Adam K. – Alumni

After a multitude of unsuccessful individual therapy sessions, my parents sent me to the Insight Treatment Center in Sherman Oaks.  I was sixteen years old and had developed not only a progressive drug habit but displayed severe behavioral defiance.  My life was slowly spinning out of control but I wasn’t in a position to recognize the wreckage that I was creating.  Insight helped me identify my issues as well as allowed for my family and me to work through them.  I also significantly benefited from being in an environment where others were experiencing and dealing with similar challenges.  Eventually, I graduated from Insight and proceeded to not only stay clean and sober but also begin to aspire towards my dreams and goals.  I’m currently twenty-eight years old and have over eleven years of continuous sobriety.  Throughout these last eleven years, I’ve been able to not only graduate college “magna cum laude” but I’ve also been able to accomplish my life long dream of playing professional baseball.  However, most importantly, I have an amazing relationship with my parents and cherish the time that I get to spend with them.  I truly believe that if my parents hadn’t taken a stand and put me into Insight, I wouldn’t be sitting here today with the remarkable life that I have.  Thanks Insight for saving my life and giving me a second chance!
