We chose Legacy because it offered much more than traditional sit-around-and-talk therapy. Working in a group to overcome physical challenges gave our son the opportunity to think about and learn about what it takes to become an honorable human being, not just a substance-free one. The confidence he developed from his physical successes allowed him to face and take responsibility for his personal failures. We were very pleased by the creativity and flexibility shown by the staff to engage him in the process at his own level. The environment is one of support, gratitude and acceptance and this helped our son to develop his sense of accountability. The weekly letters we exchanged with our son, the weekly conferences with the therapist, and the Family Workshop gave us the skills to communicate in a much more satisfying and productive way. Legacy also assisted us in setting up a good aftercare situation so that we can continue to maintain the positive changes our son has made as he transitions to a healthy, independent life.
