About Residing Hope

Residing Hope in Enterprise, Florida, is a Christ centered organization that believes children are healed and restored through God’s love. This organization is recognized by Eagle, Florida Department of Children and Families, Charity Navigator, Methodist Ministries Network, GuideStar Exchange, TFA and Social Current.
The center is funded through planned giving, gifts and bequests. They provide residential care, foster care, outpatient counseling and other services.

Outpatient Treatment for Substance Use Disorders and Trauma

Outpatient behavioral health services offer counseling for adults and children for substance use and traumatic life events. The goal is to avoid future placement of children in foster or residential care. Trauma focused mental health therapy treats individuals and their families. Their therapists specialize in trauma services.

Residential Services for Children

Some children in residential care have been removed from the home. Supervised visits between children and parents are in a therapeutic setting to promote healing during the visits.

Residential Care is not for substance abuse disorders but rather for children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned. Trauma informed therapy is conducted by an assigned therapist.

The school aged boys and girls at the facility are in a group living family style residence referred to as “home.” Montessori education is offered to the children through eighth grade. The program is accredited by the Council on Accreditation.

Resale Shop Support

Residing Hope accepts new and gently used items for their Heart and Home Resale Shop. All proceeds support the children and programs.

I'm making a review for my friend who lives with me now because she won't. She hated it. Staff seem to be caught up in their own personal issues and seem to take their anger out in the form of grounding kids because they're too soft with their own feelings from what I've heard. Rules seem stupid from what I've heard from 2 people who went there.

The childrens home helped me allot when I needed a place to stay while I finished highschool in the 18+ program. My parents abandoned me when I was 17 and i dealt with allot of abuse and neglect previously. As such I had very bad anxiety and PTSD and I didn't know allot of basic skills and needed help. Their school was amazing and gave me allot of experiences I'd never give up however the adults facility offered me very little besides a roof over my head. The staff was terrible to me they constantly bullied me and installed a constant fear of becoming homeless by consistently threatening to kick me out over even the smallest of mistakes. One of the staff members hates me and she made it widely known she would consistently tell me to shut up said I talked to much even when I was talking to my friends within the house. Punished me any chance she got and did her best to get me kicked out. I became so fearful of the staff that I hid in my room then I was chastised for not being friendly enough and told I was rude for not saying hello to staff. When I made the smallest mistake I was taken into a tiny office with 3-4 staff members who would all yell at me and tell me how horrible I was for whatever reason. The boys in the house bullied me (even so much as telling me to kill myself publicly) and when I spoke up about it I was punished. Then when I moved out I was gone for a week and came back to get my stuff and they tried to charge me for not doing my chores in the house despite the fact that I had moved out. I give the childrens home 2 stars only because it was slightly better than being on the street

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

My time being there had been like hell. I can’t believe that y’all really taking up for this place. It’s like a juvenile home. They let you do nothing. I have never been to a worser placement than this. They make you things you don’t want to do and if you don’t you get into trouble

Purpose driven people with a mission focus are the best fit. Real life change happens for kids. A long history of evidence based treatment and family style care.

I am shocked by what I am reading .. I had a life changing experience when I was a teenager. Mom and Pop Earhart were fantastic. Jan Lucas (May she rest in peace) was the secretary and she cared so much — helped me out of my teenage funk. God Bless

If this place was so wonderful, why do children run away from it? I feel for the children that are shipped off to these type of places. They were ripped from their parents. In many cases these institutes omit facts to keep children in order to secure more funding.

Great place. It had its ups and downs. I learned a great deal here and I had 2 really great house parents. I was placed here 02”-04” . They really took good care of us. Kids run away all of the time so it’s nothing new here. I agree with the other comment it’s not the campuses fault. Very fond memories staying at the children’s home and I was lucky and fortunate enough to have this as a emergency placement for myself.

I visited the Children's Home last year and was given a tour by Yvonne L. and was followed up with a lunch with Director Kitwana M....the tour really gave me the impression that the Home and grounds were well maintained and poised for future growth....the leadership qualities of Kitwana were very apparent during the lunch and I came away with the feeling that both the Home and the future of FUMCH were in good hands

I grew up there. It basically changed my life. I loved it. They have everything a kid needs (including discipline lol). Yes, they might have kids who run away and get into their own situations but why is it the campus’ fault? Its not. Its the kids that decide to run away. Because if they didn’t, those two kids wouldnt be in their situation right now would they? Yeah. It was awesome. Definitely 5 stars!
