We help men with the almost stupefying array of problems they bring with them to treatment: legal troubles, medical troubles, dental troubles, employment troubles---it goes on and on, and yet these problems, so sharp-edged and painful upon admission to the program usually are resolved by the time a resident is ready for discharge, about six months later, or, in the case of the men in our transitional housing component (part of the same campus), about 18 months on average. We have grown to a total of 60 beds (up from 35 at the start), and we have gradually evolved a more structured and effective program, able to deal with the drug-du-jour as well as the tried-and-true. We were holistic before that became a buzzword, and we will be that way after it has gone to buzzword heaven.
