Free to recover

John* was recently released from prison and has started participating in one of our Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) programs. When John got his phone back upon his release, it was filled with contacts of old associates and reminders of a lifestyle he wanted to leave behind. We were able to sit down with him and set up a new Optus SIM card, ensuring that only the numbers of family, "safe" individuals, and new friends from his recovery program were saved in his phone. This means that John will no longer receive calls tempting him to return to his old habits, and he is now able to call his daughter anytime without the stress of unwanted contact. John* is nearing completion of the program and has also enrolled in a study.
Many thanks to Good360 and Optus.
