Well within the past year we've expanded our facilities so we have more space for people who need our services: drug addicts and character-disordered people. We just have more space. How much more space? What numbers are we talking about? Well we can take in 300

00:00:28.650 - 00:00:50.390

drug addicts from the Bay Area within the next 60 days. With no trouble. When you talk about drug addicts, who are you talking about? What kinds of addictions? Well just about opiate addiction, heroin, methadone, goofballs, barbiturates, speed, alcoholism, everything. People act out their difficulties chemically or

00:00:50.390 - 00:01:12.690

criminally. And we're set up to help these, to help troubled people. How do you go about, what's the method you use? Well the method is to set up an environment that enables people to negotiate successfully with life without the aid of chemical supports. So then treating heroin you don't use methadone?

00:01:12.690 - 00:01:28.320

don't use. No we don't use any chemical that affects the psyche. And we feel that it must be a total abstinence from any kind of acting out in a chemical way. Once the word gets out, how long do you think it'll take

00:01:28.330 - 00:01:45.020

before you get the 300 people you're looking for? Well, just recently in New York we made this announcement and we received 100 New York drug addicts in 15 days. And so I expect that we're going to be overloaded and anybody, any person in trouble just has

00:01:45.020 - 00:01:50.000

to call up our San Francisco facility or our Oakland facility and he can get help.
