The profile of people entering the Drug and Alcohol Program is largely people who have a chemical dependecy problem, and demonstrate a need for a more structured clean and sober living environment. People fitting this criterion are required to enter our 90 day 12-Step Based program.

In addition to chemical dependency, common challenges facing these people include lack of knowledge as to where and how to obtain needed social services, poor or non-existent credit histories, and, in many cases, prior criminal records. Historically, these challenges have often stood in the way of these people breaking out of the "revolving door syndrome," causing them to return to their old neighborhoods and chemical dependency habits.

Through our program, these people are put in contact with the social service support they need, while being able to search for employment with diginity, knowing they have a roof over their heads and a clean and sober place to live. Assistance is given to them in finding a job and helping them move to permanent housing upon graduation through our Rental Repair Program.
