Bonus Series Part 2: TROSA - Reclaiming Lives Through Community

Send us Fan Mail

In Part Two of our series we meet two TROSA graduates, who have completed the two-year program treatment program. Dymont Spellman and Kristie Foy come from quite different backgrounds and found their way into addiction through different paths. Yet years later, when faced with the possibility of dying, they both chose to come to TROSA, where they discovered a community of people who'd beat their addiction and were now supporting others through their recovery.

We hear their stories and discover why Dymont and Kristie are so committed to the TROSA community. (TROSA stands for Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers.)
