STORY SLUGGED: ADDICTION-MEDICAL -- (April 12, 2006) Air Force veteran Carlos Canales, 48, in recovery for a decade, has benefited from the heightened sophistication of the rehabilitation program at Audie Murphy Hospital in San Antonio. During his first stay in the mid-1990s, he remembers a strong sense that people were simply "warehoused." Today, Canales said, "the caliber of care and the caliber of understanding of what it takes to care for people in this situation is greater." (Toby Jorrin/MCT)
