Shortly after a controlled distribution centre was opened in Bern, Evelyn G. was one of the first to join the heroin programme. She pulled herself together, moved into a co-op residence and worked in various sheltered projects. Two years later she got an apartment of her own. Her work situation has stabilised and Evelyn has been an employee at a Bern cooperative restaurant for a number of years. Swissinfo visited Evelyn at work. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch)
