you have to be there for that person

“It’s not enough just to send someone to detox – you have to be there for that person,” Baker said. “Because a lot of people on Mass. and Cass are alone. They don’t have anyone, and so they leave detox and go straight back to the streets. But if you have even one person there to support you and push you, like they did with me, then you can get your life back on track.”
