GO FOR THE GOLD!
Help us carry the torch across the finish line.
The Virtue Center has moved into our new facility.
Since opening our new, trauma-informed designed building, we have experienced a rapid influx of new clients in need, leading to a greater need for usable space. To continue building a better future for our clients, we are kicking off our summer campaign to raise $60,000.
As we continue to provide help and inspire hope to those in need, we recognize the importance of adapting our space to meet the evolving demands of the community. Your support will enable us to reconfigure our therapy spaces, expanding our capacity to serve even more individuals and families in our community.
Since opening our new building, TVC has continued to grow by expanding and providing more services. In the past year, we have:
Expanded Mental Health Services
Expanded Family Involvement in Treatment
Started Treatment for Problem Gambling
Relaunched our Medication Assisted Treatment Clinic
Donations can be made once or in increments of up to five years.
A Vision for the future
We're in our new home providing a welcoming, therapeutic environment with a trauma-informed design that promotes healing for teens, adults, and families. We invite you to walk through the doors of this safe place of help and hope for people facing addiction and mental health challenges, where they can heal and thrive.
Hope
Clients often arrive at The Virtue Center with very little hope for a brighter future. Many have experienced trauma and are caught up in inter-generational cycles of addiction. Our new facility will utilize elements of trauma-informed design to create a space that promotes healing and inspires hope for what lies ahead.
Connection
Restoring broken relationships is a large part of treatment services. Research suggests positive intimate relationships are crucial for achieving long-term recovery. Our services are individualized to meet the specific needs of clients and their families. Restoring connections is often an end goal in recovery; being responsible, being reliable, establishing healthy boundaries, and caring for others are all part of recovery.
Community
Substance use disorders affect the whole community by increasing demand on law enforcement and healthcare facilities. It increases school disruptions, juvenile delinquency, and foster care placements. It places an enormous strain on the courts and is a primary cause of prison overcrowding. Absenteeism and lost productivity affect the bottom line for local businesses.
Why It’s Important
Addiction is a chronic, progressive disease affecting people from all walks of life- without treatment, it is often fatal. Its devastating impact is destroying families and costing billions of dollars each year in health care, public safety, the criminal justice system, social services, property loss, and lost productivity.
The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services calls addiction our state's number one public health crisis. Drug and alcohol addiction contributes to 85% of all homicides, 80% of all prison incarcerations, 75% of all divorces, 65% of child abuse cases, and 55% of all domestic assaults.
