Transitional living now available in Butte

Men seeking to recover from substance abuse now have an option that is close to home. 

The Butte SPIRIT (Silver Bow Persons Invested in Recovery and Inner Transformation) Center provides three to six months of a transitional living environment to help men, age 18 and up, make the move towards sober, independent living. 

“People struggle to understand what recovery looks like. You expect to go through a 28-day program and be healed. But treatment isn’t a ‘one and done’ thing; It means changing your whole life, developing coping skills. Transitional housing helps lengthen the supportive environment in which you can succeed with your recovery,” said Demetrius Fassas, executive director of the Butte SPIRIT Center.
