What makes Valley Hope unique?
I believe it is a combination of things. It is our treatment of patients with respect, dignity and compassion, combined with a spiritual emphasis, that makes us unique.
How has your experience at Valley Hope affected you personally?
It has given me a better understanding of addiction, and helped me be more compassionate toward people caught up in addiction.
What is your favorite step?
My favorite step is the 5th step, because I’ve seen, almost without exception, the freedom and hope that it brings when people get honest and admit their wrongs.
Why does Valley Hope encourage patients to engage in a 12 Step program?
I’m not sure the official reason, but I believe it’s because it works when people get serious and use it as part of their recovery.
Describe a recovery story that has moved you.
I can’t point to a particular one, but there is usually something about every patient’s story that moves me, particularly when I see them lower than low without hope when they come in, and then see the transformation that happens when they realize they are not alone and not hopeless, and then they leave with confidence and hope. Then they come back in a year and get their cup…and then, still radiating hope and confidence, come back on successive anniversaries and get another cup. That has brought tears of hope and confidence to me!
How do chaplains work with patients?
I can’t speak for the other chaplains, but my wise guy response was going to be, “carefully.” Then I realized that probably is descriptive of how I approach each patient…with care and compassion (and prayer). And then, it’s a matter of meeting them where they are and working through the first 7 or 8 steps and applying everything to them and their situation.
Why is spirituality essential to recovery?
I believe it is because a person cannot do this by themselves. We need help on the journey of recovery, and that includes from other people as well as God (as we understand Him).
