HEROIN ADDICT GOES FROM HOMELESS TO COLLEGE
Tara Moseley was in her early 20s, homeless and addicted to opioids for
nearly a year when she walked into The Healing Place in Louisville.
Her drinking had escalated after high school and she had stopped going to
class two weeks into college. A broken leg led to a five-month opioid
prescription and that led to a physical dependence on pain pills. When
pills became scarce on the street, she switched to heroin.
She needed a bed the day she showed up at The Healing Place and agreed to
go through detox. After that, when the staff suggested she try their
residential recovery program, she said yes.
