“I had to wait four months to get into a residential treatment centre outside of the city. Waiting was horrible. All I wanted to do was use. I tried to commit suicide and I knew I needed treatment fast. I think it is great that Ottawa is getting its own residential treatment centre.”
~ Rachel Hiemstra, 20 (has been clean for a year so far)
