"We want to meet the community where they are and provide what they need, desperately, to care for themselves and their families," said Aileen Bryant Wales, founder and president of Ladies of Promise. "We want to offer options previously out of reach, unattainable or unknown to the west end community. ... An undeserved stigma ends today."
Ladies of Promise currently operates a drug treatment and recovery facility on West Market Street.
