I measure success at TLC in many ways. But one of my favorites is when I hear stories of clients who reestablish a relationship with their families.
And I heard a success story last night when a client told me he'd been in contact with an estranged daughter and found that he now had an infant grandson - his first.
There was joy on his face as he told me of plans to return home for a visit later this year.
This is exciting for me because this man had been in nearly a hundred rehabs before he came to TLC. He also spent time in prisons and jails on the East Coast.
And even when he came to TLC he left a few times before the program finally stuck and he gained a few years of sobriety.
When clients reestablish relationships with those knew them at their worst I know something has changed.
