"The program helped me to the point where now I have a positive outlook on life; I know I can do anything that I set my mind to doing."
"The Program taught me to focus, not on my past (where I came from), but where I am going.If I can do it anyone can, because I was out there 24-7.I feel good about myself now."
"I like the classes that we take (through the private providers).We talked about recovery and relapse.The classes are educational and also teach you a new thought process such as identifying triggers.Instead of using, you learn alternatives ways to deal with things."
"If it wasn't for the drug court program, then I wouldn't be here."
"The drug testing helps with staying clean."
"The program keeps you busy which is good.With too much free time, there is more time available to slip and use again."
"The program has helped me to the point where I now have a positive outlook on life; I know I can do anything that I set my mind to doing."
