About Hope Center Ministries – Kailua
Hope Center Ministries – Kailua provides faith-based residential drug and alcohol treatment for adult men in Kailua, Hawaii. Their long term residential treatment is spiritually, emotionally and physically liberating. You’ll also get aftercare support upon graduation. Despite their name and Christian centered approach, this facility is open to everyone including believers and unbelievers. They also provide services to judicially involved clients.
They offer a phased recovery approach that integrates proven therapeutic practices and Christian centered models. The first phase involves 12 Step immersion, individual and group lay counseling and Celebrate Recovery. This helps you build a solid recovery foundation focusing on accountability, peer support and spiritual growth. You should expect to attend bible studies, participate in daily chores and engage in daily reflection that fosters spiritual development. Family support is emphasized, and visitation is allowed. They even have a dedicated family support night, foundation classes and interactive topical courses.
You’ll also participate in recreational activities including gym sessions, Saturday fun days such as lake trips or skydiving, weekend retreats to the mountains or beaches and a readily accessible snack shack. I admire their commitment to providing these recreational benefits as they make the program fun. The sponsoring church from the community will offer weekend service, small group opportunities and pastoral care. This phase lasts for four weeks.
In the second phase, the program becomes more tailored to meet your core recovery needs. Daily chores become replaced with 40 hours of vocational training weekly. This helps you build sound technical and interpersonal skills that prepare you for fulfilling career prospects upon graduation. This phase lasts for 40 weeks.
The final phase eases you closer to life after graduation through more real-life skills like financial management. This is in addition to privileges like more opportunities to earn income and personal phone and vehicle use. This final phase lasts eight weeks. It is believed that at the end of the program you’ll return to a stable, responsible and addiction free life in Christ.
