1 RESOURCES for Victims of Substance Impaired Driving
2 My life was changed forever when a drunk driver driving on the wrong side of the road crashed into me. After I was released from the hospital I learned how to walk and talk again. My two kids were my motivation to heal. I used to work in healthcare, but after the crash I couldn t do that any longer and needed a different career. I connected with the office of Vocational Rehabilitation in my state. They gave me the money to go back to school to get a new job. I ve been with my company for three years now and love my job. I couldn t have done it without the help of those programs and the support of family and friends. Seeking Assistance - What to Ask?
