CLIENTS' TRUE STORIES
Here are true stories from the mouths of BBC clients. As part of their treatment, volunteers who would be willing to tell their stories to be published on the web site were recruited. The stories that appear below were pulled from interviews conducted for this web site and from written essays the clients submitted. Comments added for clarity appear within the text in parentheses.

Story #1:"It's changed my life around."

Story #2: "To me, the BBC is like one of the best programs. Solid."

Story #3: "Out there, it seems like you only have one chance, but you come in here, it's like you can start your life over again."

Story #4: "The staff is really good because they've been through the same things that we have."

Story #5: "They have reasonable expectations of each client and the main thing is you gotta try and meet the staff halfway and they'll take care of the rest."

Story #6: "These people are like my family, my brothers. The staff is just like brothers."

Story #7: "In this place, you'll learn how to admit that you have a problem with either alcohol or drugs because there's some point in your life where you have to admit that you're powerless."
