I woke up out of a blackout at COPAC. The people were so caring, but did not tolerate any of my B.S. I’m alive and happy and all the promises have come true for me. COPAC is a huge part of my story-part of the solution for me.

I had always heard COPAC was a “boot camp” in Mississippi. Far from the truth-it’s a fantastic surprise when you actually get there. COPAC saved my life and actually gave me a life.

In February of 2008 I actually thought I would be planning a funeral for my daughter in the VERY near future. My life seemed to be spiraling out of control due to her drug and alcohol abuse. It was just completely out of my hands and I felt hopeless. Our doctor gave us the name of the ONLY place he recommended, that being COPAC. When I first called I couldn’t see how I could put my beloved daughter in a place that didn’t even have a pool, etc. Some how they convinced me to see the light, maybe just out of pure desperation. Whatever gift it was, I can only say today she is the daughter I always wanted. She has been working now for more then a year and attending meetings weekly. She also attends COPAC’s after care. I am proud to say she is my child. All of this is due to the amazing work that the counselors at COPAC instilled in her. The loving girl I once knew is back. Now I wake up each day and Thank GOD for giving me COPAC and sending us to MS on that very bleak day in February.
Your Faithful admirer,
Nancy.

Tom M
I was a habitual “relapser”. My therapist had recommended COPAC before, but I had heard it was a boot camp and I did not think someone of my age would benefit. I was wrong. The campus atmosphere was great, the daily Big Book studies, the morning meditation, grocery shopping, cooking, early, early meditations on the patio. I don’t know, but a full moon always seemed brighter and closer. Maybe that was because no city lights of high building obscured the view, or maybe I was seeing the moon with a clearer pair of eyes. Thank you for letting me share my experience, strength and hope. Today, I am 14 months sober. I am sober one day at a time.

Trey W
COPAC not only saved my life but it changed my life. I was lost in drug addiction and alcoholism before coming to COPAC. COPAC gave me the tools I needed to not only stop my addictions, but also laid out a plan for how to live again. Through constant contact with counselors, staff, and other patients I learned the fundamentals on how to use the support system I had and relearned basic life skills to be able to restructure a life worth living.
