Jessica: Graduate of Palm Partners Recovery Center in Delray Beach, FL – This video features insight into palmpartners.com Palm Partners Treatment Center in Delray Beach Florida, © 2012 Palm Partners. Jessica’s Testimonial “I’m Jessica. I’m from South Burbank, Maine. I started off using drugs and alcohol at a very young age. It progressed quickly and brought me through a miserable phase in the end. I’ve been to a treatment center before and it didn’t work out for me, but this time around I wanted to change my life. I found Palm Partners through their website and after talking it over with my parents, we decided that it was a great fit for me. I was terrified to come here although it was my decision to go to treatment. I didn’t really want to go but I got here without really knowing what to expect and I found a community full of people just like me that were able to support me and help me and give me all the tools i needed. I planned on going right home after 30 days. I’ve been here 50 days now. I just graduated and I am staying in Florida and going on to a halfway house. And I couldn’t be happier about the decision I made. I feel confident. I’m still a little nervous, but I am excited to start a new chapter in my life. Thank you. And If you or anyone you know are suffering from an addiction problem, call Palm Partners. It’s really great.”
