March 9, 2024 – “The gentleman that I work with are living examples that there is life after addiction,” said Intake Coordinator Derek Dare. “It’s just nice to see the family and motivations that’s allowed them to get to where they’re at. We couldn’t be more proud of the graduates that we have here.”

It got to the point I lost my job. Next thing you know, I’m at that corner gas station begging people for money,” said resident Alberto Trujillo. “I look at this as an opportunity for a new life. What I’ve done in my past doesn’t matter anymore. It’s what I’m doing now.”
