Recovery Innovations Freise Hope House

Description

Recovery Innovations Freise HOPE House:

For us HOPE stands for . . . Helping Others through Peer Empowerment. Our house is a short-term, voluntary, mental health crisis residential program, licensed by the State of California. It is modeled after the Recovery Innovations Peer-operated Living Room program in Phoenix, Arizona. Here we focus on the Recovery Principles of hope, encouragement, empowerment, focusing on strengths and community integration. We are able to welcome 14 guests for up to 30 days providing individuals in crisis an alternative to inpatient hospitalization. It is an opportunity for our guests to transform current experiences and barriers into skills and abilities. We also provide a collaborative team consisting of Recovery Innovations, Kern County Mental Health and Bethany Services, which presents our guests with a unique opportunity to have a direct link to the support they need to achieve their goals and to connect to services such as, housing, doctors, medication services, and employment.
