“There was much more to my addiction than drugs…After being at DC4 I can see how much my life has changed for the better. I know how to control my emotions better now and I can be a better father, son, and grandson with the tools I have gotten since coming here. DC4 saved my life and made me a better man in the process. I now know how to go through life without drugs or alcohol.”
