In early 2018, Jennifer Cole got a second chance at life. And she was not going to waste it.
Her 90 days of rehab at the Family Recovery Center in Oceanside gave her plenty of time to consider her next move. She didn’t have any friends or family in Oceanside, and her children were not in her custody at the time. Jennifer was completely alone and tempted to return to her old stomping grounds in San Diego.
“I really considered going home to San Diego where I knew I would have friends,” Jennifer said. “But the more I thought about it, the less I wanted to return to square one with the people and places that got me in this situation in the first place. I got to go through rehab and start over. So I should really start fresh.”
Over the months she spent at the Family Recovery Center, Jennifer watched construction crews build new apartments across the street. She wondered if those apartments could be a potential housing option for her when she finished rehab, so she asked the Family Recovery Center team about the new building.
