From the Streets to College

It is remarkable how much better Julie is now that she is in Off the Streets^SM.  She learned about the program from a friend, who was also in the program. Julie has been using drugs for the last eight years, but in the beginning, she was able to maintain herself enough to be in school and get married. But when her husband died, she turned to drugs to cope and her life spiraled down.

Today, at 29, Julie says that she is finally comfortable being alone. She just started a new job as a server in a restaurant, and she has signed up for classes in the fall so that she can finish her Bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Addiction Studies. She wants to work to help others quit using drugs too, preferably in a large city.

Thank you all for giving Julie a chance to turn her life around.
