"All my hopes and prayers for so long were focused on my daughter staying clean. Her addiction has robbed us physically, financially, emotionally and spiritually.

Now I pray that my other children will not follow the same path." Father of House of Hope client with 45 days clean.

I as trying to stay clean myself, and I worried every day that she was going to overdose and die. My main goal is to be a clean and sober family someday, but if not, I have to be here for my kids at least." Husband of House of Hope client, father of two.
