Hope is Alive (HIA) Ministries provides a Christ-centered approach to substance use treatment. The ministry began with founder Lance Lang's recovery from addiction and his wife and co-founder Ally's experience supporting him during recovery. HIA believes that addiction is a disease, there is power in prayer and community, recovery is possible for the whole family, it's important to replace negative behaviors with healthy behaviors, feeling is part of healing, and that there is hope. In North Carolina, they offer women's homes in Hubert and Beaufort, as well as men's programs in Beaufort and Greenville.
HIA's sober living program focuses on healing core wounds that led to alcohol and drug use, facilitating "radical life change." Their gender-specific houses have mostly shared bedrooms, new bedding, dressers, nightstands, lamps, and personal kitchen space. They recommend bringing a Bible, food and non-alcoholic drinks, clothes hangers, laundry detergent, towels and other personal bathroom supplies, and a month's worth of clothing.
Along with a place to stay, HIA provides an active schedule. Participants are expected to enroll in a local 12-Step facilitation program, find full-time employment nearby, and participate in optional adventure outings like ski trips and retreats. Residents attend monthly in-house mentor meetings, a local church, a Sunday evening house meeting, a Monday night Bible study, and a Wednesday group meeting. The meetings are at 6:30 p.m. local time. They customize the curriculum to meet residents' needs, and can help with legal issues as necessary. In addition, residents can serve the community once a month. The program lasts 12-18 months with most residents staying the full 18 months. The program charges $750 for the first month and $650 for every following month. To ensure sobriety, Hope is Alive performs random drug tests.
Hope is Alive is based in Oklahoma City but has a national reach through their sober living and family therapy programs, as well as their retreats, YouVersion Bible reading plan, and church, corporate, and school partnerships. They feature Craig Groeschel's endorsement on their YouTube, and they've worked with Groeschel, Tim Tebow, Brandon Lake, and Ben Fuller on their retreat programs. They provide information about their regular and special programming through their printed RADICAL magazine and blog posts.
Hope is Alive offers free family care through their Finding Hope program, where they commit to intentionally loving, supporting, and praying for each other. They hold meetings twice a month for 60-90 minutes. Their Hope After Loss counseling program helps people who have lost a loved one to addiction.
