Individuals who come to DAPC, have many stories to tell; tragic childhoods, broken homes; abusive relationships. The choices these individuals make in addictive use, end up having painful, lifelong consequences.

Treatment for most DAPC clients is an opportunity to deal with the pain, shame and guilt from addictive use and to connect with a Higher Power who can help guide them towards a better life. Treatment for DAPC clients is a time of hope, renewal and recovery.

Until recently, the State of Washington provided 3 months rental assistance for eligible ADATSA graduates of DAPC. This gave graduates a chance to connect with: Outpatient Treatment; support in 12 Step groups; employment and time to get back on their feet. Recent State-wide drastic budget cuts have terminated this help.

The challenges for a newly clean addict to remain drug-free are great. Couple those challenges with the grim facts of having no community support; resources or place to lay their head and you can understand how difficult recovery can be.

Every day in the Longview/Kelso area there are people who desperately want to change their lives, who need our help to move into clean and sober Oxford Housing. Without our help, there no funds for deposits; or first months rent.

Someone’s child, brother, or sister, needs your help. Won’t you be the one to give a hand up, not a hand out? Together with DAPC you can make a difference. One life at a time. Become a sponsor today.
