In San Francisco, the escalating number of overdose deaths has led to a debate over the best approach to support those struggling with addiction. Claudia Gonzales, a former addict now residing in a sober housing facility operated by the Salvation Army, shares her personal journey of recovery. With the help of structured programs that include drug treatment and job training, Gonzales emphasizes the importance of accountability in maintaining her sobriety. The Way Out program further demonstrates success in achieving sobriety and employment for all its graduates this fiscal year.
The program, called The Way Out, boasts a 100% success rate for its 2023-24 fiscal year: every graduate was sober, employed, and housed one year after completion.
I was able to find a job. We get more freedom, but we're also held accountable here. And I feel like that's what keeps me sober.
