I can give many success stories about patients. I didn't really want to go down that road.
I think the concept.... I have patients who have gotten their jobs back, gotten their spouses back. Most important is when you help people get their children back. That's the biggest home run in my work—seeing someone come in and introduce their children to you because you helped them in their path to recovery.
We talk about calling people. I've made many of those horrible calls. I've had tears on the phone with moms and dads, brothers and sisters. At the same time, I've had tears of joy and hugs when we're discharging people and they're successful, when they've been with us for years and they're showing us that they can and do recover.
It's about building hope. It's about believing that you can—if you want to—move down the path to remitting your addiction or your mental health disorder and get your life back, and that you deserve it.
