Physical. Mental. Spiritual.

The desert is an environment of dangerous extremes. Certainly, the choices made in the desert are of life and death.

At New Hope Recovery Ranch, located in Silver Springs, NV, the desert is the perfect setting for recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. Rebirth into a God-centered life is the ultimate result.

 

New Hope Recovery Ranch is a non-denominational, Christ-centered, long-term residency program for men that allows recovering alcoholics and addicts to set aside much-needed time and effort to focus on what is causing the downward spiral—and teaches them to claw their way back up. Residents focus on asking, considering, and responding to life’s basic questions—and quickly determining God has all of the answers.

 

According to Pastor Rick McKinney, “Healing at New Hope includes spiritual, mental, and physical healing. You’re feeding your mind, body, and spirit here. When you feed these, you’re going to get well.”

 

New Hope Recovery Ranch integrates miracles from three sources—The Bible, the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, and animal therapy. Residents spend a minimum of six months on campus at no cost to them. Recovering alcoholics and addicts stay in the residency program for up to one year, learning about the all-encompassing love of Jesus Christ and the awesome power of the Holy Spirit.

 

Since 2000, New Hope Recovery Ranch has ministered to more than 600 residents, with an impressive success rate.

Three Tenets of New Hope Recovery Ranch

The Bible
The Word truly has the power to heal. Residents of the New Hope Recovery Ranch program have the opportunity to delve deeply into the Scriptures and learn of God’s love for all. For the first 30 days of the program, there is no contact with the outside world. There is only time for studying God’s word and finding the inner strength to overcome the throes of addiction. The Word and the Holy Spirit work together to build faith—and recovery.

12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous
The credo of AA is to help members “stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.” The highly successful 12-step AA program is an integral part of the unique program at New Hope Recovery Ranch. With the help of the Word and the Holy Spirit, the truth of the 12 steps provides residents with another tool in the toolbox as they work their way toward sobriety.

Animal Therapy
Animals are a miraculous source of unconditional love and respect. At the Ranch, the horses, goats, dogs, and cats teach the residents responsibility, how to develop self-confidence, and give them a deeply-rooted sense of pride in a job well done.

 

According to McKinney, “Animals help break down emotional walls of denial and anger. They allow us to back off and refocus, offering a mental time-out.”

A typical day at the Ranch begins at 5 a.m. with Bible study, meditation, AA readings, and uplifting prayer. Residents spend the rest of the day tending to the animals, cleaning the ranch house, cooking meals, working on other local ranches, or volunteering for senior citizens in town. Every day at New Hope Recovery Ranch is an effort to ease the residents back into a normal and productive life. Praise to God, the effort works.
