Jacqueline Strothoff

Executive Director, Teen Challenge Women's and Girls' Ministries Teen Challenge Vermont

Twelve years of drug addiction drove Jacqueline Strothoff to participate in every rehabilitation effort presented to her as she desperately struggled to overcome her addiction. Those years were devastating as she was committed several times to psychiatric hospitals and incarcerated for criminal activities. During one of those stays in a psychiatric hospital in 1974, Jacqui experienced a life-changing encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. Upon her release, she entered New Life For Girls, a one year Christian residential discipleship program in Pennsylvania. From there, she enrolled in a ministerial training program at Rev. David Wilkerson’s Twin Oaks Leadership Academy in Texas, where she met her husband, Bob. They spent the next several years working in Teen Challenge centers across the country and then settled in Springfield, Missouri where Jacqui earned a degree in social work from Southwest Missouri State College. Jacqui has ably served the Lord in a variety of capacities in churches and ministries. Her life and testimony has impacted thousands of hurting lives. Today that impact continues as she serves Teen Challenge New England and New Jersey in a senior leadership role. Jacqui is the proud mother of two adult children and the ecstatic grandmother of two adorable grandchildren.

More Information

It might surprise you to learn that so many of your neighbors are enrolled in this care, as many of them might not openly discuss their addiction treatment programs and their plans for recovery, but you might also be a little jealous of the fact that these people found care when you’ve not yet been able to do so. Thankfully, finding reputable Vermont drug rehab centers is relatively easy, if you know where to go and what questions to ask.

The Link Between Addiction and Crime

Using drugs in Vermont can be expensive. For example, the Burlington Free Press reports that a single 80-milligram dose of OxyContin purchased on the street can cost a user $80 or even more. Few people have this sort of discretionary money available, and they may turn to crime in order to feed their drug habits. By getting help, you could keep this from happening to you.

Getting Started

In order to find the right Vermont treatment center, you’ll need to spend some time retracing the steps of your addiction. You’ll need to have a firm grasp of details such as:

These details may seem trivial, but they can be instrumental as experts pull together a treatment plan for you. If you use specific types of drugs, for example, experts might provide you with medications to soothe your cravings. Other drugs might not be paired with any treatment medications at all. Knowing about your addiction will help the team design a program that’s sure to meet your needs.

Making Choices

The Vermont Department of Health has developed an extensive list of approved substance abuse treatment programs, split up by county. Looking at this list may be inspiring, as there are many different options available and some of these programs might be located quite close to your home. However, this list might also be a bit distressing, as it can be hard to determine which program might be right for you.

While you’re an expert on your own addiction, you’re probably not an expert on how addictions can be treated and what programs might be right for you.

Calling the individual facilities might help, as counselors are adept at helping people to find the right kind of program that could help them recover. But calling the programs can also take a significant amount of time, and you might be compelled to enroll as quickly as possible.
