recovery treatment center

mike wilkerson: my name is mike wilkerson,i am the director of personnel for serenity point rehab.serenity point was a sponsor, one of the sponsors for recovery palooza. and what happened thereis a, people that are in recovery would stop by and grad the information from us. someof the people that we brought from serenity were able to go to some of the different boothsand were able to be creative. a lot of the folks we have are very creative and very highenergy and being able to involve the clients that we had there and being able to feel outin the community and feel normal again. and its just a critical step in their recovery. syerra: my experience with both serenity pointand the recovery palooza were amazing. just

being around people that understand and havelike a passion for sobriety is something that compels me to stick with it, you know. andlike, from both of those places i’ve learned like so much about the potential that recoveringaddicts have. and, i talked to a lot of people that were from other rehabs and like, hearingtheir stories and them sharing what they had been through and then what i had been throughand how they differed and how they were similar. and, i was interested in what they had beenthrough because, we’re all there learning about each other. just so many different programsfor so many different types of people. forrest: the recovery palooza was really interesting,it was really inspiring having a lot of different programs and rehabilitations centers cometogether so people can come see whats happening

and get information. and, i checked out, theyhad a big stage there, that they had people talking with many years of sobriety. it wasvery enjoy full, i liked it a lot and i got a lot of great information from a lot of differentplaces met a lot of different people and it was, it was just a good time. i had a lotof laughs, had good fun - good natural fun.
