🚫🎄 Don’t Let One Night Change Your Life — or Someone Else’s

The holiday season is a time for connection, celebration, and making memories. But it’s also one of the most dangerous times of the year for alcohol-related accidents. Every year, lives are shattered because someone chose to drink and drive.

✨ At Skyway House, we want our community to stay safe, healthy, and present for the moments that matter most.
Before you head out to a gathering, make a plan:

🚗 Designate a sober driver
📱 Use a rideshare service
🛏️ Stay the night if you need to
🤝 Look out for friends and family

A split-second decision can have lifetime consequences. Let’s protect each other this holiday season.

If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol use, Skyway House is here to help. You don’t have to face it alone. ❤️

🚭 Let’s Talk About Va**ng 🚭

Va**ng is often marketed as “safer,” but the truth is more complicated. Many v**e products contain high levels of ni****ne, chemicals that irritate the lungs, and additives with unknown long-term effects. For people in recovery, va**ng can keep the brain stuck in patterns tied to addiction.

At Skyway House, we support whole-person wellness—and that includes healthy habits for the mind and body. If you or someone you love is trying to cut back or quit, you’re not alone. We’re here to help.

💙 Recovery is about choosing health, one step at a time.

🌟 Thanksgiving at Skyway House: A Time for Gratitude, Hope, and Healing 🧡

As we gather this Thanksgiving, we’re reminded that gratitude isn’t just about what we have — it’s about the connections we share and the hope we can give.

At Skyway House, we see every day how recovery begins with compassion. Many of our residents and clients have faced homelessness, addiction, and unimaginable hardships. This holiday season, we’re thankful for the courage of each person who takes that first brave step toward healing — and for the community that walks beside them.

🍂 This Thanksgiving, we invite you to:

Extend kindness to someone who may be struggling.

Remember that recovery is possible — and no one is ever beyond hope.

Support local programs that provide warmth, shelter, and a second chance.

Together, we can turn gratitude into action. 💛

🦃 Gratitude, Healing, and New Beginnings 🍂

Thanksgiving is a time when many of us pause to reflect on what truly matters — connection, hope, and the courage to grow. At Skyway House, we honor everyone who is walking the path of recovery, whether you’re taking your first steps or celebrating another year of strength. 💛

Recovery is more than abstaining — it’s rediscovering pieces of yourself, rebuilding trust, and learning to live with clarity and purpose. And during a season centered on gratitude, we’re reminded of how powerful it is to choose healing, even when the journey feels overwhelming.

🌿 This Thanksgiving, we are grateful for:

Every person brave enough to ask for help

Every family supporting a loved one in treatment

Every small step toward healing, even the unseen ones

Every moment of hope that becomes a turning point

If this holiday feels heavy for you, you’re not alone. There is support, there is safety, and there is a community here ready to help you open new doors — one day at a time.

🎄 The Holidays & Seeking Treatment: A Hard but Courageous Step

The holiday season is often painted as a time of joy, family, and celebration — but for many, it can also bring overwhelming pressure, loneliness, and emotional stress. ❤️‍🩹

Choosing to enter treatment during this time can feel especially challenging. You may worry about missing traditions, stepping away from family, or feeling like you're “letting people down.” But the truth is this:

✨ Putting your recovery first is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself — and those who love you.

While the world slows down and festivities rise around us, it’s okay if your focus needs to shift inward. Healing doesn’t follow a calendar. Recovery doesn’t wait until “a better time.” And choosing treatment during the holidays is a brave act of self-care, strength, and hope.

If this season feels heavy, remember:

You’re not alone

Support is available. Call Skyway House at 530-898-9424 to talk with one of our caring and supportive staff 24/7.

And starting your recovery now means creating space for many more meaningful holidays to come

💛 Your well-being matters — today, tomorrow, and every season

✨ Remember when we said we had exciting news?

Well, as promised — here it is… ✨

A letter from our Executive Director, David Deichler...

At Skyway House, everything we do starts with one goal: to help individuals and families find lasting recovery and hope.

We’re excited to share that we are beginning the process of pursuing CARF Accreditation, an internationally recognized standard of excellence for behavioral health and recovery organizations.

This step reflects our deep commitment to providing the highest quality care for those struggling with addiction. Pursuing CARF accreditation means that every part of our program, from how we deliver services to how we measure success, will be reviewed to ensure we’re meeting the most rigorous standards of care, safety, and accountability.

Why are we doing this? Because our community deserves the best. Because every person who walks through our doors deserves care that’s compassionate, consistent, and effective.

This process will help us grow stronger as an organization and allow us to serve our clients, families, and community partners even better.

In order to help us accomplish this task, Ashley Keck, or Director of Admissions, has assumed the role of Director of Operations and as such, will guide our team through the accreditation process. Congratulations to Ashley!

To our incredible team, thank you for the passion and heart you bring to this work every day. To our community and partners, thank you for believing in us and walking beside us in the fight against addiction. To those seeking hope, we see you, we believe in you, and we are here to help.

Together, we are building a brighter, healthier future.

— David Deichler
Executive Director, Skyway House

🌿 The Strength in Humility 🌿

In recovery, humility isn’t about thinking less of ourselves — it’s about seeing ourselves with honesty, compassion, and openness to growth.

At Skyway House, we believe humility is a cornerstone of healing. It allows us to accept help, to learn from others, and to admit when we don’t have all the answers. True strength comes from letting go of pride and embracing the courage to grow.

Each day in recovery is a reminder that humility doesn’t weaken us — it sets us free. 💚

✨ Today, we invite you to reflect:
How has humility helped you move forward on your journey?

🍁 The Season of Change

Just as the leaves turn and fall away, recovery invites us to release what no longer serves us — old habits, pain, and patterns that kept us stuck.

Change can be uncomfortable, but it’s also beautiful. It’s the sign of growth, healing, and new beginnings.

At Skyway House, we believe every person has the strength to embrace change — one day, one choice, one moment at a time.

🌤️ This season, let’s honor progress over perfection and find beauty in transformation.
