About Walter Hoving Home

Walter Hoving Home is a faith-based recovery program in Garrison, New York. Since 1967, they’ve provided a welcoming environment for women to hone in on recovery and build everlasting connections. Their program emphasizes the significance of building a relationship with God to aid in recovery.

What stands out most to me is their outstanding campus. They create the ideal atmosphere to step away from daily triggers and focus on healing. The serene landscapes, rivers, waterfalls and rolling hills of Upstate New York will surround you. You’ll live next to a Tudor mansion on the hilltop with beautiful architecture, a large chapel and two large dorms for residents. They provide a comfortable space for privacy, relaxation and reflection.

As a ministry of Adult and Teen Challenge, their long term program uses Biblical principles and proven interventions to promote long term recovery. You may participate in individual and group counseling, parenting classes, peer support groups, addiction education and relapse prevention training. They might also offer vocational rehab, recreational activities and anger management.

Another incredible feature I noticed is their emphasis on building a relationship with God. Their programs foster spiritual growth by helping you connect with a higher power. You’ll benefit from learning more about God and forming an intimate relationship that can help you sustain recovery.

I also love that their program is founded on family concepts. They strive to help you feel at home and open up in treatment. They offer a welcoming community where you can connect with other women on similar paths and grow together. You’ll learn from other women, respect each other, and help each other in challenging times. That way, you’ll leave their program with a mutually beneficial network of peers.

The Hoving Home provided a safe place for me to heal from the hurts, hang up-s and habits that kept me from being a contributing member of society.

Jesus and the Hoving Home have completely transformed my life, and I am incredibly grateful for this life-changing ministry. I’ve been through countless detoxes and programs, but nothing ever truly helped me until now. I encourage you to take a chance on something different—you are loved, and there is hope for you too.

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.

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.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

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.
