The Village of Hope is a ten month in residence Christian Drug and Alcohol regeneration program for men located in Northern Estonia and Eastern Canada. From our experience we have come to believe that the only way to freedom from addiction is through a desire to be free and a personal relationship with the Lord. Being a Christ centered recovery program is distinctly different than secular approaches. The skills learned from the scientific community are definitely present in the program but the main focus is a man’s relationship with God and his need for reconciliation and spiritual healing. The Village of Hope program offers long-term residential treatment to substance abuse addicts, which is divided into distinct levels which a man moves through in block movements. Alongside the program is the Recovery church that the men are also required to attend and actively participate.
