We Can began in August 1997 when the founder, Israel Cason, banded together with a few buddies to help one another. People were getting clean, but they weren't staying clean. They got detox, but not the strength and tools to stay away from the life they'd always known. If you leave that out, the behavior can't change. In just 16 months, the one house grew to a bustling seven, all of them self-supporting.
Acupuncture is mandatory.
We Can are separate yet symbiotic. We make sure that Thanksgiving and Christmas happen. I Can't We Can in touch with a contractor friend who gives the program leftover lumber for rehabbing houses. The natural self-healing powers of the human body, mind, and spirit will be unleashed, and patients will flourish. Trash blows on the street, and the stained glass of a nearby church hangs in jagged shards.
