THE CURRENT TREATMENT MODEL IS NOT ENOUGH

The statistics say it all. 70% of people who go through treatment for a drug addiction relapse within the first year. Those numbers drop to 34% between 1-3 years in recovery. And if we can get someone to 3-5 years of sobriety, there is only a 14% chance of relapse. The current 30, 60, 90 days of treatment are NOT ENOUGH.

Hope United's vision for recovery is to create an environment for people seeking relapse prevention and recovery resources for a substance use disorder in an outpatient setting. In addition, Hope United will provide a program that encompasses an individual's whole life including: mind, body and spirit. The future Relapse Prevention Wellness Center, Tyler’s Redemption Place, will continue where current treatment providers leave off, giving those in recovery continued support, a safe place of fellowship, and the resources needed to make informed decisions, initiate true recovery, build on their strengths, and regain control of their lives. Tyler's Redemption Place is what is needed to provide long-term support for individuals in recovery from addiction.
