I went to CSS, it changed my life. It feels good to be clean and sober. I love the clean and sober dances gogo music. If God permits I'll come there to volunteer.

Excellent Supervisor

Great program

Great place to go if you have an addiction problem.

I love this program so much and it really help if you willing to put the foot work into what you are exactly looking for!!!!

As a photographer being at loose ends awaiting a Peace Corps assignment in Africa, Ron asked me to set up a photo program, and build a darkroom to encourage people in the RAP program to develop those skills to help take their minds off heroin. In the process I witnessed some pretty harrowing cold turkey withdrawal by young folks on a couch just outside the darkroom. Unforgettable. If I remember, RAP was then located up behind the Hilton in Adams Morgan.

I love this program it is awesome very spiritual

I have been at Good Hope Institute for almost 6 years, and in my opinion it's no better and no worse than any other methadone maintenance program. I've been on methadone maintenance for over 30 years and have been at many different facilities, so I believe I know a good one from a bad one. At GHI, you get from it what you put into it. If you want to get clean and stay clean you can; if you want maintenance you can do that, or you can detox. No one is getting rich from keeping someone on the program who doesn't want to be there. One thing you cannot do there is drift along continuing to get high and drinking methadone, and you cannot come in with a sense of entitlement or a nasty attitude and expect people to jump over hoops to do what you want. With all the addicts they're dealing with, and the turnover lately in staff yes, things can sometimes move a little slower than we'd like, but no where on earth are you going to get all your desires instantly! Sometimes you have to be patient, and this program is no different.GHI is not a bad clinic. Sometimes staff there have not been as caring as they could have been, and there have been those who had downright nasty attitudes. They're individual people though, they do not represent the whole clinic. If you want to get off opiates and you're not afraid to work to stay clean you can do it at Good Hope Institute.UPDATE: As of this year, 2019, Good Hope Institute no longer exists as such. They are a completely different clinic, run by completely different management and under a new system. Any of the posts from before, they're talking about a completely different clinic.And I still say if a person is willing to put the work in, they can get and remain clean just as well here as anywhere else.

It a pain n the ass
