MASTER PROPOSAL
Executive Summary
At a grassroots level Hope Center is combining experts, tribal and local
communities, and faith based organizations with a common mission of
creating an accessible place for addicts to get stabilized prior to
treatment and the ability to maintain sobriety. Hope Center is hoping to
develop a culturally inclusive integrated approach to detoxification and
stabilization which combines Eastern, Western, and indigenous ideologies
to form a powerful and individualized treatment program. Using evidence
based best practices in an integrated format our long term goal is to
facilitate individual empowerment and engagement as a foundation for
recovery.
The need for this type of program has become increasingly urgent. The
movement has already begun, as evidenced by the article in the
Suquamish News entitled “Taking a Stand against Hard Drugs:
Council, Police and community coordinate grassroots efforts against
heroin, methamphetamines and prescription drug abuse” (Suquamish
News, March 2014). We will work with culturally inclusive populations
including the Suquamish tribal members to provide stabilization services
for Kitsap County.
We are asking you to join us and work together to develop the
program and help us by providing revenues for its design strategy.
Funding will provide revenues for consultant and staffing fees, training
materials, travel expenses for learning experiences and training, and
expenses for learning experiences and events. Our methods will include:
education/training, community partnering, development of county
extension council and staff, as well as evaluation measures.
As a new program we will create an initial set of data based off of our
results beginning the first month (12/1/14-12/31/14). Consistent
incremental collection of data and strategic planning will be ongoing.
The data (collected quantitatively) will provide indicators to measure the
results of our objectives.
As a team I believe we can combine the necessary stakeholders to
reach our goal of a safe integrative place for stabilization prior to
treatment. Together we can create immediate relief of the drug
addiction problems facing our community. Through strategic planning in
the implementation, evaluation and sustainability of the stabilization
program we can address not only the immediate needs but the
underlying causes of the issues of drug addiction in Kitsap County.

MASTER PROPOSAL
Purpose/Goals Statement
Our search for the most appropriate and effective treatment methods’
began with the people we are trying to save. The addicts that were
interviewed said that the biggest gaps in services are in the access to
stabilization and maintenance therapies. The purpose of the program is to
successfully stabilize people and help them maintain sobriety from drug
addiction. Our goal is to incorporate culturally inclusive and sensitive
stabilization/maintenance services to increase recovery
rates in our communities. By providing services

Scene, Ushered In
Statement of Need
Active drugs users who are seeking recovery from
addiction, may need to be medically, spiritually,
emotionally and cognitively stabilized before treatment.
There are currently no drug replacement/cognitive
behavioral therapy replacement and maintenance
program centers or medical detoxification facilities in
Kitsap County. This program will provide not only
drug/cognitive behavioral therapy replacement and
maintenance in addition to medical detoxification services
but culturally integrated techniques to allow successful
transition into drug treatment programs and long term drug
recovery.
In giving a voice to recovering addicts in the treatment
process and easier access to services we hope to align our
program with the 2013 White House drug policy “A drug
policy for the 21st century: Policy 101”. In policy 101 the
president promotes the expansion of national and
community-based programs and early detection by health
care professionals. The need for easier access to treatment
while giving a voice to recovering addicts is also discussed
(The White House, 2013). The Kitsap Sun newspaper in
Kitsap County has been following the dramatic rise of
heroin and opiate drugs since 2008

MASTER PROPOSAL
Approach/Methods
In order to achieve the objectives of Hope Center we will utilize the following
methods. With the creation of a program that uses evidence based best
practices and multi-cultural recovery techniques we will be combining the
best known methods and inclusion of diverse ideologies to support
stabilization and recovery from drug addiction. Cultural awareness and
sensitivity play a key role in the diversity of the treatment types available in
our program. The need and approach is widely recognized as indicated by
the following:
Strategic Initiative #1:
Goal 1.1: With primary prevention as the focus, build emotional
health, prevent or delay onset of, and mitigate symptoms and
complications from substance abuse and mental illness.
Creating communities where individuals, families, schools, faith-based
organizations, and workplaces take action to promote emotional
health and reduce the likelihood of mental illness, substance abuse
including tobacco, and suicide. This Initiative will include a focus on
the Nation’s high-risk youth, youth in Tribal communities, and military
families
(SAMHSA, 2014).
“The view of addiction as a preventable and treatable disease are echoed on
national and global scales.” (Office of Federal Drug Control Policy, 2013).

MASTER PROPOSAL
Here are the highlights of the revenue expenses:
The in-kind support of providing the donated space, equipment and volunteer
talent greatly offsets our expenses for the facility. The costs for staff and
consultants for the program development are calculated on a 12 week period.
Travel expenses include off-site learning experiences and trainings conducted in
the Puget Sound area. The training materials and office supplies include hard
copy training materials and paper, ink, and use of office equipment. In order to
protect the fiscal well-being of the program development, insurance has been
added to the expenses. Training and learning experiences have been broken
down into orientation, specialized training, experiential learning, and assessment
of future training needs.
