Valley Hope seeks to invest $17 million in an expansion and renovation of the Parker, Colorado, residential addiction treatment center. The Parker Project will expand the center and improve efficiencies of treatment services. The facility will receive a fresh face along with relief from the current cramped conditions. The project will reduce waiting lists for admission, help more people, improve safety, and provide privacy and comfort for all patients.
We have needed an expansion and renovation in Parker for fifteen years. We are thrilled to be making this project happen, so that more patients can be provided with the life-saving benefits of Valley Hope services. With the demand for addiction treatment increasing, the needs of patients shifting, and treatment innovations evolving, Valley Hope stands ready to help the Colorado community.
Testimonials
Tracy-
I came to Valley Hope when I just couldn't function anymore. I'd hit bottom. I was depressed, discouraged and confused.
The counselors understood how I was feeling. Most of them had walked in my shoes and it made me realize that recovery was possible. It gave me hope. I had a choice: work the program or go back to my old life. It was up to me.
The counselors helped me deal with a part of my life that I had buried. The whole experience was bittersweet but it made me realize God was still there for me.
I look forward to every day now. I know things are going to work out. I'm smiling again.
Danita-
Cut off from my daughters, with no job and no place to go, I hit bottom. That's when an old friend and former patient of Valley Hope contacted me and gave me the opportunity to get clean. But I had to want it and be serious.
I thought all I had to do was complete the program and I would be able to go back and fool everyone again. That's how addiction works. The people at Valley Hope helped me understand the disease for what it really is. They changed my life and will forever be in my heart.
There are still aspects of addiction that hinder my day-to-day life, but I don't turn to drugs or drink to cope. I made awesome friends at Valley Hope and have a great support system. Today I live with my kids, I talk to my family, I attend celebrate recovery, I am confident again. I even minister and share my story.
Travis-
My drinking days were pretty much a blur. I did what I needed to do to get by and feed my addiction. Everything else I let slide. Family relationships were fading. Work was going downhill. And I got into a bunch of trouble with the law and that's what got me to Valley Hope.
The staff and counselors made me feel welcome. Hearing other patients' stories made me realize I had a problem that could get a lot worse if I didn't treat it. Once I admitted that, I got with the program. I learned a lot about alcoholism and what I needed to do to live a happier, healthier life.
I know life will never be easy but it is a heck of a lot easier now. My relationships with family and friends have grown tremendously. God, family and friends are what keep me going.
