About this Recovery House
Promise of Hope, Inc. operates a men's sober living home in Cochran, Georgia, in Bleckley County. The men's residence is a companion to the organization's women's house in nearby Dudley, and both operate under the same faith-based recovery model.
A Men's Sober House in Cochran
This sober living home serves men only, in Cochran, the seat of Bleckley County and a small city in Middle Georgia. Keeping men in their own building in a separate town from the women's residence in Dudley is how Promise of Hope, Inc. structures its program: one gender per house, one town per house.
A Christian Recovery Program
Promise of Hope, Inc. runs its houses on an explicitly faith-based model, describing recovery as work done alongside a resident's relationship with his faith. That framing runs through the house's daily structure, and it is worth understanding before applying, since it shapes the program as much as any written house rule.
Paired With a Women's House in Dudley
The Cochran house is one half of Promise of Hope's two-house structure, with the women's residence roughly a dozen miles away in Dudley. A single organization running both means referrals and any future transfer between the two happen inside one program that already knows both houses.
Bleckley County and Middle Georgia
Cochran serves as the seat of Bleckley County and the area's commercial hub, giving residents of this house access to local employers, churches and services without needing a car to reach a larger city. Middle Georgia's smaller counties depend on towns like Cochran for exactly this kind of daily infrastructure.
Applying to the Cochran House
Men apply directly to Promise of Hope, Inc. Questions worth asking before move-in include what the program expects in the first thirty days, how the faith-based curriculum is structured day to day, and what happens if a resident needs a different level of care than sober living provides.
The Cochran Men's House Promise Of Hope Inc is currently offering 30 beds, providing structure, discipline, Biblical guidance, and 12-Step exposure, the program strives to utilize the therapeutic value of one addict helping another through the examples of staff and volunteers who have walked this way.
The foundation of the system is based on developing a personal relationship with Jesus. The education of addiction and recovery is broken down into a three-phase process. Promise of hope is also a work program, with the residents going to work after 30 days to full-time employment to offset program costs.
In September of 1999 the organization became a member in good standing with Georgia Association of Recovery Residences. This accreditation states that the ministry provides appropriate services for individuals who suffer from chemical dependency. In 2002 the organization was accredited by Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.
