While CTC has worked with thousands of people recovering
from drug abuse and drug addiction, it has always
been my philosophy that any recovery program should build its entire enterprise
to serve only one: The individual. In other words, we created CTC to exclusively
conquer drug abuse and help the next chemically addicted person from the
grip of drug addiction.
I myself have been in a 12-step program for 23 years. Clean, sober and
addiction free. Thank goodness those people helping me through my period
of drug abuse. Working with drug addiction and chemically addicted people
has since been my passion, and I often think back to those times and early
impressions that impacted my life so profoundly. I believe people working
in the field of drug addiction should take their job very seriously. In
my early days of sobriety it was the staff of the addiction recovery program
that had the most powerful influence on me.
When I first met these people, they were only strangers. Soon, however,
they became friends, mentors, examples of a new life without drug addiction,
and I came to feel that I could follow in their footsteps, and accomplish
a new way of living without drugs or alcohol. Because of that experience
I came to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Literally, I owe my
life, and a very good lifestyle, to them. I lead a fantastic life free
of drug abuse and addiction.
My experience makes me believe strongly that it is CTC's responsibility
to provide the kind of environment, and the kind of staff, that gives
each new individual client the same opportunity that I had.
