Throughout the year our Board of Directors hold focus groups within different CenterPointe programs to hear directly from consumers.

Consumers are also encouraged to fill out written surveys that offer feedback and comments during and after services.

These are some of the words recorded during 2010/2011. Your partnership with CenterPointe does make a difference!

Leaders in treating addiction and mental illness

I've been affiliated with CenterPointe since 1987 as an inpatient and outpa-

tient client and now as a board member.

In the earlier years of treatment with the Glide program, it was like being on an emotional roller-coaster.

I was very frustrated, in deep self-denial of my addiction, and experienced constant depression.

I established a pattern of frequent relapses and I would sabotage myself when things were going well for me.

I always wanted to be successful, but I also wanted to hold on to drinking alcohol. I decided to take the next step and go through residential treatment.

I was given many tools for self-betterment, but chose not to utilize them and I broke away after I finished treatment.

In December 2005, I was diagnosed with cancer and I decided I had to get sober before anything could be good in my life.

I didn't want to die living like this and I asked God for help.

I discovered the lessons CenterPointe gave me were still embedded in my head. It was like a light went on and I started using those tools to get sober.

I came back to CenterPointe as an outpatient.

I was learning coping skills and addressing my mental health issues but I managed to make working with my therapist or case manager very difficult.

I harbored anger and self-hatred. I lived a life of drama. CenterPointe kept accepting me and supporting me and I kept working toward lasting recovery.

Now, I have seven years of sobriety. I still work every day on my recovery.

I try to remember where I came from. I talk with other people and with youth about the storm times.

And, I give back to my community for all the support the community gave me.

Thanks To you,we are able to offer more than 15 different programs and services that help women, men and teens find lasting recovery.

The symptoms of mental

illness, addiction, and physical health illnesses leave many caught in what often feels like an out-of-control storm.

Just as the powerful forces of nature can hurl wind and rain that leave the strongest person feeling helpless, so too can brain diseases like addiction and depression leave the most capable person unable to cope.

CenterPointe meets each person where they are in their lives. No judgments, just listening. We understand these illnesses and we have the knowledge, training and experience to help.

We provide treatment, medication, housing, social supports and access to medical care.

We’re not just ‘any port in a storm’, we understand the storm and we can provide the tools to help someone get better faster and stay better longer.

For it to work well, it takes the generous support of the community: hygiene products, starter kits for houses, financial donations for services.

Thank you for being part of the solution — for helping hundreds of people find their way through the storm to a healthy, productive life.

Topher HansenExecutive Director

Remedyfor the

storm Making anImpact

As you will read in Sam Brown's story, recovery is rarely a straight, nonstop path from A to B. Extreme poverty and the severities of illness among the people we serve make this especially true.

People experiencing co-occurring mental health and addiction need three to five times longer to find lasting recovery.

Your support is important and is making an impact.
