WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1 a, 1971 Ex-Addicts Face Challenge of a New Life By DORIS KULMAN Dec. 6 was a red letter day in the. life of 28-year-old Domin- ick Vincelli of long Branch. That's the day he went home to his wife and two children "for good." Mr. Vincelli left home 14& months ago, a jail sentence over his head an an $80-a-day heroin habit on his back. He en- tered Discovery House, the addict rehabilitation center on the Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital grounds, to begin the tough struggle to make himself a free man. Two months ago, he began "re-entry," that phase of Dis- covery House therapy designed to ease the ex-addict's way back into society. For Mr. Vincelli, who had been what he calls "a drug fiend" for 10 years, that means working in the Discovery House outreach center in Long Branch. At first, he continued living in the house, with an occasional visit home. Last week's permission to live at home nurtures his hope that he soon will be a Discovery House "graduate." He now gets a $27-a-week token salary and expects a full- time job with Discovery House when he graduates. The pro- gram has a limited number of staff jobs for ex-addicts. "Then I will be making enough to support my family and my wife can get off welfare," he says. (Most graduates want to remain with Discovery House as staff members for a while "and I think that's good for suppor- tive reasons," Edward Makuta, director of the re-entry pro- gram, says, "Hopefully, they pick up schooling at the same time.|Then they'll go on to something else.") Mr. Vincelli is ending his Discovery House residence with a new set of values and a new career goal.
