Theresa loves being a mom to her three sons, but she also makes time for her hobbies like interior design, arts and crafts, and making flower arrangements. She wanted to be as present as possible for her children, which inspired her to pursue treatment for her substance use disorder (SUD).

As a result, Theresa's found pure and utter joy throughout her recovery journey, and she's a beacon of hope for us all. With access to the right treatment options, we can bring so many positives into our lives while letting go of the things that weigh us down.
