Centro de Rehabilitación de Drogadependiente "Escuela de Vida" has its offices in the center of Lima, and two treatment facilities in the outskirts of the capital, through which it provides assistance to 65 men aged 18 to 55. While the men are in treatment, their families are allowed to visit them once a month. However a large part of the success of this institution relies on mandatory family commitment in attending weekly therapy sessions in the downtown office. There is also a drug prevention work done with the other family members, as well as a program raising emotional awareness to facilitate acceptance of the resident back into the family.
Escuela de Vida runs on a very tight budget, and relies on donations for any improvement of its facilities. A brief analysis lead to the conclusion that the facility needs to welcome 75 persons in order to become financial independent. It currently welcomes 55 men. The expansion requires an investment of US$ 35,000.
