A Journey of Hope and Renewal

Over the coming months, you'll hear from us with sincere letters of thanks for your support, important news on health topics that matter most to Arizona residents, and progress reports on how your generous contributions change lives. In a moment, you'll hear the triumphant journey of hope and renewal of two women who successfully overcame addiction. They are among the lucky ones.

The Harsh Truth

Unfortunately, more than five people die every day from opioid overdoses in Arizona. On June 5, 2017, then Governor Doug Ducey declared a statewide public health emergency in an effort to reduce opioid deaths. In August 2023, current Governor Katie Hobbs announced the continuation of the Arizona Substance Abuse Partnership which recognizes the benefits of a whole-health approach to treatment.

Her Executive Order states that The Governor’s Office of Youth Faith and Family will lead the Partnership. “As a social worker, I have seen how important a holistic and comprehensive support system is to those struggling with substance abuse,” said Governor Katie Hobbs. Miracles Of A Second Chance shares this philosophy. The Arizona Department of Health Services Dashboard, updated weekly, reports these startling figures:

From January to August of 2024, our state has experienced: 8,817 Emergency Room Visits, 2,402 Non-Fatal Overdoses, and 724 Fatal Overdoses. Each of those numbers represent a loved one who lost their way and needs your help. Sadly for some, it is too late. But there is still much we can do for survivors still struggling with addiction.

While these numbers reflect usage across a broad demographic, there is a recognized need for women-specific Substance Use Disorder Treatment programs. Moreover, it is vital for patients to get that treatment from professionals trained in dual-diagnosis and trauma care. That's where we come in.

The Miracles Of A Second Chance Difference

Imagine a community where every woman struggling with substance use finds hope, healing, and a future brimming with possibilities. At Miracles Of A Second Chance, we are committed to making this vision a reality. Our faith-based mission aims to empower women to reclaim their lives from substance use, rebuild their relationships, and secure a brighter future.

We have a devoted team of physicians, nurses, Christian counselors, and behavioral health technicians, waiting to help the women in our community. Our residential center houses nine women at a time, providing medication treatment and supervision, case management, continuing education, and help with job placement via Arizona@Work upon completion of the program.

Plans to Give You a Hope and a Future

“'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. '” — Jeremiah 29:11.

Leslie, a mother of two, lost her way when she began to struggle with addiction. Her life spiraled out of control, leading to the heartbreaking loss of custody of her little ones. She found herself in a dark place- afraid, confused, and low on options. But with the grace of God and the support of programs like ours that place a high priority on whole-health care, women like Leslie can embark on a transformative journey. The expert medical staff in our organization have treated many women like Leslie, guiding them to not only achieve sobriety but also reignite their faith and hope.

Miracles Of A Second Chance INC, offers a clean, safe residential environment for women to receive comprehensive rehabilitation services like medical care and medication if needed, individual behavioral health and Christian counseling, group therapy, life skills, continuing education, and opportunities for job placement once they have completed our program.

However, we don't stop at treatment. Our residents also receive outpatient services like those offered to Emily, another patient we helped. Emily had lost her job and her home due to the devastation drugs and alcohol addiction caused in her life.

Thankfully, she sought help and was able to maintain her sobriety and put her life back in order. She and other women like her benefit greatly from job partnership programs and other recovery support services like ours, where they gain valuable skills and secure employment. With improved health, a stable job, and newfound confidence, women and their families reap the rewards of God's grace. The Lord God Almighty is the driving force of our mission so the thanks and glory for all our success stories belong to Him.

Your support helps us create more success stories like Leslie's and Emily's. By joining our mission, you are not just contributing to a cause; you are helping your family, friends, and neighbors by Nurturing Faith, Empowering Women, and Reclaiming Lives.

Your compassionate contributions help reunite families and give hope to women living with Substance Use Disorder. Your generous gift today enables us to give them spiritual, medical, emotional, and educational care. This is where they begin their journey to build a brighter, safer future for themselves and their loved ones. Together, with God’s guidance, we can transform lives and strengthen our community.

We look forward to having you join our team of supporters, and we promise to keep you posted on our progress. In the meantime, head over to https://www.miraclesofasecondchance.org for more information. Thank you and May God Bless You.
