About Hope House

Recovery Begins with Hope.

Discover the values, beliefs, and feelings contributing to your behavior.

Hope House addresses behaviors and emotions behind addiction. Clients learn a variety of skills to help them control behaviors from within instead of relying on others. The program’s primary focus is to have clients work through the resident hierarchy. Clients must respect authority, take on responsibility, and work with fellow clients in a team environment. Treatment includes individual therapy, group therapy, and education about addiction.

Hope House gladly accepts your tax-deductible donations, including cash, food, and household items and used automobiles.

Drug  Addiction & Substance Abuse Program

Experience

Hope House staff has a combined total of more than 100 years of experience working with adults with drug and alcohol addictions. The agency has retained staff for many years, developed staff with expertise, and stability. All factors have created a stable, safe environment in which clients receive treatment.

Hope House’s mission is to provide Orange County adults with supportive, comprehensive treatment for chemical dependency. We have provided drug and alcohol treatment to Orange County adults for more than three decades. Hope House began in 1976 in response to the growing epidemic of drug abuse in Orange County. It originally was modeled after programs that used confrontational types of therapy. Over the years, the program has incorporated new forms of interventions and treatment to address client emotional, health and vocational needs.

Since the 1980s, Hope House has been working with adult addicts who have co-occurring mental and physical disorders. The program promotes diversity and works with many different populations, including minorities, clients with HIV and Hepatitis C.

Hope House maintains a structured living environment, provides therapy to address emotional issues and links to medical and psychiatric services. The program puts a great emphasis on harm reduction, skill building and linkage to community resources. Hope House emphasizes learning impulse control, managing stress, working with others and acquiring life skills necessary for successful re-entry into the community. Hope House continues to respond to community needs and incorporates innovative, cost-effective treatment.

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
  • Providing 12-step meetings, AA meetings once weekly and book study group
  • Daily walks (when permitted) and monthly outings to park

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.
