Hope is Alive Ministries - Sober Living Mentoring Homes

Hope is Alive Ministries provides Christ-centered treatments for substance use.

Hope is Alive began with founder Lance Lang's recovery from addiction and his wife and co-founder Ally's experience supporting him during recovery. They have board members at their central Oklahoma City office and the other cities they regularly operate in.

Core Beliefs

Hope is Alive attests that addiction is a disease, there is power in prayer and community, recovery is possible for the whole family, it's important to replace negative behaviors with healthy behaviors, feeling is part of healing, and there is hope.

Sober Living with Hope

Hope is Alive's sober living program, offered in partnership with Hillsong Church, focuses on healing core wounds that led to alcohol and drug addiction to facilitate "radical life change." Their houses have mostly shared bedrooms, new bedding, dressers, nightstands, lamps, and personal kitchen space. They recommend bringing a Bible, food and non-alcoholic drinks, clothes hangers, laundry detergent, towels and other personal bathroom supplies, and a month's worth of clothing.

Along with a place to stay, Hope is Alive provides an active schedule. Participants enroll in a local 12-Step Facilitation program, find full-time employment nearby, and participate in optional adventure outings like ski trips and retreats. Residents attend monthly in-house mentor meetings, a local church, a Sunday evening house meeting, a Monday night Bible study, and a Wednesday group meeting. The meetings are at 6:30 p.m. local time. They customize the curriculum to meet residents' needs, and they can help with legal issues. In addition, residents can serve the community once a month.

Hope is Alive's sober living program lasts 12-18 months, and most residents stay the full 18 months. The program charges $650 for monthly rent and $750 for the one-time move-in.

Hope is Alive operates houses in Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Claremore, OK; Weatherford, OK; Wichita, KS; Overland Park, KS; Kansas City, MO; and Dallas-Fort Worth, TX. They provide exact addresses for the houses during the admission process. Men and women stay at separate houses.

To ensure sobriety, Hope is Alive performs random drug tests.
