ABOUT METRO HOPE RECOVERY MINISTRIES

Metro Hope Recovery Ministries in Minneapolis, Minnesota offers residential care that is faith-based and gender-specific for individuals struggling with substance abuse. The facility recognizes the significance of financial and legal challenges faced by numerous clients. Residents come from the Twin Cities area and across the country. Metro Hope is a nonprofit organization established in 1926.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

Metro Hope operates two long-term residential facilities: New Hope Center (for men, 5-7 months) and Healing House (for women, 7-12 months). Both treatment programs heavily rely on Christian teachings and 12-step concepts.

For men, the treatment process begins with a trial residence of approximately one week, which focuses on evaluating the suitability of each individual for the program’s practices and rules. This is followed by a month of ongoing assessment, during which residents participate in chapel and educational sessions and engage in work therapy. The remaining weeks prioritize the healing process and the development of skills essential for successful life in recovery. Throughout the program, clients receive Christian counseling and support for finding full-time employment after program completion.

Similarly, the women’s program incorporates Christian therapy and life skills training, while also providing assistance with the transition into independent living, work, and school. Healing House is not a licensed treatment facility but is a long-term recovery program guided by Biblical principles. On-site child development services are also available.

Several specialized topics are covered, and additional services include parenting classes or groups for women and men, character development, trauma recovery, peer mentorship, and smoking cessation. The facility also offers treatment for co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders.

STAFF CREDENTIALS

The treatment staff consists of case managers, a master’s level therapist, and a registered nurse.

ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES

Photos of the facilities for men and women depict small, shared bedrooms with simple furnishings, as well as modest common areas. The women’s facility also provides space for 24 children who live with their mothers.

Residents have access to exercise equipment, libraries, and on-site chapels. The men’s facility includes a billiards table. New Hope Center has been operating since 1996, and Healing House since 2006.
