I went to another program for drug addiction before I transferred here. The first place literally just took me to AA meetings and had group after group about the 12 steps. Seriously, how many times can you go over those? This place had a really unique program. They have serious groups about a ton of topics that I was dealing with and they are all different. They also aren't locked down. I got enough rope to make some mistakes but had my therapist and the staff there to help me through it. It's a lot more like living in the real world and it's not focused on 12 steps at all. We still went to meetings but I also got a chance to go to depression support groups and Smart recovery groups instead of all AA. I've been clean and sober for 5 months now and I finally got a job. I know I worked hard to get here but this place gets credit too for giving me the right direction.
