Hope Church offers a safe place to get support for those struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction, as well as their families. Alcoholism and drug addiction affect the entire family, and a support group can help. Addiction support groups are often integral to the recovery process. Surrounding yourself with people facing the same struggles provides much-needed support for a lasting recovery. There are a number of groups who meet weekly at Hope Church.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS (Sponsor: AA)

Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA)
ACA is a 12 Step program that focuses on emotional sobriety. We were all profoundly affected by the dysfunction in our families of origin, whether alcohol was present in the home or not. Consequently, we developed a set of “laundry list” traits that helped us survive that experience. These traits may have been adaptive at the time but have now come to substantially disrupt our lives. We recover by “working our program.”
Discussion: Sundays, 7:00 PM • Room 234
HEROIN ANONYMOUS
Heroin Anonymous (HA) is a fellowship of men and women who have found a better way of life, free from heroin addiction. Our fellowship is based on a twelve-step program of recovery—and if you wish to join us, we are here to share what we have found. There are no dues or fees for membership; the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop suffering from heroin addiction. We are here to assist the next person seeking help with their own addiction.
Discussion: Saturday, 12:00 PM • Room 230
