Healing with Hope Home

Posted on

The Healing with Hope Home supports individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and are impacted by alcohol dependence.

The Healing with Hope Home provides access to a managed alcohol program (MAP) where individuals are supported with housing and addressing primary care and mental health needs.

Individualized care planning assists individuals to work towards personal goals and enhanced overall wellbeing through a person centred approach that meets them where they are at.  While the abstinence model works for many, for some the ability to abstain from drinking is not feasible. Alcohol is administered on a daily basis by medical personnel as per a schedule determined by a physician’s medical assessment and direction.

The Healing with Hope Home works to reduce the harms associated with consuming non-beverage forms of alcohol such as mouthwash, hand sanitizer and more. The Healing with Hope Home is staffed with qualified medical and social support personnel that oversee the individuals to ensure their day-to-day and primary care needs are being met.
