Synon on - A History of Drug Addiction Recovery

In 1958, Charles Dederick incorporated his facility as a nonprofit. New members were asked to quit drugs cold turkey. As they got over being dope sick, they were gradually welcomed into the communal life of the club. There was hard labor, but there was also constant mutual support in group therapy. The game was played three times per week. Members were forbidden from any drugs save coffee and cigarettes, which were available in unlimited quantities at all times.
