“After 7 treatment centers and over 10 years of drug addiction, I remained powerless to break my habit until I met Christ in jail. I was released to Damascus Way on the Work Release program and was able to find employment, housing and develop my support system. I’ve now been sober for over 2 years and have regained the trust of my family”
