June 25, 2026 – Esperanza’s Homes for Heroes Substance Use Program has been up and running for nearly a year and is already helping dozens of veterans recover in the community. The program is reaching veterans like Tyrone Askins, who began self-medicating with drugs and alcohol to cope with PTSD after leaving the military. Bryan Hamilton, a peer support specialist with the Esperanza Substance Use Program, has seen firsthand how addiction has affected the veteran community in Tucson. That experience inspired him to help create the program.
