Real Hope for Addiction

Isaiah House holds second graduation of 2019

The Isaiah House treatment center held its second graduation ceremony of 2019 on Saturday, Jan. 26, at First Christian Church in Danville, celebrating the accomplishments of 63 men and women.

The Christ-centered drug and alcohol treatment center saw 29 clients graduate from the phase one portion of the program, and an additional 17 clients graduated from the transformation program. The transformation program consists of clients who have completed eight months of residential treatment and three months of aftercare. One client graduated from the Restoration Program.

This was the first graduation that included women who completed the program at Isaiah House’s Lisa Walker Center in Harrodsburg. Ten women that completed the program were recognized for their accomplishments.

This graduation was attended by more than 400 people.

Lisa Walker Center holds grand opening

Monday, April 29, was a day of celebration for Isaiah House in Mercer County as we celebrated the grand opening of the Lisa Walker Center. Several members of the Mercer County community came out to celebrate the grand opening. Several dignitaries were on hand as well, such as Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear who spoke at the ceremony, Kentucky Auditor of Public Accounts Mike Harmon, Mercer County Judge Executive Milward Dedman, State Sen. Rick Girdler, Stephanie Nelson with U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell’s office and Kylie Foushee Hubbard with U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie’s Office.

Isaiah House President Mike Cox and Human Resources Supervisor Melissa Howard spoke at the ceremony and attendees were invited to tour the facility before and after the ribbon cutting ceremony. We are thankful for everyone who attended and celebrated with us!

Isaiah House goes to Atlanta

Isaiah House Treatment Center hit the road and traveled to Atlanta for the National Rx Drug Abuse and Heroin Summit. Desria Horn, Kevin Horn, VP of Programs and Joanna Early attended the four-day summit, sharing how Isaiah House is providing real hope for addiction.

IH guys attend the NFL Draft in Nashville

The annual National Football League (NFL) Draft made its way to Nashville this year, spanning three days and bringing record crowds to the city. Several of the guys from Isaiah House were able to work security for the event, providing an amazing experience they otherwise may not have been able to have. Thank you to all the generous donors who gave in order to make sure the guys had the clothes they needed for this event.
