ROCKING AND ROLLING INTO RECOVERY
Howk is sharing his story, not as a
personal complaint, but as way of shining a light on the issue of far too many
substance abuse in-patient facilities not having accessibility.
I went in 10-10-2020 for 28 days,” Howk said. “I went to an old building — a former retirement community built before the ADA.
It had some wide doorways – but some unbelievable angles to negotiate and some questionable decisions with overall design.
I made it work, they put me in the room they thought could work – but even that had two doors to get into bathroom and big lip on the bath.
“I wasn’t sure till I
brought my bags in and they took my phone and shoe laces away, was I certain
this would work for me.”
