Managing Spending Patterns
Removing Temptations
One of the reasons this program seems to be working so well is that was designed by the very people it is supposed to help. If there is one thing addicts are adept at, it’s making sure they are able to maneuver their resources around so that they obtain their drug of choice. With this card, it makes accessing resources to obtain drugs or alcohol much more difficult. “We can’t obviously be foolproof, but we want to add another line of defense in the way of people being triggered to go out and relapse,” Eric Dresdale, a recovering addict and founding member of the “Next Step MasterCard Program” says. “The unfortunate thing with people in this community is, if they want to relapse, they’re going to find a way to relapse. What we’ve done with this product is make that much more difficult.”
