History in the making. During the mid-1990’s, Wake County was struggling to address the problems surrounding nearly 2,000 homeless individuals, two-thirds of whom were identified as also having an alcohol or other drug problem. Because no shelters would serve individuals under the influence, this population was either sent to the emergency department or to jail. The County formed several committees to explore possible solutions and eventually recommended the creation of a non-medical detox, an emergency “wet” shelter and a longterm peer-run recovery program (based on a model found in Louisville, KY that was achieving significant results at a minimal cost). In 2001, Healing Transitions opened its men’s campus with 165 beds. Then in 2006, the women’s campus was opened with 88 beds. Since its inception, Healing Transitions has provided a better quality and more economical alternative to emergency departments, jails, first responders, and the streets. 4 HEALING-TRANSITIONS.ORG
