Depression isn’t always a chemical imbalance sometimes it’s your nervous system shutting down after being forced to survive for too long.
When your body has spent years in fight or flight, constantly on edge, constantly trying to protect you, it eventually says “I can’t do this anymore.”
You stop feeling motivated. You stop caring about the things that used to make you happy. It’s not because you’re lazy or broken it’s because your system is exhausted. Your body isn’t designed to stay in survival mode forever.
Depression can be your body’s way of saying it’s time to rest, to feel safe again, to stop living in constant defense. Healing means learning to regulate, to slow down, to stop blaming yourself for being tired of surviving.
Your body isn’t failing you it’s protecting you the only way it knows how. 💭❤️

Lane Kiffin said he didn’t hit rock bottom he just got tired of digging.
That really shows how self-awareness can be the turning point. He didn’t wait for everything to fall apart before making a change; he realized he was the one holding the shovel.
Sometimes it’s not the crash that wakes you up, it’s the quiet moment when you realize you’re tired of your own patterns and that’s where real transformation starts.❤️

✨ Nothing that happens today requires a drink. Life will throw things at you, but none of it is worth losing your peace, your progress, or your future. You’re stronger than the urge. 💪🕊️❤️

✨ Removing alcohol and drugs won’t magically solve everything but it clears the fog so you can finally face what’s real and start working on it.
Recovery doesn’t promise easy, but it promises possible. 💪❤️

Reminder: you’re not the only one skipping drinks this weekend. 🥤✨
Sometimes it feels isolating, but the truth is there are millions of people making the same choice right alongside you.
Sobriety isn’t rare, it’s powerful and you’re part of a community bigger than you think. 🌎💪❤️

The truth is, the drugs never loved you, and neither did the person who handed them to you.
That high won’t heal the pain, and that so-called friend won’t stand by you when it all falls apart.
But there’s one place that will never stop opening its doors your family. Go home to them. That’s where real love, forgiveness, and healing are waiting for you.❤️

That ‘one drink before bed’ might feel relaxing, but it’s actually stealing your rest. Alcohol blocks up to 75% of your REM sleep the stage your brain needs to repair, restore, and reset.
Even after 8+ hours in bed, you can still wake up feeling drained.
Skip the nightcap, protect your recovery, and give your body the deep rest it deserves. 💤✨

“You have to always put yourself in someone’s else shoes and realize that true success is when you are able to give each other a hand“ – Naomi Oden.
Elmhurst Home, Inc. (EHI) was founded in the late 1970’s by Mr. James Oden & Mrs. Naomi Oden. For many years prior to opening Elmhurst Home, James and Naomi would have different meetings out of their home to help encourage those who they called “down on their luck”. In the late 1970’s they saw a growing drug epidemic in the city of Detroit and recognized that something had to be done to save their community in which they loved so dearly. James & Naomi, had several businesses throughout the Detroit metro area, but helping those in need was always very near to their hearts. They closed down their other businesses in order to really focus on developing a substance abuse treatment center (12007 Linwood Ave.). Their vision of a community was one that constantly gives back to those in need. This vision and passion to help those in need, birthed the idea of a place where those can come to get clean and make a positive change in one’s life.
This same vision and passion was passed down to John C. Oden (current Executive Director). Elmhurst Home, Inc., which started out with just one contract and one building, has throughout the years, expanded to several contracts and a new building.
Naomi’s Nest (name after Naomi Oden) was opened in 2005, as the first all women’s facility for Elmhurst Home, Inc (EHI). The dedicated staff of EHI has helped expand the organization but the vision and leadership of Mr. John C. Oden has guided EHI to what it is today. “Make good decisions” is a famous quote from John C. Oden, who throughout his years of service at Elmhurst Home, Inc. has always put people first and he has carried on the vision and passion of his parents through his dedication to make Elmhurst Home, Inc. one of the best substance abuse treatment centers in Detroit.
