Details: Clean & Sober Streets Celebrates its 26th Year of offering long term residential drug and alcohol treatment and rehabilitation services for men and women who are willing to recover in Washington, DC. C&SS graduated its first phase in January, 1988. Using the 12-Step philosophy, the program survives and thrives due to community support from concerned organizations and individuals seeking to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. Our alcohol/drug free setting encompasses much more than just the absence of alcohol and other drugs. It promotes the attitude that a joyful and productive life is possible without alcohol or mood-altering drugs. Since many addicts cannot conceive of a life without drugs, the demonstration of an alcohol/drug-free life is critical. The men and women who come to Clean & Sober Streets for help have a variety of backgrounds. Many have long histories of substance abuse, homelessness and/or incarceration. They come to us with medical problems and legal conflicts. Some have little education or marketable skills. We remain successful with chronic drug and alcohol abusers due to their willingness to make a change from unhealthy lifestyles which may have included the pain of incarceration, of living in the streets, and of being alienated from family and friends. C&SS demonstrates a chemical-free philosophy through the living examples of our residents. The evidence is seen every day in the successful lives of people living alcohol and drug-free
