What is Hope Is Dope?

Mission: Promoting a positive and hopeful approach to the opioid epidemic through education and outreach within a compassionate community.

Hope Is Dope is a revolutionary approach to understanding, treating, and recovering from opioid addiction. Initiated by Tracy Hack, the Coordinator of Community Leadership Initiatives at Butler Community College & based on the work of Steve Treu, a licensed professional counselor at Quantum Revolution Counseling and author of the book Hope Is Dope: Achieving Chemical Balance, along with other caring professionals and concerned citizens, our goal is simple, to help end the opioid crisis by educating the general public as well as people suffering from substance abuse issues on what the latest science is telling us about what exactly is happening inside the brain of someone suffering from addiction as well as creating a bridge for people in recovery to access various avenues to a healthy lifestyle that not only gives them a sense of community, belonging and empowerment but that is actually helps them achieve chemical balance inside the brain and restore them to a manner of living that is productive and fulfilling. Please join us in this community initiative to form a pathway of recovery that is based on love and hope.
