When facing life’s toughest challenges, hope can feel like a lost emotion.

Dawn Dalgarn’s journey has been marked by unimaginable loss and hardship, from childhood trauma and the murder of her father to struggles with destructive patterns and time in prison. Despite facing repeated setbacks, including homelessness and the loss of custody of her daughter, Dawn found hope and strength through her recovery journey.

Her path to healing began in prison, where she engaged in counseling, education, and spiritual growth, and continued at Life Treatment Centers. There, she received unwavering support, accountability, and the tools to rebuild her life. Today, Dawn is a Certified Peer Support Professional, has regained a relationship with her daughter, is working toward full custody, and now works at Life Treatment Centers herself, helping others find the same hope and direction.

“Life Treatment Centers gave me hope, guidance, and a family when I needed it most,” Dawn says. “They helped me turn my life around, and I am on a path upward. If I can do it, anyone can. If you or a loved one is struggling, we are here to meet you where you are and help you reclaim your life.”
