He’d been at Cenikor for six years, and now, he was trying to come up with a way to save the organization. With Luke Austin out, Ken Barun was helping run the Houston facility. But as Laura Starecheski, of our American Rehab team, tells us, things are about to get a lot more corporate at Cenikor, with a little help from friends in high places. And now, all of them were resorting to a diet of cornmeal mush and green jello just to survive. Some had been there for years, some were new, just starting to find a way out of addiction. And the 75 or so people living in Houston were struggling. Cenikor still had two facilities, its original headquarters in Colorado, and its newer operation in Houston, Texas. When we left off in the summer of 1978, Cenikor founder Luke Austin had been ousted after he siphoned off most of the organization’s money to support a life of luxury for himself.

Listen: The American Rehab podcast series.During a 1983 campaign stop, this boot-strapping rehab caught the attention of President Ronald Reagan, who gave Cenikor his blessing.Īnd later, when Reagan’s harsh drug enforcement policies filled jails and prisons with people who used drugs, a prison-to-rehab pipeline was born. Reporters Laura Starecheski and Shoshana Walter explain how Ken Barun, a former rehab participant, brought Cenikor back from the brink, with the help of NFL football pad inventor Byron Donzis.Ĭenikor’s rehab workers started manufacturing the football pads, for no pay, and eventually would supply every single team in the NFL. Founder Luke Austin had siphoned off almost all the program’s money, and participants were left eating cornmeal mush and green Jell-O to survive. In the late 1970s, the drug rehab Cenikor was down and out.
