"Scheduled medication was a gateway for my son, that turned him into a drug addict."
These are not words any parent ever expects to say…
What started with prescribed medication slowly spiralled into addiction, bringing devastating consequences that affected not only Nico, but everyone who loved him.
Addiction has the power to steal almost everything from a person. It affects relationships, physical health, emotional wellbeing and cognitive function. In Nico's case, his situation was so severe that he was left with permanent brain damage. For families facing similar circumstances, it can feel like there is no way forward…
However, today, Nico’s story is no longer only about addiction. It's about resilience, it's about hope and it's about proving that recovery is possible.
Nico's story...
There is no magic solution to overcoming addiction.
Recovery requires commitment, professional guidance, support from loved ones and a willingness to keep moving forward. Along Nico's journey, his mother Marietjie introduced Release SCE into his daily routine as part of his broader recovery plan. Over time, they noticed meaningful improvements in his mental wellbeing, focus and mobility. While every person's journey is different, Marietjie refers to Release SCE as one of the tools that has helped him rebuild his life and continues to give it to him daily. His story serves as a reminder that even after immense hardship, progress is still possible. These images are from Nico and his family before his addiction started...
