People in Progress: Creating Self-Reliance, Building Addiction Free Lives
March 29, 2011 Leave a comment
People in Progress has given intervention support and substance-abuse support to families and individuals in crisis targeting those who need help in their struggle with substance abuse, economic deprivation, hunger and homelessness. People in Progress believes that this helps people to create self-reliance and to build addiction-free lives.
Serving over 25,000 people per year, P.I.P. works to transition people back into the community and transform them into productive pieces of society. People in Progress gives people the resources they need toward self-sufficiency.
Services to Counter Addiction
From medical and dental services to housing and legal services, People in Progress collaborates with a lot of local service providers in order to give comprehensive services to clients. Employment, youth tutoring and art, recovery, immigration, and other services are also included in the program.
Their drug and alcohol treatment services give services to the population that needs it the most: the homeless population of Los Angeles. They suffer from alcohol and drug dependency as well as mental and physical disabilities. The homeless population struggles with drugs and alcohol proportionately more than any other demographic.
