Your Future Begins… Here — Adolescent Recovery Programs

“I have a good relationship with my family and I’ve made real friends through the programs at Fairbanks… friends who are always there for me.”

Exploration and discovery during a young person’s life is both exciting and vital. Exploration helps us to understand who we are, and who we want to become. It offers a glimpse of our potential, and can put us on the path to fulfilling our dreams.

Unfortunately, that same exploration may lead to tobacco, alcohol or other drug abuse and addiction, and a future of dependency and struggle.

Since 1982, the highly-trained professionals at Fairbanks have helped thousands of adolescents and their families get their life back through a comprehensive and current approach to adolescent addiction treatment and recovery that includes:

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Debra, a former patient who now volunteers at Fairbanks, says that the best thing she received from her time in recovery here, was when she left.

“I had to face life on my own, and I learned I wasn’t afraid anymore – I could feel the peace.”

Being at Fairbanks, Debra says, helped her find the woman she’s been hiding all these years. “When I look in the mirror, I can say I actually like this person,” she says. “I had to deal with all my emotions and stuff. Before recovery, my emotions were in a bottle.”

“My biggest thrill is talking with the other women at Fairbanks,” she says. “They think I’m helping them…they’re helping me.”

Mindy, a graduate of Hope Academy, Fairbanks recovery-focused high school, learned an important lesson during her stay — the importance of being honest.

“I learned I had to be honest with myself,” Mindy says. “I had been lying to myself.”

Mindy immediately clicked with the staff, but the expectations were different than what she was used to.

“They weren’t just focused on your grades. They were focused on your sobriety, too.”

Mindy graduated from Hope Academy on May 28th, 2010, and has enrolled at IVY Tech Community College. After she finishes at IVY Tech she wants to earn a degree in mortuary sciences, but is committed to taking life one day at a time.

“I live by that,” she says with a smile.

David, a past patient and active volunteer at Fairbanks, was the recipient of the 2008 Volunteer of the Year award.

David works hard to assist other individuals and families, helping them understand that there is hope; and that the impact of recovery is real and powerful.

“I remember Dr. Tim Kelly told me to get in the backseat and let my recovery program drive me, and I’ve been doing that ever since,” said David. “Now, I’ve got my family back. I’ve found peace, I’m happy, healthy and I am complete. I have a sense of peace and serenity that I’ve never had in my entire life.”
