Sarah's Path to Recovery

Portrait representing Sarah's recovery journey

Sarah had been living on the streets for five years, struggling with addiction and untreated PTSD. Multiple attempts at recovery had failed because she lacked stable housing. Harbor of Hope changed that equation.

Through our Recovery and Wellness Program, Sarah received trauma-informed counseling and medication-assisted treatment while living in our transitional housing. A peer support specialist with her own recovery experience walked alongside Sarah every step of the way.

A Life Transformed

Today Sarah has been sober for two years and lives in her own apartment. She recently completed her peer support certification and now works at the Harbor Wellness Center, helping others on their recovery journeys.
