Below are some Client Comments:

	TH literally saved and changed my life. I will forever be grateful to them. I pray daily that funding will keep coming for TH, because there are many people like me who can change their lives by going through this program.
	Transition House saved me from myself - it is a much needed program there needs to be more programs like this one
	I love it here. If it wasn't for here I would probably go back to drinking and succeed in killing myself. They are willing to help you with all of your problems.
	The fundamentals taught at TH & what I took away have been essential for my recovery. In the intervening years I have continued to build on those fundamentals. It is a life-long process, but it started there and for that I am grateful.
	I just got a new job with the ODMHSAS, because TH taught me resume and interview skills.
	...living in my car as a street junkie to a productive member of society that enjoys living today
	I have gone to Transition House Outreach for 21 years.
	Interacting with my peers and other people having fun is no problem any more
	See and interact w/family often, play guitar and draw & paint (avocations more than hobbies) all of which is infinitely enjoyable, have managed to stay out of the bars & drug places.
	I don't think the hospital helped me near as much on teaching me to live with my mental problems and survive in this world. I now have all kind of support.
