Keith Hayes knows what it's like to struggle with substance abuse.  “I started to experiment with alcohol and other drugs, and my life started to become unmanageable," he said. "Before I knew it, I started showing up in places like jails, hospitals and institutions, and I realized that, you know, I had totally lost the power of choice and control.”  Hayes turned his life around and is now the director of recovery at 5280 High School.
