Valley Hope of Moundridge

The most monumental event in my entire adult life. My 45 days in Moundridge opened doors for me that will never be closed again. I walked through those double glass doors, merely hoping to learn how to live without booze. But, I came away from treatment with way, way more than that. My experience at Valley Hope literally brought me back to life with an enthusiasm I've not felt since I began drinking 47 years ago. Prior to August 4th, 2023, I believed that whiskey had defeated me and that I was destined to die a tragic skid-row drunk's death, face down in the gutter.
As of today, I'm a mere 91 days away from my last drink. And, though I was once hopeless, broken, and defeated, today nothing in my life seems impossible.
My gratitude for Valley Hope's program and entire staff, especially my primary counselor, is boundless. Thank you all for teaching me how to believe in myself again.
Hats off to the valley of hope!

Valley Hope of Moundridge will always hold a special place in my heart. The comfort of the facility and their accommodations gave me a sense of home that I had been missing for a long time prior to arriving. As I started my road to recovery, it was not only the comfort of the facility that was so special, but the sense of security and support that I received from the staff. Everyone played such a crucial role in getting my path going. The warm reception I received from the initial call, to the medical staff who watched over and cared for me during a very hard detox, then the Chaplin and counseling staff that opened my heart to what recovery meant. Even the administrative, facility maintenance, and kitchen staff took an invested stake in my recovery, supporting me and encouraging me the whole way through. What was even more paramount to my recovery and giving me the chance to have long term sobriety was what Valley Hope offered after I left their facility. The IOP and Continuing Care services helped me through not only the hard times during the first year of my sobriety, but overall some of the hardest situations that I had every faced. Without the support they provided, the likely-hood of a relapse would have been extremely high. But the best part of Valley Hope I feel is the sense of "WE recover together". Through the Renewal Days, weekly alumni meetings and numerous recovery related events throughout the year put on by staff dedicated to making sure that we stay connected and engaged, I always feel like a part of a group of warriors fighting the battle of addiction. Thank you Valley Hope of Moundridge for fostering the spiritual awaking that has led to a 16 inch drop that has forever changed my life.

I went to Valley hope in November. I wasn't sure what my expectations were. I know I was at a place in my life where I wanted change. When I got there I was at peace. The admission process was painless. The staff was great. I started in on sessions with in the first couple hours of being there. The counselors are extremely good. The kitchen staff was great. They were always looking out for people with diet restrictions. I can't say enough good things about the nursing staff. They are rockstars. My overall experience was excellent. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. I owe my sobriety to Valley hope

November 14, 2013:

My DOC (drug of choice): alcohol.

I entered the doors of Valley Hope at Moundridge, KS. I was angry and felt hurt (by my own mess making of course). Long story short, this place saved my life! If it wasn’t for VH that date I typed above would’ve been my death date. I was given the gift of desperation that they talk about! So far I have been continuously sober with no relapses since I entered that facility, which is 3,710 days sober…and counting.
I was blessed to be able to come back 10 years later to share my experience, strength, and hope to the residents inside. Valley Hope takes great care of their residents and staff! During my stay the staff were nice to everyone. The staff of course have changed since I’ve been there, and now I have friends in recovery with long time sobriety that work there and they are killin it!!
I hope I never have to walk back through those doors a drunk, but I know if I do, those doors are always open for me and anyone else struggling with addiction and needs help!! It’s possible, one day at a time!

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please reach out! Valley Hope has many facilities in Kansas and out of state.

(Photos: from addiction - to rehab - to 10 years sobriety selfie - my 10 year sobriety coin which had 80 years on it before my sponsor gave it to me - now 90 years. And when my sponsee reaches 10 years how cool is it I get to give them their coin and make it 100 years of sobriety in one coin?! Mind blowing! Last photo is a t-shirt my beau gave me!)

Great place that changes lives. The structure and environment they provide is phenomenal. The transition from inpatient to intensive outpatient to aftercare is amazing. They truly do care about your success and support you every step of the way throughout your recovery. If I ever feel like I’m struggling I know I can reach out and they will do everything they can to make sure I can thrive in recovery.

If it wasn’t for Valley Hope I would be dead. On Sept 2,2023 I was lifewatched to a Wichita hospital, on Sept 27,2023 I arrived at Valley Hope. I was confused as to why I was there, I wasn’t ready to admit I had a problem. My first 45 days was all a blur. I relapsed in November and made the decision to return to Valley Hope, Dec 27,2023. From the moment I walked through the heaviest door of my life, I knew I was home and exactly where I needed to be. The next 45 days were something I still struggle to put into words. I found myself more engaged in the program as I completely surrendered to the program and to God. The staff was phenomenal, from the front office, nurses, cooks, Chaplin to my counselor. I am proud to say that I’m 100 days sober and my addiction is my sobriety. Valley Hope will always be my safe place and a place I call home. The staff hold a special place in my heart and I will be forever grateful for the life changing event.

I went in September of 23. And it was the best thing I could have ever done. Valley Hope provided me with tons of information on how to reach a mindset to be and stay sober. The staff was always kind and always helpful in resolving any questions that I had inquiring about moving forward with my life. The facility is very clean and upkept. The food was better than I expected it to be. Going through the inpatient treatment changed my life for the way better. If you have any doubts, do your self a favor and put them aside and take a step toward a better life. If you want it. You can have it.

Valley Hope helped me save my own life! They have wonderful, experienced staff members who all want to help. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get (and stay) sober! I will be forever grateful for Valley Hope, and all of the staff who helped get me to where I am today.

Excellent staff and facilities. Entire staff is committed to meeting you where you are and takes personal interest in each persons recovery. Very happy that I chose Valley Hope. A definite life changing experience.

This place is amazing! Going here was the hardest but best thing I have ever done! Everyone at this facility was amazing! The counselor’s and nursing staff was top notch! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

On June 21st I was sent from a hospital emergency room to Valley Hope in Moundridge. “What happened and how did I end up here?” I kept asking myself.
I knew I was an alcoholic but would never admit that my life was unmanageable even though I was 58 years old, a husband, father, and grandfather and estranged from my family and living out of my old pick up truck.
As I was helped through the front door of the facility I couldn’t believe what I was experiencing. What I thought would be a lockdown facility where I would be shamed into soberity I was witnessing a very caring staff that was concerned about me. And the building, wow, was so modern and welcoming as well.
As I got to know other patients, I realized I wasn’t the only one in this dire situation. As the days progressed I anticipated my meetings with my counselor, chaplain, Big Group, Small group workshops and also the social aspects of my stay.
One of the most important parts however was my wife was able to come join me and we both learned together that addition was a disease and I wasn’t the terrible person I had convinced myself I was.
I am forever greatful for my time there and hope in some small way I might be able to pass on what I am still experiencing in sobriety to the next person.

Great environment, great staff, great food (indeed!), great place for you to create YOUR program for sobriety and renewal once you leave and return to YOUR life outside the walls of the treatment center. There is no magic pill. The environment at Valley Hope warmly guides and teaches patients the value and practice of self accountability from the very first day. The combination of milieu therapy and intensive individual and small group counseling teaches self regulation, routine, and support, while helping each patient begin to process the tough individual issues that coexist with the disease of addiction. You will get out of this what you put into it — Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

My brother entered treatment earlier this year, and as of this writing has been 85 days sober. I can't thank the staff enough for the moral support and guidance they have given him..but I will - thank you.

I am so glad I went to valley hope in moundridge ks. It is a really good treatment place and the staff is awesome there. It has saved my life.

This place changed my life and I'm so proud to share the joy that I have gained since attending treatment there! The staff have a different level of concern and passion. My experience there changed my life forever for the better

I've been in several treatment facilities and this place was fantastic. The staff genuinely cares about everyone's recovery and the nurses were so accomodating and supportive. For sure highly recommended!!

Where do I begin with this place, this place gave me my life, family and the knowledge to carry on sober and live happy. The staff is unbeatable, simply because they care, and they show you they care. And they have Yoga. 😉

I had a wonderful stay, the counselors snd nurses helped me a lot while I was there and they all helped me realize what I was struggling with most.

Amazing treatment center. Intelligent and caring staff that truly knows how to help with addiction. Would highly recomend to anyone searching for help.

My experience at Valley Hope was life changing, the staff, accommodations, food and recovery program are amazing ❤
