community outreach    "Addiction recovery is a gradual     process," says Debra Wallace of New     Beginnings in Thomasville, Georgia.     "It's not at all uncommon for people to     leave treatment and start using again.     And many also resume risky behaviors     like unprotected sex. So along with drug treatment programs, we target areas where drug use is common: the neighborhoods that clients return to when they leave treatment."                                        Read more
