The mission of the Program is to rehabilitate individuals to become productive members of our community through clean and sober living. This program enhances public safety, decreases substance abuse, reunites families, reduces recidivism and ultimately saves tax dollars. It is a comprehensive program that is evidence-based and includes mandatory drug testing, involvement with the 12-step program, community service, and Court reviews every other week.

Participants must complete all four phases of a 14-month (or more) program to meet graduation criteria and are encouraged to participate in on-going recovery support after graduation.

Speaker on border patrol

At the Thursday, Sept. 26, meeting of Indivisible Warren, Ms. Patrice Swick of the Erie Diocesan office of Justice and Life gave a presentation about her experiences in May of 2019 at the Annunciation House facilities in El Paso, Tex., where many incoming asylum seekers are entering.

At the time, according to Swick, there were about 10 Annunciation House facilities taking in 800 to 1,000 people daily from detention centers and border patrol. Currently, about 100 to 200 come in daily.

The facility arranges temporary housing, gives clothing, food, hygiene products and helps with each family in contacting their sponsors. People stay at a local hotel for three to four days before transportation arrangements to a sponsor’s location.

Ms. Swick’s program gave the Indivisible audience clear and factual information on the realities of the border crisis. A question-and-answer session followed.
