Addiction destroys our community and families. Louisiana overdose rate is 37% above the national average in the US. Many people are trapped in the cycle with little hope of recovery. However, many people do recover and are able to repair the damage done to themselves and their family. Day One Foundations' number one objective is to establish our club house/outreach center. Once established as our home base, we will continue to implement various programs to assist in the recovery of those afflicted with addiction​
