REIDSVILLE, N.C. (WGHP) — 11 percent of the population in North Carolina struggles with addiction, according to BrightView Addiction Facility.
The program is expanding. The newest addition is in Reidsville.
It is only the second facility of its kind in the entire state, the first BrightView facility is in Asheboro. They opened over a year ago, and they saw how it changed the lives of people in the community and decided it was time to expand.
“I never really thought that I could be where I am today,” BrightView patient Haley Fagan said.
“It actually saved my life,” BrightView patient Fannie Jones said.
“I’m no longer dependent on the pain medicine. I’m becoming me,” BrightView patient Angelina Smith said.
They are three different women with three different stories.
“I was 10 years sober, and I relapsed,” Fagan said.
“I woke up in the hospital being Narcaned,” Jones said.
“It just got to the point where I could not manage them like I hoped I could,” Smith said.
These women all have one common journey to sobriety.
