I am blessed to have been a member of the program. CooperRiis takes a holistic approach to treatment, and meaningful work plays a significant role in their method. But there is such amazing potential in recovery for people suffering from severe illness. Bipolar has not gone away for me; it never will. I am in the maintenance phase of recovery. I have returned to college, and I know I will accomplish many great things in my lifetime. But most importantly, I am happy and healthy. I would not be where I am right now if it was not for CooperRiis, " Corey, age 25, male.
