About The HopeLine

Compassionate Support for Recovery

At the HopeLine, we walk alongside individuals and families facing the challenges of substance use disorder, offering hope, compassion, and practical support every step of the way. Our team meets individuals where they are—on the streets, at their homes, in shelters, or from incarceration—to help them take the first step toward recovery.

We work in five counties across Southwest Ohio (Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Clinton, and Montgomery) to bridge gaps between crisis and care, guiding clients into treatment and staying connected as they build new lives in recovery.

Recovery isn’t a straight path, and no one should have to walk it alone. That’s why our support is free, ongoing, and rooted in relationships that build trust, reduce barriers, and walk with people through every stage of the journey.

Empowering Recovery

Care Navigation: Your First Step Toward Recovery

When you call the HopeLine, you’ll be connected with a Care Coordinator who’s ready to listen, without pressure, without judgment. You don’t need to have all the answers or the perfect words. Just reaching out is a powerful first step.

Your conversation can remain anonymous, and we don’t report to outside agencies. You’re in control of what you share.

Our Care Coordinators are here to help with the questions that can feel overwhelming. We’ll walk with you at your pace, offering honest guidance and connecting you to care that fits your life.

We can help you understand:

What to do if you or someone you care about is struggling with substance use, whether involving alcohol, prescription medications, or other drugs.
How detox works and where to find safe, supportive medical care.
What treatment options are available, including low-cost or free programs, and how to access them.
What support looks like after treatment, and how to build a recovery plan that works for you.

You don’t have to be “ready.” You just have to start.

You’re not alone. Let’s take the first step together.

Continuing Care: Support That Stays With You

Recovery doesn’t end after treatment, and neither does our support. Our Continuing Care Coordinators are here to walk alongside you in your first year after treatment, when staying on track can feel especially hard.

We check in regularly to offer encouragement, help you stay motivated, and adjust your recovery plan as life changes. If you feel like you’re slipping or unsure what to do next, we’re here to talk it through—no shame, no judgment.

Your recovery journey is personal, and our goal is to make sure you never feel like you’re doing it alone.

We help you:

Regular check-ins to stay connected and focused on your goals.
When you feel stuck or face setbacks, we’ll provide guidance and help you explore your options.
Referrals to transitional housing, employment, mental health, or peer support resources.
Advocacy if you’re having trouble accessing care or need someone in your corner.

You’ve done the hard work of starting recovery. We’ll help you keep moving forward—one step at a time.
