Founder Libbie Combee stands at the front door to the Leland Family Ministries Recovery Resource Center in Bartow. Leland is an acronym her son created, which means "Love everyone lonely and needing direction."
It was the voice of a stranger on the phone that started her long road to recovery.
She had led a double life, deceiving herself more than anyone, Libbie Combee says, looking back on the years she lost to drug addiction.
