Medella House ’ s goal is to love
5 people back to life after addiction , why is it so important to help out others who live here in Southern Indiana ? How does this raise our community up as whole ?
We believe everyone we love back to life will in turn do the same for others . That is the best thing about those in recovery or affected by addiction , the willingness to give back and share their story and lessons to help another is unparalleled . The recovery community is amazing in that aspect , that is what it is all about . For so long there has been such a negative connotation in the community for those suffering , so bringing awareness helps negate the stigma which in turn gives those suffering hope and releases the guilt addiction carries . In turn when women are ready to change their lives , knowing there are places to go will allow an ease and comfortability in taking the next steps . And when they do , we will be here ready and willing to do whatever we can to love them back to life .
