Jake's Story
"When my younger brother, Jake, admitted to struggling with substance use but refused residential treatment, we felt lost. We worried about how to support him without enabling his substance use. That's when we found Rise Up To Change, a service that became invaluable to his recovery by providing peace of mind to our family and accountability for Jake.
​
Before enrolling, my family was always worried about Jake and tried to monitor his substance use which created stress and tension. RUTC Monitoring provided regular, confidential updates which removed that burden from our family by allowing the professionals to oversee the testing and interpret the results. Knowing the results were reviewed by experts gave us peace of mind and also provided oversight and accountability for Jake. Additionally, testing from home eliminated any potential barriers - no lab visits, no stimga, no distruption. Jake was able to continue working while receiving essential support. Having ongoing support ensured Jake stayed on track, protecting his progress without requiring a costly rehab stay.​ Rise Up To Change was the bridge between addiction and stability, providing structured accountability, expert oversight, and peace of mind for our family. It was the solution we needed when residential treatment wasn't an option, helping Jake reclaim his life!"
Lauren's Aftercare Journey
After completing a treatment program, my wife Lauren was committed to staying sober, but we knew the transition back to daily life could be challenging. Rise Up To Change became a critical part of her aftercare plan, ensuring she had the accountability and structure she needed to maintain her progress. The ability to complete confidential drug tests at home removed the need to go to a lab and allowed Lauren to focus on rebuilding her life. Regular monitoring provided reassurance - not just for her, but for our entire family. Knowing professionals were overseeing her results gave us confidence and allowed us to focus on healing our relationship rather than playing the role of enforcers. My wife felt supported by the expert guidance and ongoing oversight, and I had peace of mind knowing she was staying on track. For our family, Rise Up To Change was an invaluable piece to her aftercare journey, allowing us to move forward with trust and hope."
