The House of Hope (HOH) is a drug
rehabilitation center (DRC) and a non-profit organization that offers a
program carefully designed in directing the change of residents
within. It aims to give ex-addicts an inner desire and strength needed for
transformation towards a new and better life. HOH is the Philippine
mission of the Helping Hand, Singapore, a Singapore-based drug
rehabilitation center with four Singaporean churches as members and
partners in mission, from where HOH gets most of its support.
HOH offers their services to
ex-addicts for free. The program lasts for eight months and is composed of
spiritual therapy and work therapy. The spiritual therapy builds the
character of the residents in areas of morality, integrity, and discipline
through daily Bible study classes. Work therapy teaches the residents to
make use of their time constructively by assigning them to kitchen duties
or secretarial work and teaching them special skills such as book binding.
HOH staff members are ex-addicts
themselves, who are more able, and more capable of empathizing with
residents undergoing rehabilitation. Drug addicts who are willing to help
themselves are welcome to be admitted at HOH. They can be reached through
the address and numbers above.
HOH accepts donations in cash or in kind, since it
offers its services to the public for free
