Sept. 10, 2024 – Hope Is Alive aims to change the lives of addicts and alcoholics by offering support groups and placing clients in homes with other people on the road to recovery. Julie Quinlan, Hope Is Alive senior program manager, says they strive to help people from the inside out.
“It’s not just getting sober. We focus on mental and physical health,” Quinlan said.
The organization is a highly structured and intentional sober living mentoring program that’s helped thousands, including Quinlan.
“I am a recovering drug addict,” she said. “I had an addiction to drugs, alcohol, you name it.”
Her drug use took control of her life in her early 20s.
“Whenever I was offered prescription opiates as a recreational drug, it just grabbed hold of me, and where some of my friends could put that down on the weekends, I couldn’t, and I ended up needing it every single day.”
