I would recommend this to anyone who is really seeking the better,right way of life. GOD first & healing. It's a true blessing there's hard days but the most beautiful as well. I could never repay the love, help, and guidance it gave me. I pray ,always it stays with me.

I took a train there for help in 2001. I arrived and immediately realized this was a place of tunnel vision and hierarchy. I was ready to go BUT, before I could even decide, I was kicked out. WHY? I couldn't go to rikers Island to give testimony because I had an active warrant. That should be considered given they are helping addicts. Secondly, I was pregnant. They do not provide any aide for pre-natal care. WHY? My child would be an abomination. Tunnel vision is not the only way to help women who are struggling with addiction. Turning your back on a person pleading for help and yet calling yourself a Christian organization is an oxymoron. But ya'll got paid for a minimum 90 day stay right? My recommendation is don't believe what they tell you. And if you do go, you will see.

In July, 2021 I came unto the end of myself in my addiction. I had lost my children, my home, my dignity, and the respect of pretty much any one who knew me, including myself. I was broken, tired and ashamed but I hadn't lost all hope. I heard about the Hoving Home in Garrison, New York from a very unexpected source (my dealer). At the time I wasn't looking for God, I was just looking for ways to continue to numb my pain. But when this person told me about the Hoving Home, something in me stirred. I remember looking the Hoving Home up online and feeling very drawn to this place. I saw that it was a Christ centered and faith based program focused on helping women rebuild lives that had been shattered by addiction. I just knew that I had to get to this place!!! Now mind you, Im in SC with not a dollar to my name but when I took a step of faith to get to this place, God made a way... When I got to the Hoving Home I was embraced by a loving community of a bunch of broken people just like me. I instantly felt welcomed and loved. I thought I was just coming here to get sober but I got so much more! I encountered the love of Jesus at this place like I never had before. I was completely wrecked by His love! I found a freedom, peace, and joy like I had never known. I also received much needed healing from years of pain and trauma... Upon leaving the Hoving Home I went to a half-way house and saved money to go to Bible college in Minnesota where I met and married my amazing husband Matt. From there we moved back to my home town in SC to begin the process of restoration with my children. I'm coming up on 3 years of freedom from the chains of addiction in July, 2024. And I'm still passionately burning for JESUS! None of this would have been possible without the healing and loving environment provided at the Hoving Home! I am forever grateful for the Hoving Home and the staff that dedicate their lives to helping others. They are truly the hands and feet of Jesus! I highly recommend this program to anyone struggling with addiction!!! THANK YOU HOVING HOME!!!
