Another Nome sober shelter shuts

from the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
Our own Kusqi shut down last month. It was supposed to be sober housing for women and their kids while she received outpatient treatment.
Except, guess what? Some of them drank.
Once again, drinking shits on everything.
It's not terribly uncommon: drinkers come to Nome, which overflows with booze. They bring their kids, drops them off, and party.
And then what? What to do if they show up drunk? And not just drunk, but DRUNK. What then? You have her kids. She's screaming at you, pounding on the door. The kids are up, crying.
In Nome, you have two options. One, call the police and file a complaint, and, if they aren't neck-deep with some other drunks, they might come and take her away to jail for a 24 hour Title 47 hold. Option two is to let her in.
