About
One of the hardest things to do is watch someone you love fall deeper into their suffering. Substance use disorder can devastate a family for generations. I felt the pain my mother-in-law carried 10 years to the day. Her youngest son had died as a result of an accidental over dose due to a routine traffic stop. Swallowing a bag of crystal meth led to days in the hospital, compounded by medical malpractice and our family lost him. The legal system deemed his case "no quality of life". A young 25 year old soon to be father was gone in a moment.
10 years after Kirk's death we founded the Nichols Center, Inc with a promise to stand by families like our own. Our hope is that no family would have to suffer without support, comfort, or guidance. By learning to help families like ours we are learning to heal the brokenness we feel.
Vision statement: Family wellness and recovery center for grounding and growth.
Mission statement: helping families heal through wellness and recovery.
Provide trauma informed therapies in a safe space for families to find treatment and healing on a journey of wellness and recovery.
Provide education and training for families in transition to develop the tools and skills they need to successfully walk a journey of wellness and recovery.
Provide awareness and support for families to navigate their journey and advocate for themselves in their care and safety plan.
