The counselor always knew when I was conning her and was always willing to go the extra mile. The program was very personalized. It felt like a home.

Substance Abuse Treatment Admissions

Hope House's substance abuse treatment programs are designed to help adult men and women who have completed a chemical dependency or drug and alcohol treatment program, but need assistance transitioning back to everyday life. Acceptance criteria for Hope House are the same for everyone without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, or ability. However, Hope House is not for people in need of emergency medical care or for those who are likely to harm themselves or others.

Whenever possible, arrangements for admission should be made in advance by contacting Hope House. A potential client may call us directly or a physician, family member, friend or substance abuse counselor may make the first contact. When we cannot accept an applicant - either because our programs are not appropriate for his or her situation, or because we don't have space at that time - we will do our best to refer that person for assistance elsewhere.

Requirements for Admission

Hope House clients must:

  • be at least 18 years old
  • provide a legal background report
  • provide a health history
  • provide an alcohol/drug history (Rule 25 assessment)
  • complete an admission interview
  • (This interview may include family members or individuals who have worked with the applicant in the past.)

Admission Process

Most admissions are scheduled for week days between 8 am and 2 pm. We consider emergency admissions on a case-by-case basis.

Treatment Costs

Costs for treatment vary depending on treatment duration and payment source. The Hope House staff meets with prospective clients to determine payment options. Financial assistance is available for those who are eligible.
