​Hope Recovery Center Next Steps

Mission: “Saving lives by inspiring hope through recovery”

To achieve maximum impact towards this mission, Hope Recovery has been developing plans
for a 50-bed recovery center located on the Key Peninsula. However, a decision from the Pierce
County Planning Department concluded that such a facility is not compatible with the local
zoning code. An appeal to this decision is being filed.

The effects of substance use disorder continue to devastate individuals, families, and
communities. The Hope Recovery Board has certainly been aware that there are many
challenges and complexities inherent in any plan to provide needed resources.

Several alternate models of ways to meet our mission have been under development while
waiting for the zoning decision. We are now evaluating the next best option. Plan details will
be developed to maintain these key objectives:
 A treatment environment that is safe and supportive of all aspects of recovery, with
innovative approaches to meet individual needs.
 Availability of services regardless of the individual’s ability to pay, and unrestricted in
time of treatment.
 Treatment options adhering to “best practices” therapies, including collaborations with
other related organizations and service providers.
 Inclusion of multiple, holistic therapies, including mental health counseling and job and
life skills training.

Our goal is to be ready to move ahead with the revised plan as the economy rebounds from the
current Covid 19 crisis. We continue to be grateful to our many donors and supporters and we
remain committed to the Hope Recovery Center mission within our local communities.

“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.”
