Meth took everything from Michelle. As she says, "I was the poster child of Meth." During her sentencing, the judge said you can go to treatment in county jail for 6 months or go to jail for 10 years. Michelle took the 6 months, got sober, went to college, and is now working at GOBHI (Greater Oregon Behavior Health Inc.) to help others who are suffering from addiction. Michelle is now working on getting her PhD in addiction.
