Reporter James Foley recently looked at an addiction recovery coach in Humboldt Park who had to overcome substance troubles of his own:
Lucien Izraylov has lived a hard life for a guy under 30. He has bounced in and out of recovery programs, done almost as many stints in jail and overdosed twice....
Today, Izraylov runs three houses in Chicago dedicated to helping ex-addicts stay clean in a sober-living environment, and his plan is to one day help others like him own and operate their own sober-living homes.
Clients sign a contract and pay $135 a week to sleep on one of his 41 beds. According to some of Foley's interviews, these homes sound like quite a step up from your average detox center. One guy compares them to Disneyland.
Anyone have any experience with these sorts of programs in Chicago?
