Shaina's Story

Johns Hopkins
Not all drug rehabilitation centers are alike. The quality of care can vary widely, from excellent to ineffective to downright disastrous. When our beloved daughter Shaina decided to go to a rehab to treat her depression and addiction to Klonopin, we had no idea what to look for in a quality rehabilitation center. We were lucky that we found a wonderful rehab where she began her journey. However the last rehab she chose was shuttered by law enforcement shortly after her death.
On this website, we will provide links to reputable rehabilitation facilities throughout the USA. For those in financial need, we offer grants to help pay for the insurance deductibles that too often prohibit people from being able to afford the help they so desperately need. Shortly before Shaina passed away, she had been making great progress. In her journal, she expressed a deep desire to share her journey and inspire others to reach sobriety. We want to bring her vision to fruition. This was Shaina's Wish.
