About HOW Foundation – Tulsa
The H.O.W. Foundation is a free residential recovery program for men affected by substance use disorders in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They provide a structured and sober environment where you can learn accountability, discipline, and hard work. They take a no nonsense approach to rehabilitation that is grounded on 12 Step practices and the principles of strong work ethics. It frees you from the effects of substance abuse by granting you insight, strength and hope for a better life.
The H.O.W. Foundation combines these 12 Step principles with hands-on work in a supportive sober living space. They work with law enforcement to spark your sense of personal responsibility, moral values and self-confidence. Accepting responsibility for your life decisions keeps you laser focused on recovery instead of blaming others for your failures. This is what this program is all about. It is self supporting and physically demanding. You’ll learn accountability, personal responsibility and independent living skills through traditional manual labor. This labor is performed through community services, including removing tree stumps, chopping firewood, and hauling trash.
The program also emphasizes open-mindedness. This is important when working the 12 Steps. You must be willing to learn how to put the steps into practice. This learning experience fosters a real sense of community, of giving back and of truly belonging. 12 Step meetings don’t just promote community support but also inspire lasting relationships. When you think of it, you’ll connect with peers who share your experiences, strengths, and vulnerabilities. This helps you create a strong support network that encourages a sober lifestyle and prevents relapse. The activities also include prayers and meditation to help you build inner peace and self-awareness.
The program grants you a brand new perspective on life. You’ll be equipped with a restored work ethic and a set of new principles to guide your life. This is a recipe for making a fresh start that sets you up for a healthy and productive life. This is given that you continue putting in the work though. The program lasts for a minimum of six months.
