12 Weeks at Trek: Why So Long?

 

Here at HopeQuest, we value the success of our clients. Recovery is a life-long pursuit. How one begins that journey is very important in laying a foundation for life-long success. We believe that 12 weeks is a worthwhile investment for long-term recovery for several reasons.

  1. Momentum: It takes a few weeks to adjust and then to start building a foundation for success. Once you start learning and absorbing, each week builds for a greater impact.
  2. Depth of focus: Addiction is often developed over a period of years of self-destructive behavior. Likewise, recovery and life-long change take time. 30 days is simply not long enough to both explore and begin addressing the root causes of your addiction.
  3. Research and experience show 12 weeks is an optimal time frame for real and lasting change.
  4. Courts are seeking longer programs as a part of their sentencing options because they understand that short programs lack the depth to pursue real change.
  5. Transitional and continuing care programs are available through HopeQuest for clients that complete the 12-week residential intensive. Transition programs provide a safe and secure environment that allows individuals to begin practicing their recovery skills in real life scenarios.

We are committed to the recovery success of every participant in the Trek program. We believe 12 weeks best enables each client for the greatest possibility of success as they apply the skills, tools, and habits they have developed during their stay. Above the things they have learned, we want the clients to experience that God is for them.

Get To Know HopeQuest: Bryan Bailey

Get to Know HopeQuest

This is a series of interviews where we introduce you to some of the men and women who serve the clients at HopeQuest. Today we meet Brian C. Bailey, the Campus Pastor / Director of Spiritual Formation for the last four years.

Bryan’s background in a nutshell

Bryan grew up in Texas and New Mexico, receiving three degrees from Texas Tech: a bachelor’s in Corporate Finance, a bachelor’s in Economics, and an MBA in High Performance Management. He planned on becoming an investment banker and senator, “Then Jesus showed up.” After obtaining his Master of Divinity with a focus on Biblical Languages from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Bryan worked in high school and college ministry until God brought him to HopeQuest.

“When I was in seminary, never in a million years would I have thought that I’d end up working at a rehab! But this is ministry every day, not once a week. I always tell people that ‘Pastor’ is not who I am, it is what I do. Walking with and sitting down with hurting people is pastoring.”

What is the role of faith in an addictions treatment program?

“Do you have to be a Christian to recover? No. Will you ultimately get peace and joy in your life without a relationship with Jesus? That’s a different question. I think most people who want recovery or talk about recovery are really wanting peace. We had a client who had been to 11 rehabs. He said this is the first place that dug beneath the surface both spiritually and clinically.”

What if somebody isn’t Christian? Can they still benefit from the TREK Program?

HopeQuest has served everyone from monks, to atheists, to megachurch pastors, to ex-cons, etc. “People who aren’t Christians are asking the same questions. We’re all searching for peace. Most people walk into the program with a lot of spiritual baggage. Faith doesn’t have to be overcomplicated! I want people to ask the hard questions and have permission to question and wrestle. You will never grow beyond the questions you are afraid to ask.”

“I view our clients as leaders, especially in the environments they will step back into after treatment. That mindset changes how I interact with them. I try to give clients freedom, confidence, and tools to find answers.”

There are other Christian treatment programs out there. What makes HopeQuest unique?

“I don’t have personal experience with other programs so I can’t say. I do know that I don’t focus on religion – I focus on the gospel. Not dumbing down the gospel, but bringing gospel clarity. We are grace-focused and practical, meeting clients where they are at. My guiding philosophy is ‘gospel + safety + time.’ If you remove any of those ingredients, it doesn’t work.”

“I also try to let clients see the human side of pastors. I am not the savior or superhero in their life. You can’t get away with wearing a mask here!”

What about your work do you find most rewarding?

“Seeing clients find hope and have lightbulbs go off. Seeing clients own their own faith. That’s huge. I once had a pastor hug me, sobbing, after class one morning. He told me he has been teaching grace his entire career but only just then came to really understand it. Moments like that keep me going.”

What is Christ-Centered Recovery?

HopeQuest is a fully integrated residential program which is both Christ-centered and clinically-effective. While some programs may have a Christian track, a personal relationship with Christ is central to who we are and what we do.

Many of our clients have tried the spiritual tools available to them but still struggle with their addiction because they haven’t been able to get to the root of the problem.

Here are some ways that HopeQuest invests in the spiritual and Christ-centered piece of recovery:

• Every HopeQuest staff member is an active church member and has a personal relationship with God

• Several on our staff are ordained ministers with Master’s degrees in Divinity and Theology

• Full-time HopeQuest campus pastor on staff is available to clients during the week

• Daily devotions and chapel services

• Weekly church participation

• Each client receives a new, leather bound study Bible 

• Clinically-effective, Christ-centered, and Bible-based curriculum

• Primary target not addictive behaviors but the hearts of our clients

• Our church and investment partners invest monetarily and spiritually in every client

• Grace-filled environment where no one is judged or shamed

Women’s Transition House Opening!  

Part of HopeQuest’s Trek Women’s Program
We are excited to announce the opening of the Women’s Transition house!
For many years, women exiting the Trek residential program relied on sober living homes or other half way house situations if they were not ready to return to their home environment. Thankfully, through the donation of a house located nearby the HopeQuest main campus, we were able to open our first women’s transition home on April 1, 2017.
The transition home is open to those ladies that have successfully achieved the women’s Trek residential program and desire to have some structure in place as they take a next step back into real world living. Women may stay in the transition program up to 6 months. Currently, the transition home has a capacity of 4 women plus the house director who resides in the home full time.
Celebrate with us on this new and exciting service we are offering clients!

Sexual Addiction Curriculum Available!

 

Walking Free/Journey Support Group Materials

Did you know that we have affordable group resources for individuals and churches to use to help men and spouses impacted by sexual addiction?
Building for Freedom is for men pursuing honest and authentic relationships with Jesus Christ and other believers through personal study and group support. Designed to engage men both spiritually and practically, this 15-week interactive study addresses the challenges of sexual integrity in profound and life-changing ways.
Journey is written for spouses of sexually broken men. Journey can be done alone, with a therapist, or as a part of a Journey support group. Journey groups are a 10-week counseling and support group for women facing betrayal and loss. Using the Journey workbook, women will work through topics such as “Angry – but not Stuck”; “Admitting Fears”; “Setting Limits”; and ‘”Trusting Wisely”.
Leadership Kits are also available to those that desire to start Walking Free or Journey Groups through their church.  For more information on materials or starting a group in your church, please reach out to John Harris. John will be able to offer direction and support when it comes to starting groups or purchasing materials. Call our main office at (678) 391-5950, or email John directly at john.harris@hopequestgroup.org

Thankfulness…we need it

You may not be aware, but we value what God can do in the life of those that are held captive by addiction.  We value it so much, in fact, that HopeQuest has a full-time Campus Pastor/Director of Spiritual Formation for our TREK Residential Program.

Today, this was a communication piece our Campus Pastor sent out as he challenged our residential program participants in spiritual life:

Good morning gang,

 Wanted to give you a heads up on what we did this morning in spiritual life. We showed them this video: http://youtu.be/5oPDcFJk–E

 And then I asked the guys “so why would I show you this video and what does it have to do with your recovery?” 

 I’ve watched time and time again the power of gratitude as clients recover. I challenged them to write five things they’re grateful for today, and then challenged to do five everyday and hang them up. Was shocked at how many guys were in tears… Please keep praying for these men. I love what I sense God doing around here. 

 

Here’s what we’re doing with those:

thankful

Our work is greater than just stopping destructive addictive behaviors.  We help people do that, but our vision goes far beyond stopping behaviors.  It moves into restoring freedom, hope, and life.

TREK for Women!

We are so excited to announce we will be opening the New TREK Residential Program for Women! Women's Program for WEBSITE

The program is a 12-week, state-licensed program for women held captive by addictions such as drugs, alcohol, or sex addiction. While we had previously admitted female participants in the traditional TREK program, we ceased to do so in March of 2014 for the purpose of developing a program to address the unique and specific needs of women. We are so pleased to share this great news! The new program is gender-specific (women only) and will function independently from our current TREK Program for men. We will have renovated residence facilities, female support staff, and specialized care designed for our ladies. Our Women’s Program will be limited to a maximum capacity of six ladies.

 

  • Do you know a woman that needs our help and would benefit from the TREK Residential Program?  Contact Joe Sellers, our Director of Admissions, at 678-391-5950 or joe.sellers@hopequestgroup.org, and Joe will help you understand more about the option of the TREK Residential Program for Women!

When Prayer Doesn’t Fix Addiction

Being clinically effective and Christ centered has it’s challenges.  Not from being effective in our approach to treating people held captive by addiction, but by the perception of Christians at times that more spiritual focus and more spiritual discipline is the sole answer to the problem.  Sometimes prayer doesn’t fix addiction.  Most of the time, it doesn’t.  So why do we still pursue being both clinically effective and Christ centered in our approach to treating people?

  1. God is for people trapped in addiction. God knows their story.  He understands their pain.  God is pursuing them with a reckless abandon to redeem and restore what has been lost.  If God is for them, we should be to.
  1. God can “fix” the addiction in a moment. He can do that!  But most often, God uses process to bring about recovery and restoration because other relationships are involved.  Process involves trust and faith.
  1. Significant emotional events change how our brain functions and works. Both in positive and negative ways.  Addictive behavior does as well.  We are so blessed to have skilled and gifted professionals with a heart for God and hurting people that can clinically address the deep and often broken parts of our clients.  We are thankful for people whom God has given great insight to the workings of both the mind and heart.
  1. We are clinical so the local Church doesn’t have to be (although it can be). The local Church does so many things such as feeding the poor, orphan care, widows, taking the Gospel to the world.  Our desire is to let the local church be the local church and shine where she is strong….in loving and leading people to Jesus.

So yes, we are both clinically effective and Christ centered.  God has given us a unique skill to care for the mind and minister to the heart.  We aren’t just one or the other, we are both.  Our goal goes far beyond the ceasing of an addictive behavior, but to offer Hope and Life as our clients move forward.

333 Dollars

 333 dollars.

Seems like a random number doesn’t it?  What could you possibly do with 333 dollars?
I can tell you what we can do with 333 dollars.  That money buys one man’s day in the Trek program. It is one day closer to a family having their son, brother, or father back.
What does he do in that one day, you ask?
He is in group therapy for about 6 hours.
He gets 3 square meals a day, plus snacks.
He has a roof over his head, a comfortable place to sleep, and most of all, his family knows he is SAFE.
He may have an individual counseling session with his therapist.
He sits on the front porch and talks to his mentor about the things he is learning about himself.
He plays a round of volleyball with the other clients.
He does his homework from group that day, reads his new, leather bound Bible, and journals.
That seems like a lot of activities for 333 dollars, doesn’t it? I thought so too.  At HopeQuest, our vision is to make recovery affordable and accessible. Your gift, along with the gifts of other generous donors, allows us to do that by financially subsidizing 1/3 of a client’s stay. And it starts with one day.
So my question to you is, would you, your small group, your Sunday school class, your church, or your family, be willing to donate 333 dollars to pay for a day in Trek, so that one man can write a different ending to his story?
Call 678-391-5950 today or you can send us a check at P.O. Box 2699, Woodstock, GA 30189

 

Addiction Kills

Usually I recommend a resource for you to read in reference to addiction.  This week, instead of something to read, I want to give you some steps of action for a resource.
Addiction kills.  There, I said it.  Addiction kills people.  Have you heard the statement, “Everyone knows someone”? If that statement is true, and I believe it is, then I have to ask you the question: What are you doing to help the person you know?  Maybe it’s your brother, your cousin, your co-worker, or your family friend.  Here are a few ways you can help that person that came to your mind, who you know is struggling with addiction.
  • Pray for them.  Prayer changes hearts and saves lives.
  • Reach out to them.  Don’t give up.  Being passive and quiet out of fear often enables them to remain in their addiction. Allow your love for them to show.  There is always hope.
  • Love them by fighting for them.  Without help, the cycle continues, and in most cases, gets worse.  If your loved one needs help, pursue it wholeheartedly.  You won’t regret it.
One place you know you can call is HopeQuest.  We have beds available today.  We can help your loved one.  Please call 678.391.5950.

I Made It!

This is an excerpt from some final comments that one of our clients wrote upon finishing his time at Trek. This really resonated with me, and I hope it will for you as well.  Recovery is hard work, as exemplified in his final statement- “I made it.”  

It takes courage to admit you’re in over your head.
It takes stamina to stay the course.
It takes hope to believe that life can be done in a different and better way. 
I am so proud of our clients as they daily persist in recovery, while they are in Trek, and when they leave and go back out into their worlds.
“It’s been a quest to find myself and who I truly am. No matter what the circumstances are, I matter. There are people out there that care. I think the name (HopeQuest) fits so perfectly here. This is harder than the Marine Corps. This is harder than Iraq. I would choose deployment to Iraq over this. I did it. I needed it. I made it.”

How to Successfully Talk about your Feelings

Today I wanted to share a really helpful tip for communication. This is straight out of our client curriculum- but it is truly a great life skill for everyone to use.  Being clear about how you feel and why (both in good and bad situations) is vital to healthy relationships.
To help others better understand you; follow this format when communicating your feelings.

•I feel____________________________(feeling word)

•About____________________________(situation)
•Because__________________________(reason)
“I” statements have the capacity to communicate what is going on with you and therefore trigger care and concern [for you] within your relational partner’s heart. “You” statements have the capacity to trigger defensive posturing with your relational partner.
Some things to avoid when conversing about your feelings:
– Saying “I feel like,” or “I feel that.” These statements express a thought or belief, not a feeling.

– Saying “I don’t know” as a feeling word. Do not say “It doesn’t matter,” or “I don’t care.”

– Instead of “I am proud of you,” say “I feel proud about_______ because______.”  Specifics are more important than you may think!

– Using minimizers like “I feel a little angry” or “I felt kind of hurt.” Try to accurately label the feeling – if you have to use a less intense feeling word, do so.

– Do not talk at, preach to, or teach one another. This causes others to close off and not hear a word you say.

-Do not talk for others. Communicate your feelings and only yours. Keep the focus on yourself and how you feel.

If you stick to your feelings and truly express them, you will see how powerful this tool can be.  Remember feelings are necessary for relationships.

The Importance of Community

A crucial part of operating a nonprofit is our relationships with the local community.  Counselors, medical professionals, detox facilities, churches, care ministries, lawyers, and individuals with a heart to serve, to name a few.  Since we are located in Woodstock, Georgia, we are blessed to be so close to the big city of Atlanta, which offers many opportunities to connect and partner with other organizations.  We get phone calls every day from hurting people, and we never want to hang up the phone without giving them another resource to find the help they and their loved ones need.
One of the strong focuses for HopeQuest in 2015 is to strengthen relationships with our local referral partners and community.  Some ways we do this is offering tours of our facility, making appointments to share HopeQuest with counselors and churches, and connecting with the resident recovery community.  We want to aid other organizations by offering our outpatient support groups, Journey and Walking Free, as well as make our inpatient program, Trek, readily available.  In saying this, I want to take a moment to extend this opportunity to you.  If you, or your company or church, is interested in partnering with us, or would like to have a conversation about resources that are available to you, please contact Samantha Kelly at Samantha.kelly@hopequestgroup.org.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers. God Bless!

Faces of Hope: Lance’s Story

Lance was born in Texas; his parents divorced when he was young, and he moved with his mother to Arkansas.  He felt disconnected from his father, who was an alcoholic, and his mother worked as a correctional officer trying to support Lance and his sister.

When Lance was in middle school, he began experimenting with drugs and alcohol, and with members of the same sex.  He was confused why he felt some of these feelings about other boys, but when he asked his mom about it, she dismissed his concerns.

Feeling inadequate and insecure, he started using drugs and alcohol to cope with his same sex attraction during his high school years.  This quickly turned into more delinquent activities, and eventually he was imprisoned for stealing.  Throughout his early twenties, it was a blur of being in and out of jail, using drugs and alcohol, and promiscuity.  Eventually, someone invited Lance to church.  He had experienced some Christian influence when he was younger, and decided to give it another try. He was desperate for something different than what he had been experiencing thus far in his life.

At church in Houston, he attended a Catalyst Retreat where he was finally honest about his struggles with homosexuality.  Being honest and real with the men at the retreat was therapeutic for Lance.  Shortly after, he was referred to HopeQuest, and those who attended the retreat that day with Lance all pitched in to help him pay for his recovery.

Lance completed his 12 weeks at HopeQuest and has been living in our transition house for the last 3 months.  He is debt free and free of legal troubles, and living clean and sober.  When describing how HopeQuest was different from the other rehabs and prisons he had been in, he said, “Prison held me, and HopeQuest healed me.”

We’re Moving!… Moving Forward

unnamed (1)
Friends and Partners in Hope,
Seasons Greetings!  Typically this week in our email campaign we feature one of our “partners in hope”; someone that has given substantially of their time or money to help our ministry.  Well, this week, our featured partner is… YOU. That’s right, you, reading this email. Those of you who give financially, who serve faithfully, who pray continuously, and who have a heart for helping people overcome addiction. We have said from the beginning that recovery work is not easy. The work we do is messy and sometimes painful.  But this is what God has called us to. In the world we live in, more and more people need help, and the hope that only Jesus can offer them.
I’m sure you saw in our most recent newsletter about our new campaign, “Moving Forward.” We are very excited at the prospect of having a new facility and being able to help more people. We have received approximately 100,000 of our goal, and are anticipating a solid finish to our 2014 year end goal of 250,000 going towards the “Moving Forward” campaign. The best part of this campaign is enabling us to help more people, while keeping the cost of our program affordable. Will you help us raise the remaining 150,000 by December 31st?  You can help us by donating today, knowing your gift will benefit individuals and families for years to come.
As an organization and behalf of our clients, thank you for your generosity and God bless!
-Roy

Resource Review: Boundaries

For this month’s resource recommendation, I read Boundaries (When to say YES and when to say NO to take control of your life) by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend.

 
What is it about:  Christians often focus so much on being loving and giving that they forget their own limitations and neglect to create margins. This book will show you how to set healthy boundaries with your parents, spouses, children, friends, coworkers, and even yourself.  Boundaries are personal property lines that define who you are and who you are not, and influence all areas of your life.  Drs. Cloud and Townsend show you how to bring new health to your relationships. You’ll discover firsthand how sound boundaries give you the freedom to walk as the loving, giving, fulfilled individual God created you to be.

 
Why did I read it: At HopeQuest, we offer our clients this book as a part of their journey to healing and restoration.  Having boundaries, especially healthy ones, is typically a completely foreign idea to our clients.  Learning about how to express yourself to others and set safe, healthy guidelines on your life is a necessity.  This book is a life changer!

 
Favorite idea:  “Boundaries define us.  They define what is me and what is not me. A boundary shows me where I end and someone else begins, leading me to sense of ownership.  Knowing what I am to own and take responsibility for gives me freedom; and taking responsibility for my life open up many different options.”

 

Boundaries

Resource Review: Telling Yourself the Truth

For this month’s resource recommendation, I read Telling Yourself the Truth by William Backus and Marie Chapian. *Winner of the Gold Book Award (500,000 copies sold) and Winner of the Gold Medallion Award (E.C.P.A.), which recognizes excellence in evangelical Christian literature.

What is it about:   Wrong thinking produces wrong emotions, wrong reactions, wrong behavior, and unhappiness! Learning to identify your thoughts and change them is the first step on the road to healthy thinking.  The authors explain what they call “Misbelief Therapy.”
Each chapter is broken down into categories of misbeliefs: anger, self-talk, depression, anxiety, lack of self-control, fear of change, and relationships with others.  The last chapter is also dissects common ideas that can dictate our decisions, like “In order to be happy I must be loved by everybody” or “I want it, therefore I should have it.”  These thoughts become beliefs that, if you let it, have the power to control your life!   Telling Yourself the Truthcan show you how to identify your own misbeliefs and replace them with the truth.
Why did I read it: At HopeQuest, we offer this book to our clients because getting control of your thoughts, especially destructive ones, has great power to affect success in overcoming addiction.  Addiction stems from negative experiences, emotions, and thoughts, that become so powerful that they start causing actions and eventually, a belief system.  Taking responsibility for your life and choices and changing them is empowering for not just our clients, but anyone who reads this book!
Favorite idea:  “What you think and believe determines how you feel and what you do.  We hope you have decided you can change your emotions; you can be an adjusted and happy human being, no matter what you have experienced in your life and no matter what your circumstances are.  The question now is, do you reallywant to be happy?”

Faces of Hope: Charles

unnamed

This month’s Faces of Hope introduces you to *Charles, a HopeQuest client who is living the miracle of restoration in his own life and the life of his family.

Charles:  “I was employed in emergency tree work and injured my back on the job. After being prescribed pain killers during my recovery, I quickly became addicted. I had never had a problem with pain medicine, but I was already an addict: I drank too much and used ‘recreational’ drugs. 

 What began with me taking prescription pain meds soon became the prescription pain meds taking me.  

I entered the HopeQuest program completely broken. I was in a very dark place. But I kept praying and reading the Bible. I began to look at what caused my behavior, why I hated my life, and who it really was that was keeping me from being happy. It was me! I had bought into the enemy’s lies and believed I could not be a good person, father, or husband. At HopeQuest, I began to listen to people who truly cared about me. I chose to believe that Jesus loves me – including all my flaws. I turned my whole heart to God. I began to see real change, and that is when a miracle happened: my wife began to see that I was changing, too. I completed the HopeQuest program and was able to go home to my wife and two boys. 

 I have been clean for the longest time in my life and was granted another miracle: a third son! I know that Hope Quest not only saved my life, Hope Quest saved my family.”
