One gift is enough to help light someone’s path toward recovery. For Lacey, the darkness of her addiction had been building for years.
Drinking controlled her life. She felt like she was failing—as a mother, a teacher, and a person. Lacey found the courage to seek help at Valley Hope. A financial barrier stood in her way, but that wasn’t the end of her story.
Lacey received charitable support through the Gift of Recovery year-end appeal, allowing her to remain in treatment and move forward with a strong recovery plan and involvement in the Valley Hope alumni program. The support gave her hope.
Today, Lacey is thriving. She is a devoted teacher, a present mother, and a strong supporter of Valley Hope. Her life looks different because donors, like you, helped when she couldn't afford to do it alone. Many patients need that same support.
Valley Hope’s mission is to restore lives affected by addiction and support lifelong recovery. We believe financial hardship should never stand between an individual and the treatment they desire. This year, we have a goal to help 400 patients overcome financial barriers to treatment.
That’s 400 people given additional time to heal—and more than 400 families given hope for their loved one.
Your gift will help a person struggling to take another step toward a life beyond addiction. Your gift can help turn darkness into light and hope.
Thank you for believing that people struggling with addiction deserve the opportunity for treatment and your willingness to light the path toward recovery.
At Valley Hope, we understand the devastating toll addictive substances have on people, their families and relationships. We've seen productive lives and promising futures destroyed by this relentless, unforgiving disease.
We are steadfast in our belief and dedicated to the idea recovery is possible. With Valley Hope's help, people struggling with addiction can once again become the people they were meant to be. We treat the whole person-mind, body and spirit. Our multidisciplinary team of counselors, chaplains, physicians, nurses and psychologists work together to meet the physical, mental, social and spiritual needs of each patient.
The initial concept for a treatment center stemmed from a friendship forged in Norton, Kansas, between a physician and a minister. Dr. Merlynn Colip and Rev. Bob Adams shared a common concern - many people they were encountering in their respective fields were suffering from alcoholism and little was being done to address the problem.
The two men were driven to become part of the addiction solution. In 1967, Valley Hope Association was incorporated and opened as a 9-bed facility. The demand for Valley Hope's services grew as people from across the Midwest traveled to western Kansas for Valley Hope treatment. Within two months, there was a waiting list for admission. Denver Tech Center developer, George Wallace, joined the Board of Directors of Valley Hope Association and encouraged replication of Valley Hope in other locations. As a result of this conversation,
Valley Hope expanded to six new states including Colorado. The Parker center opened in 1989 providing residential addiction treatment services. In 1992 the Denver Outpatient office opened.
In 2019, Valley Hope responded to another significant need. New Directions for Families opened, providing a safe place for mothers to receive treatment without being separated from their children. In 2020, Valley Hope's digital platform, TeleCare, was launched to provide treatment and recovery support services during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond.
Since its inception, Valley Hope's intention has remained the same; to help those whose lives have been ravaged by drug and alcohol addiction.
