Hope is Alive

Hope is Alive (also known as Hope is Alive Ministries or HIA), located at 14400 Bogert Pkwy, Oklahoma City, OK 73134 (Suite 200 for administrative offices, with recovery homes and programs in the Oklahoma City area), is a transformative, faith-based non-profit organization dedicated to radically changing the lives of individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, as well as supporting their families. Founded with a mission to provide hope where it often feels lost, Hope is Alive combines Christ-centered principles with a holistic, wrap-around approach that addresses addiction as a treatable disease while fostering spiritual growth, emotional healing, and practical life change.

The organization operates a network of gender-specific recovery homes (sober living and mentoring environments) across multiple states, including Oklahoma (homes in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Claremore, and Weatherford), Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, Texas, and North Carolina. In Oklahoma City, the program emphasizes long-term, structured recovery in safe, community-oriented homes where residents live together, build accountability, and apply life skills daily. The approach is rooted in the belief that addiction is a disease, recovery is possible for the whole family, negative behaviors can be replaced with healthy ones, and feeling is part of healing. Programs incorporate 12-Step facilitation (aligned with Christian values), peer mentoring by graduates and staff (many in long-term recovery), spiritual development through prayer, Bible study, worship, and church partnerships, and practical tools for sobriety, employment, relationships, and independence.

Key offerings include:

• Recovery homes for men and women (separate facilities; 12–18 months typical duration, with phased progression focusing on stabilization, skill-building, accountability, and reintegration).
• The Healing Center (an affiliated residential treatment option on a scenic 75-acre campus near Oklahoma City, providing 45–90 days of structured, Christ-centered care with therapy, gut-healing nutrition, lifestyle practices, and full-circle restoration for mind, body, and spirit).
• Finding Hope support groups (free, compassionate meetings twice monthly for families and loved ones affected by addiction, offering prayer, education, and community).
• Hope After Loss counseling (specialized grief support for those who have lost loved ones to addiction).
• Additional initiatives like school support programs (educating youth and partnering with educators), retreats, YouVersion Bible plans, and community partnerships (e.g., churches, schools, corporations).

Hope is Alive prioritizes accessibility and impact, operating as a ministry rather than traditional insurance-based rehab-many programs are free or low-cost through donations, sponsorships, and partnerships (e.g., ECFA-accredited, Charity Navigator Four-Star rated, GuideStar Gold Seal). It does not typically accept insurance directly but focuses on holistic, long-term transformation with an impressive success rate claimed through resident testimonies and alumni stories. The organization has grown from one home in Oklahoma City to a nationwide network, endorsed by figures like Pastor Michael Todd and Craig Groeschel for its unique, life-changing model.

Clients and families often describe Hope is Alive as unlike any other program-family-like, hopeful, and truly restorative-helping thousands break free from addiction's grip and find renewed purpose through faith, community, and practical support.
