"I've been in this program for about 3 years. It is one of the longest commitment I've been through, but it was worth it. When I first come to this program I thought that it was going to be one of those corny things my mom makes me go through just to get out of her face. For a while I had a hard time getting adjusted here, but the staff never gave up on me. The people have become my friends, real friends. I am happy to come here knowing I'll have people caring for me."
