I started my journey in recovery in January 2017. I’ve been an addict and alcoholic since I was 16 years old. I had a family with 3 kids, a home, and a great job as an electrician and because of my using lost everything and became distant from my kids. I reached out for help and went to in-patient treatment and at 6 months sober started working at Rocky as a Treatment Assistant in August 2017. About a year and a half later I was promoted to Admissions Coordinator. I am usually the first person someone talks to when reaching out for help, either for themselves or a loved one. I can honestly share with them that there is hope for the suffering addict and alcoholic.

My passion is helping people find recovery through the discovery in treatment. And today my relationship with my kids is indescribable! Through working the 12 Steps I have a life I never could’ve dreamed of.

My name is Leanna, I am a recovering addict. I was born and raised here in Great Falls, MT. I have struggled with addiction for over 10 years. I grew up in a home full of alcoholism and addiction, I told myself I would never choose that path, I believe it chose me. My father killed himself in 2003 and that is when I found my escape through drugs and alcohol. My addiction carried me through some very low phases in my life. At 29 with 2 amazing sons, who were growing up fast, I realized I was raising them the same way I was raised. With this realization, I knew it was time to pick myself up, ask for help and start fighting for my life. With the help of my higher power, inpatient treatment and the 12 steps I was able to reclaim my life. Today I am very proud to say I have almost 3 years clean and sober.

There is no way I could have done this alone. That is one of the many reasons I love Rocky Mountain Treatment Center. I want to be there for the ones still struggling, to help instill hope into their hearts and let them know they are not alone.
