Gateway of Hope | Faith-based, positive housing program in Kalispell, Montana

Taking men from brokenness to wholeness by the power and love of Jesus

Find lasting freedom from drugs and alcohol and be propelled into purpose with Gateway of Hope.

A new life. A New You

The transition from a drug and alcohol rehab program back to daily life can be daunting and problematic. Old patterns and habits can come back quickly without assistance and mentoring. At Gateway, we're committed to helping you grow spiritually so you can find lasting freedom from drugs and alcohol. In our program, you will live in a fully furnished house. We will provide transportation to and from work, church, the grocery store, and the gym. We will help you with mentoring, counseling, financial training and accountability. You will be engaged in community with our staff and fellow brothers as you go through Bible studies, small groups, and a weekly chapel service.

At Gateway of Hope, our mission is to enable you to live a life that is rich, rewarding, and transformed by the work of Jesus Christ. Your past might be filled with regrets and mistakes, but you will find a new life through our program. We will walk alongside you every step of the way to ensure long term success in all dimensions of your life.

Safe Housing

More than housing

Gateway of Hope provides the safety net of accountability and structure that is so critical in early recovery. The staff and mentors that are involved with you genuinely care about your growth and development. And like any good mentor or coach, we are more concerned about your long-term success and growth than taking the easy path. We want to help equip you to walk out the unique mission and calling that God has on your life. Our deep involvement in your life is the main thing that sets us apart from other transitional programs....

We are also unique in how we handle transportation. We drive you to and from work every day until you get your license back. After that, you will have an available vehicle to use for work while saving up money to buy your own. These incremental steps toward personal freedom will allow you the chance to prove to yourself and others that you are growing and healing from your past.

In addition to transportation, we also host our own meetings in a separate building on the property. These meetings allow those from outside Gateway to engage with you and the other men staying with us. This is a vital opportunity to engage with others in a safe and healthy environment.

The Relapse Reality

The stats are scary. Very few people truly recover from addiction. In order to act differently, you have to think differently. In order to think differently, you need to have a renewed mind. In order to have a renewed mind, you need a transformed heart that only comes through the personal healing power of Jesus Christ. Your recovery starts with the heart. While your days of sobriety can be an indicator of health, it is meaningless if Jesus has not recovered and transformed your heart. That is the focus of our program. Once the heart is transformed, practical elements like safe housing, positive community, purpose filled work, transportation, and life mentoring begin to provide added stability and structure so that you don’t become a statistic.

Sustainable healing

Sustainability really means something that can reproduce itself over and over again. In the context of recovery, it means living a new life day in and day out, outside of a “program” or an institution. The new life starts when you are born again, and it continues and grows stronger as we stay in fellowship with other believers, read and do what The Word says, surrender on a daily and even hourly basis, and allow the light of the Holy Spirit access into every dark place of your life.

Don't go it alone

We were designed for family. We were created for community and connection. Most men did not have the best home life growing up. So many of us have believed the old saying that we have to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. But God laid out His design in the beginning with the family unit, and Jesus further illustrated this by teaching us, the Church, to be His body. You are a needed part of the body of Christ. You are vital. You are important. We need you, and you need us. You were created to be in a family and a part of the body of Christ. Going alone will never work. True recovery and true healing will never happen in isolation. At Gateway, we become like family because we truly are family as brothers in Christ.

Ready to answer the call?

Recovery is a long and difficult process not for the faint of heart. There have likely been many days along your recovery journey when you wanted to run back to the addictions that ensnared your life and those around you. But if you are coming to Gateway of Hope, then you have already caught a glimpse of freedom through your time in rehab. You have learned that the highs of addiction are never worth the lows. You are ready to experience that freedom every day for the rest of your life as you allow Jesus to transform your heart and life in increasing measures. You just need some help to transition between recovery and a new life that will be better than anything you’ve experienced before.

Are you ready to answer the call God has placed on your life? Are you ready to commit to the rest of your life? If so, we are here with open arms to guide you into that life.
