Age: 29
Gender: Male
My name is Joseph. I had used drugs in one form or another since age 12. At age 19 I was introduced to a substance called "Tina." My Meth use increased over five years and made me totally incapable of living life on life's terms. My coping skills had dissipated and all my inhibitions went out the door.

I have been so blessed to have had an opportunity to come to The Watershed for treatment. I tried so many times to change my mind, but they kept encouraging me, so I came. I came to the Watershed October 2nd, 2007; I had been doing crack cocaine. The staff there was very professional which helped me to make up my mind not to do drugs any more. I thank Dr. Sal and the rest of the staff there for all of your help. I think anyone who wants to clean up their life ought to come to The Watershed. ...more |

"It Just a big thank you and God bless you! St. Jude saved my daughters life (Joanne) 4 years ago. She has been sober from crystal meth and xanax for 4 years now after being addicted for 3 years. We were just both talking about her anniversary at St.Judes. She was 18 years old when she went in and she is now 22 and very sober. We are both very thankful for St Judes."

A SON LOST...David,
I am so sorry to here of your son's passing. We haven't touched base in years, but my prayers are with you and Betty.

I can only say that we have the Hope to look forward to and I am convinced we will see our children there and the peace and power of God will thoroughly flood our lives. ...more |

A Grandmother’s Story...
I always called Robert, Bobby. I was the only one he allowed to do this. Maybe because I allowed him and his sister to call me Granny Goose; after a cookie jar in the shape of a goose. They would arrive at my home and ask, “ Can I have a cookie out of that Goose, Granny.” Thus my name “Granny Goose”.
The kids spent half of their young years with me and their grandfather. I baby sat a lot for their mom and dad. When Robert was still a baby I rocked ...more |
