Here’s how it worked for Stanley:

When Stanley came to The Shelter, Alyese Patterson, a talented, dedicated and compassionate Case Manager, introduced him to the professional team at Iron Recovery and Wellness Center, where he was assessed and prescribed suboxone to reduce his dependence on opioids. 

Stanley, who served in the military, had been sleeping in the passenger seat of a broken-down car before he knocked on The Shelter’s door.

He said, “Alyese was a godsend. She truly cared. And that floored me. She stayed with me the whole time. And assured me that everything would be fine. And it has been. Now, my desire to escape through drugs has gone away. I have a safe place to sleep, I get warm meals, and I have seen a doctor. She’s helped me apply for jobs, which I really want. And she helped me get my state identification, so I can eventually get housing” He paused, then added, “I finally like what I see in the mirror.”
