WHY TERMINATOR
Because we are relentless when it comes to fighting for your life and your freedom from addiction and mental health challenges. If you have been struggling with addiction, or if you have ever struggled with it, you know that addiction is all-consuming, it’s torturous, and it will take everything from you until it takes your life.
At Terminator, we believe that YOU are far more capable than you think you are. We believe that engaging your body and challenging your physical strength, endurance, and grit, ignites your brain to achieve what was once thought to be impossible. Whether you're trying to overcome your addiction for the first time - maybe you’ve tried multiple times before and kept slipping - or maybe you just want more out of your life and your recovery - We believe you can have it!
We know our ABRT Program can take you there. Beyond your current circumstances, what you believe about yourself and your abilities. Beyond your addiction, your mental health challenges, anxiety and depression. Beyond that tape that plays in your head on repeat telling you this is as far as you’ll ever go - that recovery can't happen for you - that you don’t have what it takes. I’m here to tell you right now – that’s a lie. And we can prove it.
So why Terminator? Because your life is WORTH IT, and the truth is you can recover.
