Overcoming Obstacles

Jane* first came to The Salvation Army Social Service Center 6 years ago after fighting a battle between addiction and sobriety for over 23 years.  Along with her addictions, Jane had been involved in numerous violent relationships and spent several nights in the hospital.  Two years ago her case manager from The Salvation Army referred her to an in-treatment drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility where she remained for several weeks.  After leaving the treatment program Jane successfully stayed sober for 2 years but unfortunately three weeks ago Jane came into shelter again after experiencing a relapse due to stress in her current relationship.  She is now attending an outpatient service program for drug and alcohol treatment, attending meetings, and is working full time.  Jane has already taken the first step to remaining safe and clean by coming into shelter.  She plans to maintain continuous contact with her case manager once she exits the facility.
