About Us
Who Are We?
Well, we are you. We’ve been the drug addict at his or her wit’s end, knowing his or her life has been reduced to nothing but lies, cover-ups, and excuses. We, like you, knew that our lives weren’t right, but we also lacked the strength or humility to admit we were beat. Don’t get us wrong. We could fake normality. We went to work. We paid our bills. We had everyone fooled, right? Wrong.
Who Else Are We?
Well, we are you. We are the loved one who doesn’t know what to do. We are the mother, the father, the spouse, the sibling or the child who can see what is happening to the loved one but who doesn’t want to act out of fear of hurting or alienating that person. We are the one being eaten from the inside out of guilt, anger, frustration and fear. We are the one who stays awake at night hoping, and at the same time dreading, that the phone might ring.
Personally: We Are a Mother and Son who have traveled the road you are on now. We’ve dealt with professional and financial problems resulting from drug and alcohol addiction. We’ve had the same frustration, concern, anxiety, anger, regret and remorse that you’re having.
We’ve also lost friends to drugs and alcohol, regrettably to death in far too many.
We’ve also come out on the other side. Finding the right place and type of treatment was daunting to say the least. Our goal is to help as many as possible by doing it with as few as possible at a time. We know that this may be difficult, but if the end result is TRUE help for those who seek it – it’s worth it.
Our personal struggles and experiences led us to create Bayshore Retreat. We know what works and frankly, we’re more concerned about quality than quantity.
