Client Success

A Story of Resolve

Mr. Richard Ross was referred to PACE to receive substance abuse assistance. Mr. Ross was very quiet and felt he could not trust anybody when he first enrolled here at PACE. At first, he argued he did not have a problem and believed he had everything under control. Once he spoke to his case manager, however, he started opening up about his substance abuse addiction. After several visits with his case manager, Mr. Ross admitted to have an addition, and his case manager immediately enrolled him in INATR to help him deal with his substance abuse problem.

Mr. Ross was referred to Salvation Army Harbor Light for in patient counseling, and he continued to keep his PACE case manager informed of everything that he did. After several weeks of sobriety, Mr. Ross was approached by his case manager and encouraged to start working on his resume, he was assisted in this process with the goal in mind to help him find employment.

He was very anxious to learn more and was ready to start his life free from addiction. The case manager assisted him with Goodwill vouchers to secure interviewing clothing as well as everyday clothing. After several months, Mr. Ross decided to go back to school and continue his education to further his opportunities in landing his dream job. On February 2012, Mr. Ross was enrolled in IVY Tech, and he is now a full time student receiving nothing but A's and B's! Mr. Ross continues to keep his recovery as his number one goal.

We all at PACE wish him nothing but success and will do our job to help him achieve it! Congratulations, Richard, you are way on your way to success!!!
