Hope House Featured as One of the Best Rehab Facility in Augusta for 2020

During one of the most trying years of the millennia, Hope House was featured as on of the Best Rehab Facilities in Augusta. The certification of “Best Drug & Alcohol Rehab and Treatment Center in Augusta for 2020” came right after we celebrated our 29th year and our 2000th woman served.

The certification came from Help.Org, an organization that provides empowering, evidence-based information for those struggling with substance abuse and addiction. The data collected has highlighted that Hope House is not only one of the best but has provided patients with a level of care that far exceeds generally accepted care standards. 

Based on conversations Help.Org has had with addiction experts across the US, the vast majority of people who need treatment for substance abuse do not seek it. As you know, though there are many barriers that discourage people from getting the help they need, finding a reputable provider is a significant factor; So Help.Org spent the last 12 months analyzing key care quality metrics, such as the service provided, treatment approaches, costs, and most importantly patient reviews.

Below, is an example of the many reviews we have from past graduates of our many programs:

  • Hope House has an excellent reputation, and former clients often leave remarks like, Hope House gave me a second chance at life. The program gave me hope and the realization that there is a better life out there. I was lost for years, struggling with addiction, and wanting a new life so badly just not having the slightest clue how to get it. I will forever be grateful to this place and the staff for not giving up on me and making me realize my true potential.

#GivingTuesday Cyber event

Our goal on #GivingTuesday is to raise $5,000 for our Women’s Treatment and Recovery Support Services and Therapeutic Childcare programs here at Hope House. Hope House is the only recovery facility in 13 surrounding counties that allows children to live at the facility while their parents are in treatment. Parenting classes are mandatory for all of our participants with children. Our Therapeutic Childcare Center is more than a daycare. We evaluate the psychological, emotional, and mental needs of these children to set them on the path of making healthy and constructive decisions for their own lives. We've served more than 400 children and have seen 100 babies born drug free to participants. 

For every $1 invested in substance use disorder treatment, taxpayers save at least $7.46 in costs to society. At Hope House, we have the ability to positively impact the lives of children under our care and set the example for healthy living.

Thank you for your support, love and kindness!!

You can donate on 11/27/18 via this link or on Facebook by visiting our page and selecting the donate button under our cover photo.

Sponsor a child this holiday season

Because many of the women that enter our program are homeless or low- income, they come with very limited resources. Many families enter with the clothes on their back or just a few bags of belongings. To provide gifts for the holidays for our children and families, such as age-appropriate toys, coats, and other basic necessities, we are seeking local partners to help fill this need.

Each donation is tax deductible and receipts are provided upon request.

Augusta University partners with Hope House to provide treatment to inmates

We are partnering with Augusta University to bring women who are incarcerated to and from treatment! See the article below for more info...

"For many women living with opioid addiction, incarceration, and the rush to get high again afterward, can be a death sentence. More than one study places the risk of overdose death in the first two weeks after release at more than 100 times that of released inmates without substance use disorders. The problem is compounded by the relative lack of female inmates compared to their male counterparts. Fewer women arrested means fewer resources for helping women transition back into society."

Overdose Prevention Resources

Don't Run, Call 911!

Drug overdoses have outpaced automobile collisions as the leading cause of accidental death in the United States. Although most overdoses occur in the presence of others, fear of arrest and prosecution prevents many people from calling 911. Georgia’s Medical Amnesty Law protects victims and callers seeking medical assistance at drug or alcohol overdose scenes.

You can get a Naloxone (Narcan) rescue kit and be trained in its use. Click here to learn more and meet one of your local distributors! 

If a person is still alive, there's hope.
