List what medications you are taking and why.
Describe your present situation – be as specific as possible.
Why do you want to be admitted to FIRST?
Discuss specific changes you want to make in your life.

What are your goals for recovery?
How will you contribute to the program and your fellow residents?

Minimum Length: 1000 words

Your personal autobiography should be at least 1000 to 1500 words in length, and should be typed in chronological order as to how and when the events occurred.

This autobiography is CONFIDENTIAL. At your request, it will be returned to you at time of discharge. This autobiography will help us determine if you are appropriate for our program and how we may best serve you.
