House of Hope for Alcoholics, Inc.

Mission Statement

The mission of the House of Hope is to provide alcohol and drug abuse treatment services to those who are most in need, so that they may reach their productive capacity, and enjoy those gifts of life that are only available in sobriety.

Alcohol and drug addictions are primary, chronic and progressive diseases. Addiction may ultimately be fatal if left untreated.  With appropriate treatment, progression may be interrupted and ongoing recovery begun.  This concept is supported by the American Medical Association, the U.S. Public Health Service and professionals in the treatment field.

Abstinence is the primary treatment goal for any client receiving services at all House of Hope programs.  “Abstinence” means total avoidance of drinking alcohol, using illicit drugs or prescription drugs illicitly.  Prescription drugs prescribed by a physician and used under a physician’s care are exceptions.

Certification
