How Narcan Saved My Life

By: Bethany Baumann, Alumni

My name is Bethany. I am a heroin addict. I have been clean for four years now. I can’t say that I will ever not be an addict because when it comes to opiates, I cannot stop. Before I found opiates, I was an angsty teen who loved trouble. As a kid, I moved around, […]


Transitional Care at The Healing Place

The Healing Place Way

By: Heather Gibson, Vice President of Program Services

The Healing Place is a unique place. We have our own language, practices, and beliefs.

We don’t talk about how we’re going to help or […]

On June 29, 2018, I woke up in a bed in detox at The Healing Place. Having arrived in a blackout state, I struggled to piece together the events of the previous day.

Unconditional Love

By: Courtney Weisshaupt, Detox Manager

People don’t usually decide to come to detox because they are having a good day or because things in life are going well. Often, people are coming through the doors of detox on what they might consider to be one of their worst days. Our clients are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and remorse […]


Peace of Mind and a New Way of Living

By: Rickie Glaab, Outpatient Services Peer Mentor

Since being in recovery, I now have a peace of mind and a new way of living. I have a new outlook on life thanks to The Healing Place and its intensive outpatient program. They believed in me when I did not believe in myself, or anything else. I ended up on the doorstep at […]


THP Model in an Outpatient Setting

When I completed the program, I joined the amazing team in Outpatient Services, which takes The Healing Place’s peer-driven social model of recovery and puts it in an […]
