Choices

Angie Tuttle has been a client of CHOICES Port Clinton since October 2019. She says the program has given her a renewed perspective on life and encouraged dreams she once would have never considered. WHAT HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE BEEN LIKE SINCE YOU’VE BEEN AT CHOICES? I’ve learned a lot from the sessions, especially the one-on-ones. I’ve felt safe and gotten to work on the issues that were rooted in my life and that I overlooked for so long.The counselors give us pointers and coping skills to go back out into the world and know how to function around possible influences. I first started here coming three times a week, and throughout that time, they’ve held me accountable.That gave me the foundation to build a support group. I learned that CHOICES was a dual program in that it has mental health counseling along with drug and alcohol counseling. I had a 17- year addiction to heroin that led to multiple prison sentences. I’ve also lost several family members to overdoses. So when I heard about the services that CHOICES offers, I knew this was the type of program I needed to be in, something that would help me address both mental trauma and addiction. HOW DID YOUR JOURNEY LEAD YOU TO THIS PROGRAM?
