HOPES 2023 Annual Report

TRANSFORMING OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH HARM REDUCTION

OUR MISSION Provide compassionate, comprehensive treatment to inspire hope and enhance quality of life, through the process of recovery.

Substance Use Treatment We believe that a sober life starts with meeting our patients wherever they are in their recovery journey. By addressing their unmet psychological and socioeconomic needs, we can get to the root causes of their substance use and provide whole-person, dignified care. Our approach to substance use treatment includes Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), Peer Support Specialists, and high-quality, compassionate wrap-around health care services. Medication-Assisted Treatment MAT is a cornerstone of our commitment to recovery. Through our MAT Program, we offer a holistic approach to recovery, addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. This includes counseling and therapy, as well as medication management, which helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms from alcohol and opioid addiction. Peer Support Specialists A fundamental part of our approach to recovery is the integration of Peer Support Specialists — non-clinical employees whose shared life experiences enable them to connect with patients. These specialists meet patients where they are in their recovery journey, offering empathy and stability for those who need it most. Peer Support Specialists are active in all aspects of patient care, including behavioral health, MAT and residential aid at Hope Springs, serving as a resource and connecting patients to other community services that support general wellness.
