A Letter of Support from Hamilton County Sheriff Douglas G. Carter:
January 1, 2009
To whom it may concern:
Please consider this a letter of high recommendation for Pathway Family Center. As Sheriff of Hamilton County for the past 6 years, I have been actively involved in raising awareness to parents and to teens about the ever growing problem of adolescent drug and alcohol abuse.
In the years that I’ve known Pathway Family Center, I was pleasantly surprised to find that their program goes way above and beyond typical teen treatment, which usually involves a stay for only as long as insurance provides (which is very little, if any time). Rather, Pathway treats teens who are harmfully involved with illegal substance in their long-term program for as long as it takes, before gradually reintroducing them back into society. Their model also includes requiring the family to participate in treatment throughout the entire program, which is a rarity but a critically important component. This program works and I have seen its success over and over again.
Addiction affects everyone. Taxpayers pay for teens to revolve in and out of the system with little hope for change. Crime, due to substance abuse, is on the rise. If programs such as Pathway exist, society will benefit. But without funding, Pathway and other non-profit treatment centers cannot survive. They need your help.
I stand behind the program and staff of Pathway Family Center and I hope that you will consider sponsoring this life changing process
Sincerely,
Douglas G. Carter, Sheriff
Hamilton County, Indiana
