Professional Profile

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?

DeMalias House of Hope, Inc. (DHH) is a non-profit organization in the state of Rhode Island offering its residents a new alternative to traditional sober living. The approach taken by DHH incorporates many components that other facilities either can’t or won’t provide their clients.

It all begins with an idea. Provide sober living equally, regardless of persons nationality, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, race, current housing or financial resources, mental illness, prescribed medication, and criminal record.

It all begins with an idea. To increase the number of sober beds in Rhode Island for the most vulnerable in our community.

It all begins with an idea. Change the current definition of treatment that are accessible to everyone.

It all begins with an idea. To reduce the stigma society maintains regarding substance abuse and mental illness.

It all begins with an idea. Employ a new approach in sober living welcoming various definitions of sobriety and various paths to achieving lasting sobriety.

It all begins with an idea. To eliminate the marginalization and discrimination people experience when asking for help.

There is always hope, and DeMalias House of Hope is here to support you on your journey to regaining control over your life, emotions, finances, and EVERYTHING else.

“Those who say they can and those who say they can’t are both usually right”

Welcome to Our Evidence Based Practices

Placeholder

Harm reduction is an evidence-based approach that is critical to engaging with people who use drugs and equipping them with life-saving tools and information to create positive change in their lives and potentially save their lives.

Placeholder

Cognitive behavioral therapy is used widely today in addiction treatment. CBT teaches those in treatment for a substance use disorder (SUD) to find connections between their thoughts, feelings, and actions and increase awareness of how these things impact recovery.

Placeholder

Trauma-informed care (TIC) is based on the idea that most people have experienced trauma and that it needs to be considered when receiving care. Trauma-informed practices can potentially improve patient engagement, treatment adherence, and health outcomes, as well as provider and staff wellness.

Cultural competence is not just about acquiring knowledge of other cultures; it’s also about understanding one’s own cultural context and the impact it has on interactions with others. Cultural Competence is defined as the ability to work effectively with people from different cultural backgrounds.
