So, I started out with Isaiah House as a client and went through their treatment program and started working for them right after I got out of treatment. they also helped me get my nursing license back because I had lost that. At the end of my addiction, you know, I felt really hopeless. Like there wasn’t there wasn’t an answer, but there is an answer, and all you have to do is ask for help, which you’re really, really scared to do. but I asked for help, and I got that. And anybody can do it. You got to start somewhere,” said Goode.
