'This place saved my life.' A recovery choir helped these addicts turn their lives around

“As America confronts its crisis of opioid addiction and overdose deaths, a multitude of medical, psychological, spiritual and legal tools are being deployed. The music of a gospel choir may seem an unlikely vehicle for recovery. But ultimately, the struggle with addiction is individual and personal — engaged case by case, life by life. Among these singers, the soul-filling music has helped turn around once-hellish lives.“
