HEARTFELT GRATITUDE TO ALINA

It has been a wonderful and amazing thing to see Sam responsibly
navigate recovery and adulthood for almost three years now. Four
years ago he had reached the very fragile edge of a perilous cliff;
he called Alina and told them he couldn’t do it on his own.
As a mother, I loved the family meetings. The drive to Blairstown
became a special kind of “my time” to be alone, sort things
through, and heal. I learned much about myself as the parent of
an addict. Sam’s Dad and I are better parents for it.
Thank you Bill, Donna, and all of the wise and insightful people
of Alina Lodge. Especially best wishes to Bill – no doubt the
wonderful staff , clinical programming, and students will evolve
and thrive within Bill’s leadership and passion.
Sincerely,
Laurie Mills and Steve Herson
