treatment program. today drug abuse counselor sam watson will honor his achievement with a special token. this coin is really a token of your ability to cope. it has no intrinsic value itself, but coping and completing this program in 90 days is a very difficult task. so the ability to get through it without getting written up and kicked out is important. i wish you all the best on your journey, and i hope that you put the same effort into discovery house that you did here. okay? thank you. thanks. you feel good to see somebody come in on day one and see the change in them. if we get too good at this, i ll be put out of a job, but that s okay. i ll find something else to do. prior to his release, he must complete one more task provide an orientation to the inmate who will take his spot in the drc, aaron sofield. grab two sets of blues and we ll change you up.
with a strict daily regimen that inmates must adhere to for 90 days or they re dropped. we have 50% rules in our facility. it s kind of funny. but if they don t have their keys on them or their locks on their lockers or if they leave the books out or chairs down, we want them focused, we want them thinking. we don t want them too comfortable. we want them always working on themselves. sofield, however, faces an additional challenge. i m 6 3 and my feet hit this thing when i try to sleep. you wake up every time you try to turn. it s freezing. i fall asleep and have drug dreams. that s just natural. if you re not having drug dreams, then you re not using drugs. sofield has battled addiction to heroin over the past several years and believes if he doesn t get clean this time, he ll lose the support of his family and everything else he values. mr. lopez, the co in charge of the program, i give him a lot of respect. he s put up with a lot of
