Rocky Hancock: From Opioid Addiction to Hopeful Recovery
“This program taught me how to hold myself accountable... That's why I like Odyssey House, because the staff members have been through addiction, you know, right, it's just easier for me to listen to somebody that's been there, you know, than somebody that hasn't.”
