Valley Hope of Norton

A Rural Setting Designed For Focused Recovery

Located in a small town in northwest Kansas, Valley Hope of Norton offers treatment in a calm, low-distraction environment that can be especially helpful for people seeking space to step away from daily pressures. The residential campus includes air-conditioned rooms, shared or semi-private bedrooms, common indoor lounges, and outdoor walking areas with access to nature. Nutritious meals are provided on-site, creating a steady daily routine that supports early recovery.

Medically Supported Treatment With Multiple Levels of Care

Treatment can begin with medically monitored detox, with medications for addiction treatment (MAT) available when clinically appropriate. From there, clients may continue in residential care or transition into intensive outpatient treatment, standard outpatient services, or telehealth programming. This range of options allows care to adjust over time, whether someone is starting treatment or stepping down from a higher level of support.

Therapy Grounded in Skills, Education, and Structure

The program includes individual counseling, group therapy, and recovery education focused on understanding substance use disorders and building practical coping strategies. Treatment approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and trauma-related counseling. Education and therapy are designed to help clients recognize triggers, manage cravings, and apply skills in daily life after treatment.

Family Involvement and Long-Term Recovery Support

Family counseling is available, with options for in-person or virtual participation. For clients who want a spiritual component, the program offers care rooted in 12-step practice. Discharge planning and case management help coordinate next steps, which may include return-to-work support and connections to community resources. Ongoing recovery support is available through alumni services, offering continued connection after formal treatment ends.
