Hope Recovery Center Next Steps
Mission: “Saving lives by inspiring hope through recovery”
Statement from Board of Directors, Hope Recovery Center August 13,2020
The Hope Recovery Center Board has made some strategic decisions about moving ahead with plans for the Hope Recovery substance abuse treatment center on the Key Peninsula. The current zoning code limits our ability to offer all the services that are so desperately needed in a treatment and recovery program, and the process of obtaining a Conditional Use Permit is uncertain in both duration and outcome. Therefore, we have chosen not to proceed with the appeal process with the Pierce County planning department in regards to the property on the Key Peninsula.
The good news is that we have taken steps to identify and acquire a new location that will allow the fulfillment of our vision of offering residential and non-residential services. We are in the early stages of the planning process and are looking in many areas within Pierce County. Our urgency is to see people get the help they need and our motivation to move forward is as strong as ever.
We are grateful for the continued support of our donors and community leaders and for the partnership with Lakebay Community Church in providing the Key Peninsula property.
Our goal is unwavering : “Getting the addiction out of the way, so the human being can live.”
We will continue to update and inform you as we progress in this new direction.

“Drug overdose deaths in 2016 most likely exceeded 59,000, the largest annual jump ever recorded in the United States. The death count is the latest consequence of an escalating public health crisis: opioid addiction, now made more deadly by an influx of illicitly manufactured fentanyl and similar drugs. Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death among Americans under 50.
Although the data is preliminary, the Times’s best estimate is that deaths rose 19 percent over the 52,404 recorded in 2015. And all evidence suggests the problem has continued to worsen in 2017.”
