We were led to open a recovery residence when we faced a drug addiction with our own son. Often times it’s the family of an addict that suffers tremendously by witnessing their loved ones’ loss of employment, loss of self-respect, and eventually their loss of freedom. We know this, but we also know the beauty of recovery.
We opened our first home in November 2020, The Hope House for Men, and in 2022 we purchased a 100-year-old farmhouse in the southern part of Toombs County where we now have The Hope House for Women. God has opened many doors for this ministry and we know that lives will be changed and restored through him.
Then Jesus said, "Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest."
Georgia Association of Recovery Residencies are recovery advocates. GARR was organized in 1987 by seven residential recovery programs that were seeking to set themselves apart by establishing high quality standards, ethical operating principles and third party oversight. Today, GARR, an affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, continues to be the advocate and authority (or agent) for quality recovery residences in Georgia. Their Philosophy: We believe in the highest quality of care for individuals needing recovery residence services. We believe that this is achieved through the creation and maintenance of standards as well as education designed for that purpose. We further believe that all people have the right to recover in an atmosphere conducive to their recovery and supports their basic need for safety, dignity, and respect. We are proud to be a Certified Member!
The State Board of Pardons and Paroles created The Transitional Housing for Offender Reentry (THOR). It is a directory of community-based housing for persons releasing from prison or on probation or parole. Facilities include Structured Housing (SH) and Recovery Residences (RR). The facilities contained herein have met DCS standards regarding safety, communication with agency staff, programming, employment, and other factors. Under the Georgia Department of Community Supervision, The Hope House Ministry for Men has been named a “Recovery Residence” resource in the THOR Directory. We are so thankful for this recognition and being able to serve in our local community.
