Outreach worked because it was a structured environment where parents are also held accountable."By the time Michelle was 13 she was hanging around with the wrong crowd, had started using pot and was drinking alcohol. Then she began to use and sell the hard drugs. I had no idea until I found needles in her room. I was in shock. Never expected this, it just wasn't on my radar for a nice family in Long Island. I never related any symptoms I saw to drug use, just assumed it was how teens behaved." "At first they put her in outpatient care, but it became clear that she need to be separated from her current environment. The residential program was life changing. Beside recovery, Outreach is a mind college for human development, teaching valuable life skills." "At Outreach, the success of your child depends on your commitment. It's a parallel process. We are on board with them knowing what needs to be done. We can use ten Outreach's in Long Island." "You have a deeper love for your child when you realize that you may lose them". - Michael, Michelle's father Adolescent Residential and Outpatient After Care - Brentwood |
