É Sylvester Outley knows the harsh realities of drug addiction and street life, but he also understands the power of transformation. Once one of the ten most wanted criminals in Texas, Outley, a 1969 Goshen College graduate now is founder and director of SELF Inc., one of the largest drug rehabilitation programs in Philadelphia, Pa.

Outley, along with Ed Î57 and Theo Hartzler Yoder Î58 of Archbold, Ohio, and Kathleen Zehr Î40 of Lowville, N.Y., will receive Goshen CollegeÎs most prestigious alumni award Ë the Culture for Service Award, named after the collegeÎs motto Ë during Alumni Weekend Oct. 4-6.

Outley will talk to students and the public in a convocation at 10 a.m. Oct. 4 in the collegeÎs Church-Chapel; his speech is titled øFaith Works.Ó During the convocation, two Goshen College students will receive Barnabas Servant Leadership Awards for their on- and off-campus service to others.

By age 30, Outley had been arrested 86 times for drug involvement and swindling, and was eventually sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in 1955 Ë years of paradox which he later said were dehumanizing, yet gave him self-understanding, allowing him to transcend drugs and gain meaning in life.

He earned his G.E.D. and graduated from Goshen with a social work major. He earned masterÎs and doctorate degrees before founding the Socio-Emotional Learning and Family Center in Chester County, Pa., a therapeutic residential program for criminals, as well as Outley Professional Services, an outpatient drug and alcohol facility in Philadelphia, which became SELF.

SELF now has a $4 million annual budget, encompassing emergency shelters, peer outreach, transitional housing and community revitalization programs. More than just sobriety training, SELF teaches that addicts must use the basic life principles of love, respect, truth, honesty, care, compassion and forgiveness to rebuild individual lives.

OutleyÎs work in transforming the cityÎs shelters from havens for addiction and crime into bases for recovery and wellness has become the model for PhiladelphiaÎs entire shelter system. And SELF continues to allow people to realize their full potential as øhumans made in GodÎs imageÓ by rebuilding their lives Ë one at a time

long term effects of cocaine use

jen3493 asked:

Ok I was a pretty good soldier. I was respectfully and all the other hooah bs. I unfortunately got caught up with the wrong crowd and CID called me in and asked me have I used any drugs in the army? I thought I would be honest which is one of the 7 army core values and I said I did. I told them I used cocaine big mistake but I havent done it since then. My old unit was crazy about drug tests and I took 14 within my first 5 months of being there. I was never told I pissed hot and CID told me I never pissed hot or I would have a flag by my name which I didnt. I ended up getting kicked out for drug abuse but I never pissed hot. So if I say I killed 20 people are they going to arrest me for murder or something? I was never offered the drug rehabilitation program and even though I was getting kicked out I was still worked my ass off! I tried to reenlist but the army recruiter told me to get it waived since there is no record of me pissing hot how would I go about getting my code 4 waived

Here’s a little background: my mother in law is 42 and has been married four times. Twice to the same man. There are three grown children from the first marriage and one nine yeah old child from the second. She was living with the man she has been divorced from twice. He got deployed and left her there. Since he has left things have gotten crazy. She has slept with several other guys–she does nothing to hide it and even has mentioned it in front of several people. She’s addicted to pain pills and smokes weed regularly. On top of that she has been drinking-not just drinking, but getting drunk every other night. Anyone is allowed to watch her son–if she bothers to get a babysitter; lately she’s been leaving him at home by himself all night. Last time she watched my two year old I caught her drinking at a bar while my daughter was being watched by a 13 year old girl I didn’t know. She’s never been a wonderful role model or anything but it’s been over the top lately. She is no longer allowed to keep my daughter unsupervised. Her boyfriend–or ex-ex-husband –sent me a message on Myspace saying he wanted to talk to me and it was important. I know it’s about her. I don’t care for this woman at all; there are other examples of her behavior I don’t care to list even if it is anonymously online. When he asks me what’s been going on should I lie to him? Personally I think she is an unfit mother and her child should be taken away from her while she is sent to a drug rehabilitation center. She is living in his house, doing drugs, partying, having men sleep over. My husband thinks it would be wrong for me to lie. But should I be the one to tell him? What should I say?
Can a report to DFAS be anonymous? Honestly I want to do something but I don’t understand why none of HER family will step in.. my husband, his sister, his dad, friends…

Cameron P asked:

I would love to become a counselor. I would like to work with just about anyone, but mostly in the drug rehabilitation area. I have an associates degree and am now working on a bachelors. My major is Psychology. My question is, did I pick the right major and can I counsel one on one with just a bachelors? I have done a lot of reading on this and I have read and been told so many different things that I am confused. I am considering taking a minor in Social Work. Will that benefit me any? I need to get my degree as fast and cheap as possible (I have to pay out of pocket) so keep that in mind when answering. I also live in Illinois if that makes a difference. Thanks!

KingsPark Compehensive School wishes to sell a disused building on the edge of its site. The local authority has offered £10,000 for the building which it intends to convert into a Drug Rehabilitation Centre with a small medical team, counsellors, social workers and a needle exchange programme.

I, as the Local Resident, is against this proposal,
So How can i object my Council Tax money being spent in this way???
Or, How can i argue with not to sell the building, or make a better use…like…..

Thank you

drug rehabilitation programs

Karla R asked:

I got an underage drinking citation a few months ago (I am 19.) And the drug rehabilitation officer ordered me 24 hours comm service, a $175 fine, and that I take two alcohol classes.

I didn’t do anything because I was living away from my parent’s at the time, living from paycheck to paycheck struggling to make rent. All of my money went to rent. With no cell phone, no car. (Heh it was pretty rough.)

Now I’m back at home, and I’d been trying to call the woman who was trying to set everything up for me, but we constantly kept missing each other’s calls. So I was supposed to have everything done on the 20th, today is the 16th. They’re going to send me a new court date.

I’m planning on meeting up with her this week to get some things scheduled. But when I get the new court date, do you think I’ll get jail time? And if so, for how long?

“The storybook world was shocked today when the Big Bad Wolf was sentenced only to drug rehabilitation and not prison time. The other characters, especially the three little pigs, were outraged. “That guy tries to kill us and eat us alive and all he gets is 30 days with Lindsay Lohan? C’mon – that’s a bunch of crap” said one of the pig siblings.

“Mr. Wolf’s defense attorney summarized the court’s position on the sentencing. “It’s all there in black and white. Mr. Wolf was huffing, puffing, and doing blow. He got the munchies. He likes pork rinds. His behavior is not necessarily due to an evil carnivorous nature; rather, his judgment was impaired by the drugs.”

OK, it’s stoopid, but it sounded funny in my head.
