I know what you are going through. I've been there and come back. Drugs almost ruined my life."I was living a very crazy lifestyle from selling drugs to robbing people to smoking every single day. I couldn't talk with my family, especially my Dad. Then my Mom found Outreach and everything changed. Sharing my experience with other residents has provided support in setting up boundaries for myself. Counselors treat you the way you act, if you respect them, they respect you. Through this program I became responsible for myself. I earned my GED and have a better relationship with my father while setting an example for my brothers and sisters. A few weeks before graduating the program, I started college and hope someday to be a lawyer." Adolescent Residential Ridgewood, Queens |
