In this gripping episode of 'Surviving Straight Inc', a former client of Lifeline in Salt Lake City pulls back the curtain on her harrowing experience. Growing up in an abusive household, she battled depression, anxiety, and self-harm. Despite being a shy, Straight-A student who stayed out of trouble, she was taken by transporters to Lifeline, where she spent a year in turmoil.
