step 13 history

In 1983 our capacity was thirteen people. Today we have a capacity for one hundred-forty people and average ninety people year to year. Since our beginning, we have served over four thousand people. We average fifteen requests per week to enter step 13. Of the fifteen requests, ten will show up and enter the program. Of the ten, six will leave within thirty days for reasons of their own or breaking program rules, failed urine screens, curfew violations or general rule violations. The remaining four will stay from one to three years and complete the program. In 1998, forty people were in the program from six months to two years. The remaining people had been at step 13 from two to six months. We average one hundred residents from year to year.
