About Hope Center Ministries

The mission of Hope Center Ministries, Inc. is to lead addicts and their families to become fully devoted followers of Christ. We are a long-term residential discipleship program, where we introduce men and women who are far from God to the transforming power of knowing Jesus Christ.Substance abuse is destroying the lives of countless individuals and their families. We at Hope Center exist to show them the way to true freedom over addiction. It is our firm belief that sobriety is a by-product of a relationship with Jesus, and we have made it our cause to not stop until every addict knows the freedom of following Christ. We offer a 12-month program consisting of 3 phases which are designed to introduce our residents into a life free from the bondage of addiction and give them purpose and independence as they become faithful followers of Jesus Christ. At Hope Center, we could not have the same impact without our more than 1,700 recovery volunteers serving as mentors, Bible study teachers, and group facilitators along with many other volunteers serving in various other roles. We currently have 1,600 beds within 52 locations across 13 states. Since 2007, we have celebrated more than 3,100 graduates, and in 2024 we celebrated the baptisms of over 1,800 residents, family members and friends of residents who made the decision to follow Christ. We are committed to adding more locations and to healthy growth as we strive to meet the rising need for recovery across our nation and world.If someone you know is battling addiction, please call us at 1-833-697-1947.
