Street Beat
This week, Timothy Michael Biron told his story aboutliving as a homeless addict. Readers appreciated his honest storytelling:
You're story hit home for me. I cried the whole way through. I felt like I was reading about myself, but with one difference I had a family and a daughter . They would take me back every time. Even every time I went to prison, which was 4 times. You're story gives me hope. I'm on a lot of meds for bi-polar and manic depression and when I have my low days its so hard not to fail. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I'm about to check myself into another rehab so we'll see. I'm a crack addict, dope fiend, pill head and junkie. I hope it works because my daughter is 12 and my parents are in their 60's and they wanna make sure I'm ok before they pass on. Well thanks for you're story you've giving me a lot of hope
