ganizations. With the Treasury Department's Crime Enforcement Divi-sion starting to close in, Christian takes on a legiti-mate client: a state-of-the-art robotics company where an accounting clerk has discovered a discrepan-cy involving millions of dollars

!!!ATTENTION!!! NOTICE FROM ADMINISTRATION

The Hepatitis-HIV-AIDS Awareness Program is a blood-borne pathogen peer-health-educator program that

sheet in your housing unit for more information.

PRICE INCREASE TOWARDS ENVELOPES

And here’s what another AIP member had to say: I owe my recovery to myself. I owe the motivation to see

my program through to my support network and my fellow peers. As an addict I was a social pariah, a user, a thief, a man without his family, and lost. Drugs destroyed my relationships and made me feel hopeless. When I got to Coffee Creek my DOC case man-ager spoke to me of drug treatment at Powder River. He was of-fering me a new chance at life.

AIP has helped me take a good look at the problems that I have created in my life; walls that I built, thinking errors that I was perfect, and lies that I perceived as truth. The program has provided me the skills and courage to overcome these obstacles that I have created and lived by. I encourage each of you to hold fast to your goals of sobriety and future success. With the help of the program you will overcome.
