We are excited to come together with the City of Refuge community once again to celebrate the progress we’ve made as an organization and to share our vision for the future. We are proud of all that we have accomplished this year and can’t wait to share it with you. We have big plans for the rest of 2025 and into 2026, but none of it is possible without you! Your support helps us to continue to address the plight of addiction that Hopewell and the Tri-Cities area are facing. Join us for a night filled with great food, fellowship, and fun! Save the date!
WHO WE ARE
City of Refuge is a faith-based drug recovery center that desires to bring opportunity and hope to individuals and families of Hopewell, the Tri-Cities, and surrounding areas by offering supportive services, recovery, job placement assistance and connection to high quality early childhood education so that individuals will rise up to meet their potential and our community’s families will find success and hope for their future.
ABOUT US
OUR PROGRAMS
CoR: Hopewell Recovery Center
We are a Peer-led, 9-month recovery program open to anyone earnestly seeking recovery. Using a best practice model of recovery support, we lead our participants through cognitive-behaviorally based activities of self-discovery and skill building while holding them accountable and providing community supports to help them find their pathway to recovery. Additionally, we are a Court diversion program using a sanctioned system, which means we work with local court systems to provide an alternative sentencing model for those caught in the cycle and behaviors often associated with addiction.
