The Mission Of The Hope House

At the beginning of my training, I was hesitant to work with people struggling with addiction. However, at this point, I am excited to begin working with this population. The raw honesty presented in the group setting along with the anger at the possibility of losing a safe place created a dynamic I wanted to further explore. Research supports that individuals attending group therapy in a 12 step program format succeed if they have the proper support and motivation (Cite). The group dynamic demonstrated that recovery takes time and self-discovery, similar to other situations dealt with in therapy. Subsequently, by using my sense of self and humor with clients struggling with addiction, I can help them in their journey. Furthermore, the client needs to identify accountability at their own pace in the process and not when others dictate. This knowledge and the personalization of addiction will aid me in the future support of my

The need for a substance abuse recovery home in Starke County, Indiana is a need that is unmistakable in the county based on the hefty number of individuals that suffer from substance abuse and dependency in the county which is clearly displayed by the recent number of crimes that are related to or involve illicit and prescription drugs. In attempt to meet this need and create an opportunity for individuals suffering from substance abuse and dependency to receive local substance abuse treatment in a recovery home the proposal will be presented to several stakeholders within the Starke County community. The term stakeholder “refers to those people who are affected, or could be affected, by the service” (Canadian Career Development Foundation, n.d.) that is being proposed. The proposal for the creation of a substance abuse recovery home will be presented to five key stakeholders including Ms. Becky Anspach the director of Community Services of Starke County, Starke County Community Corrections director of operations Mr. Robert Hinojosa, Ms. Dee Lynch the director of the Indiana Department of Child Services of Starke County, Porter Starke Services facilitator of intensive outpatient program treatment (IOP), and Ms. Rhonda Adcock the director of Starke County CASA.

The program is conducted around shared experiences, strength and hope, through individuals who are recovering from their addictions.

The goal is to help individuals gain and keep permanent housing. In addition, it will also offer an In-House Recovery Program, which is dedicated to helping free individuals from substance abuse.

Therapeutic communities are formed to assist drug addicts to lead a better life. There are residential (in-patient) communities and outpatient communities which are led by recovering addicts. Some believe having a person who has experienced life from both sides, may bring a community closer. Others may be skeptical thinking this will lead to multiple persons relapsing. There are more concerns with such communities though. Once a program is complete or the addict can no longer fund the stay at a community, their

Just over a year ago I was homeless, pregnant, and sleeping in a tent on the grassy median next to the beach in Waikiki. Twelve years of hard drinking, two years of shooting meth, a failed marriage, abusive relationships, and losing custody of my oldest child brought me to this self-centered existence. I was battling depression and struggling to stay clean and sober. I did not see a future for me and feared I would lose my youngest child to CPS. I couldn’t let that happen. I had to get help. I reached out and on December 2, 2013 I entered the Salvation Army Family Treatment Services (SAFTS), a residential drug treatment facility in Kaimuki. My journey to recovery had begun.

My internship is currently at a community agency that is a part of the Community Service Board of Fairfax County, Virginia called Intensive Case Management. The Intensive Case Management program is located in Reston, Virginia. The population that this community agency serves are chronically homeless adults that have a co-occurring disorder of serious mental illness and substance abuse. This agency has seven case managers with a caseload of fifty-two clients. The purpose of this program is to find housing for clients and stabilize their co-occurring disorder so that they can function independently in the community.

Throughout this essay, I’ve mentioned the word recovery numerous time. As Miss New Jersey it is a community that I would like to embrace, with over 23 million Americans in recovery today. These individuals are always going to struggle with addiction, but they work daily to replace destructive habits with healthy new ones, in the attempt to mainstream sobriety. I will represent this community as a Recovery advocate promoting institutions such as recovery centers and recovery high schools, and provide New Jersians in recovery with the tools to sustain long-term recovery. We need to support those, in recovery so they can do so “out loud”, society should not discriminate against a community that is working daily to better their lives, in the attempt

The Transitional Rehabilitation Housing Pilot (TRHP) was intended to transition hospitalized forensic patients to the community. Twenty clients and their clinicians in two Ontario urban communities completed the measure of functioning, substance use, improvement, social assistance, and quality of life. The consumers additionally replied to open- ended inquiries about the validity of the program and living in the community on their recovery. With fifteen percent of the consumers re-offended, fifty-five percent experienced re-hospitalization; in any case, brief re-hospitalization was seen as a component of the recovery method. The level of community implementation was steady over time and thirty-five percent of consumers had a decline in the

Their research had been developed on a basis of an observation of an HIV positive patient, who was undergoing treatment for leukaemia via the bone marrow transplantation method. This method is known to introduce new bone marrow into the immune system of the effected patient to revive the patient’s “new” immune system. The bone marrow that this patient had received was genetically mutated of its ∆32 CCR5 gene that resulted in the inactivation of the gene.

In my community hope is something that can take us a long way but people do not realize that. I feel like when people get stuck in a situation where I'm from they just give up, but they do not realize hope in the Lord will always get you out your situation and may even put you into a better one. When i was a child my parents got a divorce and so it was just me and my mom for a long time, and we live in a rough part in Houston. I was starting to follow the wrong crowd and getting in trouble and not doing my best in school. I guess you can say i lost my hope and faith in everything after that time, but my mom never did. She kept telling me to keep hope because we won't be in these circumstance for long. But being a child i didn't listen i just
