What We Do

Peer Support:

Your recovery journey is unique. At Hope, we walk alongside you, offering guidance and support without dictating your path. Our team can help you create a personalized recovery plan, connect with others who share your interests, and access resources like treatment information, health insurance, and housing. We also offer group coaching to help you build skills, stay motivated, and navigate challenges together. At Hope, you’ll find the community and support you need to thrive in recovery.

Peer-to-Peer Coaching
Our Peer Professionals offer personalized one-on-one guidance to individuals on their recovery journeys. This support is essential as we collaborate to set realistic goals, tackle obstacles, and connect members with necessary resources. Through this individualized approach, we ensure that each person receives tailored assistance to navigate their unique path to recovery.

Telephone Recovery Support
Staying connected is vital in recovery, even when you can’t make it to our center. Our Telephone Recovery Support (TRS) program provides a lifeline of support. Once a week, a friendly voice from Hope will check in on you, offer encouragement, and help you stay on track. We’ll celebrate your successes, offer support during challenging times, and connect you with resources if needed. With TRS, you’re never alone on your recovery journey.

Group Coaching
In our group coaching sessions, small groups of up to 12 members come together with a Peer Professional to delve into various wellness topics. Utilizing the SAMHSA framework (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), we address multiple aspects of well-being, providing a structured and comprehensive approach to support mental health and recovery. These group interactions foster shared learning and collective growth.

Pro-Social Activities
Hope offers a wide range of fun and engaging activities that foster social connection and enhance wellbeing. Our safe and welcoming environment help everyone feel accepted and valued. From chess club and Tai Chi to tea parties and yoga, our activities cater to a wide range of interests, promoting meaningful social interactions.

Community Wellness Clinic
The Laura Cooley Community Wellness Clinic provides a serene environment dedicated to holistic healing. Members can access complimentary services such as massage, Reiki, acupuncture, and aromatherapy. Offering these services typically not available to those in early recovery, our focus is on encouraging relaxation, self-care, and overall well-being, helping individuals achieve a balanced and rejuvenated state of health.

Arts

Art, music, writing, acting—these are some of the things that makes Hope Hope.

Many of us in recovery from drug or alcohol issues look back at our using days and see the talents, interests, and joys we shed in pursuing our substance of choice. Hope is about reclaiming those things we threw overboard from our sinking ships. Part of this reclamation is rediscovering the joys of childhood and becoming playful again. Here are some of the ways you can learn to express yourself and reclaim your life.

Art—When first-time visitors walk Hope’s halls or look into any of the rooms, they almost always comment on the paintings that cover the walls. More than 500 paintings, all made by Hope members, are hung with pride and joy throughout the center. Some of the art is truly stunning. Some are interesting. Some are simple. Every single work of art on our walls screams, “I am somebody and I was here.” Please, the next time you visit, grab a canvas, some brushes, and a variety of acrylic paints and make YOUR flag.

Music—With two pianos kept mostly in tune, a variety of stringed instruments, an electric keyboard, and various percussion instruments, Hope offers you a chance to improve your musical skills or just to find out what you’ve got hidden inside you.

Writing of all and any kind—Whether journaling, writing letters, composing poetry, or starting the Great American Novel inside you, Hope offers quiet space to write, along with staff and other members with whom to workshop your material.
