Glenn Walker bravely shares his struggles with addiction while championing the new opiate treatment program at the Lorain Correctional Institution.
Nick Stavros from CMS shared startling statistics - “97.5 % of drug users don’t seek treatment,” he said.
Annette Chambers-Smith is the director of ODRC and said having this program now is crucial in helping inmates beat their demons associated with drug use. “That means that our people are going to be experiencing the highest level of treatment that everyone that’s free gets,” she said.Everyone who is a part of its inception is hoping more people like Walker can start their path towards a new life.
“I don’t want to stay in the program forever but for now this is the only thing I’ve seen work for me since a kid,” Walker said.
