Because of her addiction to pills, Tanya Mesa didn’t have much of a life. She lost her job, her physical health was deteriorating, and worst of all she lost the love and respect of her family.
“I lied and stole money and pills from my family,” explains. Tanya “It had gotten so bad that if I didn’t have 4 or 5 pills in the morning, I couldn’t get out of bed. That wasn’t living.”
What is most surprising about Tanya’s substance abuse issues is that it started innocently enough. At the age of 13 she had to undergo several surgeries that led her down the road to prescription pain medications. To complicate this, when she was 25 she had a car accident that gave her further access to the drugs. By the time Tanya came to the Narconon Freedom Center drug and alcohol rehabilitation program she was addicted to Lortab, Valium, Xanax and OxyContin; all starting with legal prescriptions. She had also gone on to use street drugs such as ecstasy, and cocaine.
“My addiction had gotten so bad that I was forging prescriptions,” explains Tanya. “I tried to take my own life twice and ended up at the intensive care unit.”
“I couldn’t take it anymore,” she adds. “Something had to be done.” The solution that Tanya found was Narconon Freedom Center and she enrolled immediately.
