Jackson

Jackson, who at the young age of 16, had a serious history of drug dependence and use. His peer group consisted of other drug users and he made average grades in school. During the summer of 2004, he was hospitalized following an alcohol blackout.

Jackson was referred to the Cannibus Youth Treatment (CYT) which provided him useful information, and he enjoyed attending. Although he continues to receive Acudetox treatments at LPH, he has been clean and sober since September, 2004. He joined a local church and is active in the youth program and is teaching himself to play the guitar. He has a new peer group and is making decisions that help him avoid situations that might include drugs. Jackson's grades have improved to the point that he is planning to attend Texas A & M University to major in Engineering. He spends more quality time with his family and appears to like the changes in his lifestyle.
