Program Curriculum
The primary goal of the program is to help adult addicts acquire skills necessary to maintain sobriety while being productive members of the community. The program provides clients experiential learning, teaching them how to control impulses and addictive behaviors. All clients must participate in the program structure. Clients move through a hierarchy of in-house responsibilities designed to teach living skills for themselves and their peers. Client privileges are linked to showing great effort and taking on more personal responsibility.
Hope House offers 30, 60, and 90 day treatment. Hope House also provides clients aftercare, helping them continue their recovery. We work with each client to meet his/her specific treatment plan goals. A treatment packet is given to each client at intake. During the prescreening interview, we thoroughly assess clients to ensure that our program setting is appropriate for them. Hope House keeps clients focused with a full weekly schedule. Our goal is to maintain program services at a current level. This includes the following:
- Providing individual therapy to all Hope House clients once weekly
- Providing small clinical groups weekly
- Providing outpatient services including family therapy, group therapy and individual therapy as needed
- Providing weekly graduate support group
- Providing a minimum of 13 hours of educational groups a week. Groups include: Adult Children of Alcoholics, Relapse Prevention Group,Self-Esteem, and Life Skills.
- Providing a minimum of 7 clinical groups per week. Groups include: Seeking Safety, Thinking For Change, Men/Women’s Group, Anger Management, Things Left Unsaid, Devil’s Advocate, Empty Chair, Dasein, Family Sculpture, Group Rap, How I See You and Wounded Child

During the week, clients participate in a variety of group activities. Program staff runs therapy groups throughout the day. In group activities, clients learn to explore and communicate their feelings, understand their addiction and understand the relapse process, and learn to take responsibility for their actions. Drug and Alcohol Counselors run weekly education groups teaching clients specific skills necessary for recovery and for participation in the community. The following is a brief list of educational and therapy groups.
