Mia was the nurse who was there for me from the beginning of my stay. I was still detoxing and was experiencing pain all over and shaking, everything that comes with withdrawal. She was a kind voice who stayed calm and was comforting despite my attitude or rude behavior; however, she remained consistent. She saw my angry side and my good side, but no matter how I acted, she treated me like a human being, not a "patient." I felt very comfortable talking to her about personal issues pertaining to my care. I think it is people like her that really shape the image of health "care", especially mental health.
