Getting a second chance; Florida program helps 7 men kick drug habitKissimmee resident Gabriel Hernandez is just now regaining the trust he once shared with his wife.
A victim of cocaine addiction who served nine months in the Osceola County, Florida Jail and who continually was booted out of a drug court program because of positive drug tests, Hernandez was given a second chance at health and happiness.
He’s one of seven men who graduated the first-ever Osceola County, Florida Inmate Resident Substance Abuse treatment program.
Before such a program was offered, inmates jailed on drug-related charges were often released back into the same environment that initially led to their incarceration. There was no county intervention or help available to prevent a return to ill habits.
But with the assistance of a $200,000 Florida Department of Law Enforcement grant the county recently received, those scenarios are headed for change.
“The trust my family put in me was very little because of the things that I did,” Hernandez said. “I wasn’t accepting that I had a problem.”
For the first time in a long while, Hernandez reported that his wife told him during a telephone call that she trusted him.
“I haven’t heard that word in a long time,” he said. “My heart was this big.”
Hernandez and six other men were recommended by the court system to enter the drug-treatment program at the Transition House in St. Cloud, Florida.
They all were referred by a judge under a mandate that will continue with new arrivals in recovery.
The inmates must enter a four-month program in jail before they enter the Transition House for another two to three months. The first graduated class began just after Labor Day.
“Many of them are people who failed in drug court and were recognized to need an intensified treatment,” said Tom Griffin, executive director of Transition House. It has locations in St. Cloud, Florida and Kissimmee, Florida.
Griffin, who partnered with the Osceola County, Florida Department of Corrections and the Orange-Osceola Circuit Court system, said he saw a need. Too many addicts were going through a “revolving door.” he said.
“They’ve got no place to go,” Griffin said. “No destination and no money in their pocket. They are going to resort back to old behavior which is socially unacceptable.”
The drug addiction has been merciless. Some have lost nearly everything from monetary possessions to self-worth.
A 53-year-old man who identified himself as Ron, of St. Cloud said he struggled through a 35-year drug addition, citing use of marijuana, cocaine and hallucinogens. His addiction began in the 1960s when drug experimenting was the trend, Ron said.
He later evolved into a functioning addict working in a sales position, watching his life fall apart.
“I lost my car, my wife, my self respect and my self-esteem,” Ron said. “I was actually addicted to drugs for 13,000 to 14,000 days.”
But when he first entered the program, he immediately found inspiration from a simple sign on the wall inside the treatment facility. It said, “Game over.”
“Now I feel good about myself,” he said. “I don’t have any desire to use. Game over.”
The program aligns itself with family therapy services, Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous and helps people in recovery find jobs.
Program participants must return to the house no later than 5 p.m. daily and cannot work on weekends or holidays to stay within set therapy schedules.
Together, the men lived under one roof in the St. Cloud, Florida location. While they admit there were some conflicting personalities, in the end they leaned on each other for support.
“We’re dealing with this together,” said 20-year-old Jose Fraguada of Kissimmee. “We’re not alone in this. We all have the same problem.”
Fraguada, who has been fighting a heroin addiction, had already served a three-year drug-related sentence when he was recently jailed again. He served four months behind bars before he joined the program.
“I feel blessed,” Fraguada said. “It has taught me a different way of handling my problem.”
Recovery addict, who identified himself as Robert of Kissimmee, agreed.
Battling a crack cocaine addiction, Robert said he was sober for nine months after serving a five-year drug possession sentence. But while on probation, he landed back in prison after being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
While he didn’t admit to being an alcoholic, through program sessions he has learned and accepted that alcohol was connected to his narcotics addiction.
“I don’t separate the two anymore,” he said.
Robert said he had also regained his sense of responsibility, noting that the money he earned in the past often went to buying drugs. With the help of the program, he’s now learning to manage his wages as an electrician.
“It wasn’t a skill I had before,” Robert said. “When a bill came in, it would go in the drawer and I would go out and use.”
A 21-year-old man who identified himself only as Josh, also in recovery, said his selling and using drugs had made him “a maniac”.
“If he had any money, it always revolved around drugs,” he said.
“I didn’t care about myself or others,” he said, noting that he abused cocaine, alcohol and prescription drugs over the last three years.
But he has since altered his lifestyle through the drug program and has landed a job as an assistant landscape foreman.
“It teaches us responsibility and to be self-supportive,” Josh said. “The madness is over.”
The group attended a graduation ceremony that featured with food, family and friends at the Fellowship House in Kissimmee, Florida.
After having left the facility, they must attend weekly follow-up visits.
“I see it as a continual process,” Ron said. “Once you find the formula for success, you repeat that formula.”
