Carlos Barrantes, a patient of "Hogar Betel", a shelter for the rehabilitation of drug addicts and alcoholics, prays at the shelter in Pococi de Limon, east of San Jose July 5, 2012. The center reaches out to more than a thousand people addicted to drugs and alcohol each year, of which ten percent have been rehabilitated into society on their first attempt and a further ten percent on their second attempt after relapse, according to Joaquin Castillo who founded the shelter 22 years ago. About 30 drug addicts and alcoholics live in the shelter, each for a rehabilitation period of six months. Picture taken July 5, 2012. REUTERS/Juan Carlos Ulate (COSTA RICA - Tags: DRUGS SOCIETY)
