To Whom This May Concern,
Our society is in a terrible state. Children getting into trouble, seeking peace and finding it within drugs and alchohol.
Rehab is a wonderful program, however it has to go beyond that. It needs to not only sober up the disease but help them to find what it is that they are using the substance to heal and treat them for the depression before they are turned back into the street. Without some relief from the underlying problem they always fall back into the hated world from which they came from.
No addicts wish to be addicts...they just dont know how to survive every day strifes. They desire to be substance free. We need to find a way to enlist more mental health aids into the drug programs offered so as to give the addict a better chance of survival.
Please find it within your heart to look into the current program and possibly find one that fits for so many lost souls.
Thank you for your time,
Dawn Theilgaard

This is a honest look at the system that is failing those who need the help the most. Why is it that most vulnerable and needy get overlooked. Our society is crumbling but it always seems to be the same old story of not enough funds. Congratulations on the shiny.

Sis,
I can not thank you enough for your love and support...I truly do not know where I would be without so many of you behind me and so many prayers...I am honored to call you sis and love you.
Blessings,

Very well written and with much meaning. My hopes that there will be a change to the better for those who fall prey to such a self defeating disease.
Be well and be blessed,
Mouser
