SAN FRANCISCO -- As San Francisco tries to take better control over its drug crisis one group in particular is vying to become a greater part of the relief effort. That group now includes someone who has spent years trying to help people with a problem he himself faced in the past..
Adami's new job is filling the empty beds at the Salvation Army's on-demand detox and residential treatment program. "It was that time. I just woke up one day. It was kind of like a spiritual awakening and I just can't do it any more. I got tired of being tired," Brathwait said."It doesn't work for everybody. I believe, what helped me, you have to want it and I don't think you know what I've been through this before but I was doing it for the wrong reason. I was doing it for somebody else.
"So we are looking at the third-floor wing that, come January, will be completely remodeled," the Salvation Army's Destiny Pletsch said of the expansion plans."One hundred six people in recovery rebuilding their lives and restoring hope to others," Pletsch said.
