January 6, 2022: The Day Everything Changed
For Ruben, January 6, 2022, is more than just a date. It is the day he stopped trying to fight addiction alone and admitted that he needed help.
After struggling with addiction for more than 25 years, Ruben made the courageous decision to enter treatment at San Antonio Recovery Center. He spent 45 days there, beginning a process that would completely change the direction of his life. That choice marked the start of something he once thought was impossible: lasting recovery.
