Dustin calls his former life of addiction “one of despair.” He knew something needed to change, but didn’t think it was possible.
At Hope Mission, he began the recovery process by joining Breakout, Hope Mission’s year-long addiction recovery program for men. Each day he receives hot meals, safe shelter and compassionate care.
It made a huge difference.
