I am the mother of Brady. From the bottom of my heart, first I truly want to thank you for allowing Brady to participate in ICAPP (In-Custody Alternative Placement) and for taking the time and resources to develop this program.

Brady's participation in the treatment program has changed his life. Brady is closing in on five months of sobriety. The first day that he walked into Island Grove Treatment Center, I knew he was going to give 100% by his demeanor, but he has overwhelmed me and his family more then we ever dreamed. All of the elements of the treatment program are making a success story, but the counseling has been beneficial and is the secret to his success. It helps getting counseling from someone other than a family member because the conversation sinks in.

Brady is taking his rehabilitation seriously and has made his entire family proud because he has turned his life around.

All of us at one time or another can say someone made a difference or a significant impact in our lives. Even though you don't know Brady on a personal level, this program has changed his life forever. I sincerely thank you because you are the ones who made a difference in changing a young man's destiny.

Brady is back on track and is an exceptional young man who is once again honest, trustworthy, dependable, and can make a positive contribution to our society.

I want you to be proud of your program because, in Brady's case, the treatment is working as it was designed.

Thank you -

Laura
