It feels different, not being numb is something new. I've never made it past 23 days.This place gave me strength and hope to carry on.

Treatment was more then I expected. Everyone up here was really nice and helpful, especially the staff. I learned a lot about myself, and my addiction, and what to do when I get out of here.

The counselor assistants were great, and their groups were helpful. Treatment was wonderful, and it helped me a lot. I needed to hear the truth and look at things different. It allowed me to see reality in a way that I needed to see it. Treatment was not what I expected, I didn't think I was going to get a whole lot out of it, but I did.

I built myself up instead of relying on others to build me up. I don't have people around here putting me down.

I feel COMPASS overall was a tool that I needed in order to get back on track to guide me in the right direction. I had lost my way, and I needed this. The staff they were inspirational, and they taught me a lot through their self-experience and from their training. I learned a lot from both those perspectives.

One of the hardest aspects about treating addiction is that it is not one-size-fits-all. What makes COMPASS special is that treatment is individualized to meet the needs of each patient. This treatment helps patients see the beauty of recovery and helps them build a foundation for long-term recovery and personal growth.

I think very highly of treatment, because you saved my life. Because if I would have stayed out there I would have died. But I think you guys did a great job, I had to re-learn how to humble myself even when someone is telling me something I don't want to hear. I learned how to teach myself to have my hope grow, and I learned it is all about one day at a time, and to have reasonable confidence.
