    I work in addiction recovery. Today, a formerly homeless drug addict enthusiastically told me about his great experience at Talbot House. He spoke in great detail about the kindness of the staff, the jobs, and the way the whole system works. He was thrilled about the dentures and medical care he got. He has relapsed and told me cannot wait to get back to Talbot House again so he get back on his feet. Then he’ll join us at our sober living ministry in Vero Beach.
