Testimonials
You taught me there is HOPE even in the darkest of places and that change never comes easy.
I have high hopes for my future and the possibilities for me are now endless. It was all given to me through the love of the people running and involved in this program
You gave me hope. I have been terrified to live on probation with no place to go and no family.
Thank you for caring. (Peer Program)
Thank you both! I need this program so that I can live again. (Peer Program)
Happy to be alive today and very thankful for you both! Thank you! (Peer Program)
A real thank you to the instructors. There is a lot of value to what you are saying. I am LISTENING. (Peer Program)
I appreciate you taking the time to help me. My addiction is more complicated than I thought. (Peer Program)
I am grateful that you bring this program into the jail. (Peer Program)
I’ve learned how to become assertive and set boundaries with the outpatient program they offer.
I cannot say enough about the MAP Program. It has saved my life. I could not find a way to stay sober and the MAP Program has taught me how to do that, because of the program I have 7 months sober.
SAC has helped me to become the independent person I’ve always wanted to be. They’ve pushed me passed my limits to make me a better person. They’ve also shown me that they care like no other.
My gratitude has never been greater than this moment as I reflect on the SAC/WRAP program’s impact on my life and the professionalism of staff and their genuine care for participants and their safety (Recovery Assistance Program).
Words cannot express how thankful I am for each one of you. It’s no secret that, at times, my anxiety gets the best of me. You 3 have seen the extent of my anxiety when I first began testing and a couple more times after.
