Christina/ Adrian

Two separate interviews conducted at the MSIR in June 2022

Christina has dreams of studying one day. She sees the community at the MSIR, fellow clients and the workers, as family.

Adrian works in construction. He’s cut back on his heroin use, but it's a secret from his family he remains deeply conflicted about.

Content Advice: explicit language, descriptions of drug use
