ABOUT PROJECT HOPE RECOVERY CENTER
Located in Houston, Texas, Project Hope Recovery Center offers a long-term Christian residential program for people struggling with addiction. The center puts a heavy emphasis on living a Christian lifestyle, and treatment typically lasts 14 months.
Project Hope offers treatment for multiple addictions such as substance abuse, overeating, stress, sex, and anger.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
According to the facility’s website, to be admitted into the program, clients must pay a $500 induction fee, have a sincere desire to change, be open to instruction, and be able to make a year commitment to complete the program.
Project Hope Treatment Center does not accept residents who are taking psychotropic medications. The center’s website notes Project Hope Recovery Center is a Christian residential program, not a medical, psychiatric, or psychological program. Therefore, it does not offer detox. The facility is based on the Teen Challenge model.
During a typical day of treatment, residents get up early and have little free time. At Project Hope Treatment Center, the mornings are devoted to Bible reading, prayer, chores, and mentoring. In the afternoon, residents have vocational training and work. While the evenings there are recreation activities, mentoring sessions, Bible study, and fellowship.
The average length of treatment is 14 months. However, it could run between 12 and 18 months.
In Project Hope Recovery Center’s work-study program, residents do tasks such as administrative work, kitchen clean-up, laundry, janitorial duties, maintenance projects, and wood working. The program is designed to help residents learn responsibility, life skills, and the importance of serving others.
After residents are in the program for 14 days, they are allowed one family visit a month on Sundays, and are allowed to make phone calls. Students are typically allowed two phone calls a week for 10 minutes each.
