Congratulations, finding this site confirms your decision to consider making a change for yourself, or maybe you are trying to help a loved one.

Your Hope Here takes a holistic approach to addiction recovery treatment or other pressing mental health issues like depression, relationship problems (romantic, family, work, etc.) and/or grief & loss. An holistic approach means that we address Mind, Body & Spirit. The Mind is treated through talk therapy, mindfulness based practices and intentional living. The Body is treated through nutrition, fitness and healthy lifestyles. The Spirit is treated through individual spiritual practices (non-religious or religious), that provide genuine connection and service with family, friends and community.

One of the main things that Your Hope Here will do for you is always tell you the truth, even when it is hard to hear. The first truth is that while millions have recovered from active addiction and other debilitating mental health issues, millions more have died, been killed, or worse killed someone else and unfortunately many people suffering from addiction and mental health issues commit suicide because it is simply too painful to live anymore in the prison that addiction, trauma and loss creates.

Active addiction and suffering from many types of mental health issues is a form of bondage that prevents people from being the person they want to be and living the life they want to live. The good news is that there is a solution and you are taking the first step. Recovery starts with Hope, even if it is just a tiny speck, it is the starting point to believing that change is possible, and the reality is that millions of people have recovered from active addiction in substances and behaviors.

Blaise Rastello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Addiction Counselor that has been working in addiction and mental health treatment and recovery since 2012. Blaise also has been on a journey of recovery himself, and has been sharing the hope and experience he has gained, but also the most current Evidence Based, Practice Based and Best Practice methods and modalities of addiction recovery in use today. Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy are among the various modalities that are currently being used.

Just as there are many rivers that eventually end up in the ocean, there are many paths and options available to end up free from active addiction or mental health challenges and be able to live a peaceful, joyous and free life dominated by choices they make, consciously, deliberately and with intention.

Recovery is challenging, sometimes painful and demands constant attention and fine tuning. That is where Your Hope Here comes in, we help guide individuals and families to stay the course.
