What sets House of Hope Piedmont apart from other residential treatment programs is that we encourage and require the participation of all families from the beginning. Each resident will complete an initial orientation period upon arriving at House of Hope Piedmont to get acquainted with the program, and they will be allowed to make weekly phone calls home at an assigned time. Visits are permitted on a routinely scheduled basis as well after the completion of the orientation phase throughout the duration of the resident’s stay.
How much does House of Hope Piedmont cost?
House of Hope Piedmont is a non-profit organization that does not accept insurance or government funding and has set the price to be reasonable for the quality therapeutic care your daughter will receive. House of Hope Piedmont has a standard monthly tuition rate that has been calculated to ensure your daughter will receive the best care while with us. However, we understand that not all families are able to meet that standard monthly tuition rate, so we do offer a sliding scale that is based on the family’s income level. If funding is available, House of Hope Piedmont can offer scholarships to assist with this rate for those who qualify. The monthly tuition rate covers expenses related to your daughter’s schooling, room and board, counseling sessions, transportation, and most activities.

House of Hope Piedmont is a Christian-based organization providing a comprehensive residential treatment program for teenage girls. Our staff is committed to following and honoring Jesus Christ through our words, actions and deeds in our relationship with all people. We will introduce and teach your child the principles of scripture and the Christian faith, but we will in no way force any kind of beliefs or conversion on them.
If my daughter does not want to come, can she be Involuntarily placed at House of Hope Piedmont?

What is required of me as a family member of a resident at House of Hope Piedmont?
House of Hope Piedmont’s program works best if the families live within a 2-hour distance from our campus to ensure that they will be able to commute to our campus. Our families may be traveling to our campus 2-3 times per week to attend their counseling sessions, parenting sessions, and visitations with their daughters. We also want to ensure that your daughter understands that you’re just as committed to the program as she is by being committed and supportive of her through each phase of the process, attending church weekly, and providing documentation to your House of Hope Piedmont counselor. If you do not have a home church, we are willing to assist with finding a church that would be a good match for you and your family. Our families are also required to commit to paying for their counseling sessions and paying the monthly tuition on time to ensure that their daughter is able to remain in and complete the program.
