J.W. was a 20-year-old gambler and a recovering heroin addict when he arrived at WW. During his stay, he overcame his gambling compulsion, but he still needed to work on his drug problem. When he left, he kept in touch with Williamsville’s executive director to discuss his problems and worked on his drug rehabilitation. Today, he is living in a halfway house and is drug-free.

J.T. was a sports star at a Division 1 college when his drinking first sabotaged him. When he lost his scholarship, he became a binge drinker and prone to blackouts. His estranged father, a recovering alcoholic, re-established ties with J.T. and connected him with Williamsville Wellness. They now go to AA meetings every Sunday and enjoy a strong bond.

Dear Mr. Cabaniss, first of all, I would like to thank you once more for everything you have done for my family. The program that has changed my mother’s life is one of a kind and you have done a great job with the success of your patients and their families. So, thank you again for helping my family through such a difficult time. It was a pleasure to meet you when I was there and all the counselors you have hired for the Wellness Center were very impressive.
