Client Story: Vincent

Substance use disorder has overshadowed much of Vincent’s life. To support his addiction, he sold drugs, then got caught, and went to prison. On parole, he feared relapsing into a cycle of addiction and incarceration. He found hope when a friend referred him to Project Renewal.

Today, Vincent’s therapy at The Recovery Center helps him stay away from his old habits and cope with post-traumatic stress that lingers from his time in prison. With newfound optimism, he enrolled in culinary school and hopes to work as a cook. “The Recovery Center gave me a golden opportunity and I’m going to take advantage of it,” he says.
