Managed Alochol Program Being Explored

Local agencies are getting the low down about a new initiative to help people who live on the street.

Patty Hajdu from Shelter House in Thunder Bay has been explaining how their managed alcohol program works.

She says they have been operating a pilot project for the past six months with very good results.

Hajdu says people who enter their managed alcohol program are offered regular doses of wine every day and it works much like a methadone program for drug addicts.
