“Let’s Be For Real” Radio Show

It all started while mowing the lawn. That’s when our President and CEO, John-Mark Hack, conceived the idea for “Let’s Be for Real.” This vision grew into a radio show hosted by The Healing Place, designed to share valuable resources with our community. Centered on stories of restoration, the show features those leading the way […]


How Narcan Saved My Life

By: Bethany Baumann, Alumni

My name is Bethany. I am a heroin addict. I have been clean for four years now. I can’t say that I will ever not be an addict because when it comes to opiates, I cannot stop. Before I found opiates, I was an angsty teen who loved trouble. As a kid, I moved around, […]


Transitional Care at The Healing Place

By: Roger Davis

The Healing Place recovery program isn’t just about getting sober. It’s designed to help clients live a sober life and maintaining their sobriety once they leave our campus. Moving from the structure of The Healing Place traditional program to the next step in recovery can be a daunting task. We have been clean and sober […]


A Happy, Joyous, Free, Sober Life

By: Carrie Knott

My name is Carrie, and I am an alcoholic. My sobriety date is April 24th, 2018, my sponsor is Mandie S., and this morning when I woke up, I made a deep and personal commitment to stay clean and sober, just for today. I stumbled into detox at The Healing Place on April 23rd, 2018. […]


A Bed in Detox

By: Immanuel Guest

On June 29, 2018, I woke up in a bed in detox at The Healing Place. Having arrived in a blackout state, I struggled to piece together the events of the previous day. There was a vague recollection of a friend searching my apartment for clean clothes. I also remember clutching a bottle of vodka […]

Every day, men and women are coming through the doors of The Healing Place looking for one thing, hope. Hope that things in life will get better. Hope that it is possible to stop using drugs or alcohol. Hope that someone will help them. The hope about each of these things, and so much more, […]


Unconditional Love

By: Courtney Weisshaupt

People don’t usually decide to come to detox because they are having a good day or because things in life are going well. Often, people are coming through the doors of detox on what they might consider to be one of their worst days. Our clients are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and remorse […]


THP Model in an Outpatient Setting

By: Richard Keeper

I love working at The Healing Place, and as an alumnus of the traditional long-term recovery program, I have learned to love myself and others as well. When I completed the program, I joined the amazing team in Outpatient Services, which takes The Healing Place’s peer-driven social model of recovery and puts it in an […]


The Spirit of The Healing Place

By: Jay Davidson, Executive Chairman

As I look to the what’s ahead for The Healing Place this new year, I must reflect on this past year. 2021 was filled with challenges at every turn. Like everyone in our community, we continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it was a long and difficult year, the Spirit of The […]


Paying It Forward

By: Keenan Beckhart

I came to The Healing Place in 2015 because I had nowhere else to turn. I was using drugs and had basically lost everything I had. I had no money, no home, and no friends left. When I walked through the doors of The Healing Place Women’s Campus, they didn’t ask many questions. All they […]
