Vol. 1 - June 2014
Message from the CEO
I am thrilled to be kicking off a revised DP News with the goal of bringing you relevant and up-to-date information on topics that are meaningful to you and the mission of De Paul to create freedom from addiction.  I’ve been on board for about six months now and couldn’t be more energized and enthusiastic about the work happening here.  De Paul Treatment Centers is dedicated to being the region’s authority on substance abuse prevention and treatment for youth and adults. We will achieve that vision by deploying the best practices in the field delivered by clinical professionals and a dedicated team. I invite your thoughts and feedback as we work to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals, families and the community.  Thank you for your partnership and support.

Alumni Spotlight
I have been working at De Paul for over 2 years now. I recently got my certification for Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) and became a Certified Recovery Mentor (CRM). It's great being able to work with men on a daily basis and see their development in a positive manner. De Paul continues to show me that positive choices will bring positive results.
