Substance Abuse

  • Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abuse (TROSA) - a nonprofit organization in Durham, North Carolina. TROSA focuses on helping recovering drug and alcohol abusers to change their lives. Residents receive therapy, housing, food, and clothing for free during their stay. In exchange, these men and women must stay off drugs and alcohol and work in one of the businesses that TROSA operates. This work experience helps residents learn life skills and work skills that enable them to find jobs after they graduate from the two-year treatment program.
