It's said when an individual is rehabilitated from their addiction, some 50 people around them are positively affected.
For The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center program across the western U.S., that equates to some 50,000 people a year.
And more than only addressing issues of substance abuse, these centers offer life rehabilitation for those who need it, according to Major Mark Nelson, ARC Commander in the West.
It's a story that goes back to William Booth telling his son in Victorian England to "do something" to help the men living under the bridge.
Now, for more than 100 years, The Salvation Army has operated rehabilitation facilities across the U.S. that provide help and hope to those with a variety of problems, including issues relating to substance abuse. These residential programs offer spiritual, emotional and social assistance in an environment designed to help participants live healthy, fulfilling lives.
But it doesn't stop with them. That ripple effect is helping restore families.
