ROCKING AND ROLLING INTO RECOVERY
The guitar riff power behind Portugal.
The Man’s huge hits, “Feel It Still,” and “Live in the Moment,” was used to
traveling in cramped vehicles, maneuvering through tight spaces and finding
most rock clubs do not have wheelchair lifts or ramps to the stage.
But when it came time to getting clean and sober, he wanted to stay at a facility that had wheelchair access in the sleeping quarters, bath, dining hall, grounds, therapy session and more.
It’s a pretty simple request in the 21st century, but Howk kept striking out when he searched for an in-patient treatment facility with even the most basic of access.
And the band is now based in Portland, not some isolated
one-horse town with only one tiny substance facility available.
