Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and fund our mission.

Building Hope Inc. is dedicated to fostering hope, and recovery in our community by providing comprehensive resources for substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring mental health (MH) conditions. We understand that the path to wellness often involves navigating both, and we are here to support the whole person.
Our mission is to empower individuals and families affected by addiction, guiding them toward a path of lasting recovery and overall well-being.

"Connection is the opposite of addiction." As a peer-led community in Prairie du Chien, our goal is to provide a safe, stigma-free environment where individuals navigating substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring mental health (MH) conditions can find authentic support.

Connection as a Cure: We believe connection is the opposite of addiction and prioritize building a supportive community to end isolation.
Lived Experience: Our services are led by Peer Support Specialists who use their own recovery journeys to provide authentic, non-judgmental mentorship.
All-Inclusive Pathways: We respect that there is no "one size fits all" approach and support all paths to wellness, including 12-step, MAT, and All-Recovery.
Harm Reduction & Safety: We are committed to immediate community safety by providing free, no-barrier access to life-saving tools like Narcan.
Stigma-Free Empowerment: We provide a safe space to be honest about the "messy parts" of both mental health and substance use.

Building Hope provides opportunities for individuals to get involved through specialized training. These programs are designed for those who want to use their lived experience to help others:

Building Hope is launching a new peer-led fitness group. Stop by the center to meet your new accountability partners. From walks to workouts, let’s build strength in our bodies and our community together.
Please reach us at buildinghopepdc@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
It’s a safe, drug-and-alcohol-free community space. Unlike a clinical facility or a doctor’s office, we focus on social connection and peer-to-peer support. You can come here to meet people who understand your journey, attend a meeting, or simply relax in a non-judgmental environment.
Absolutely. We recognize that Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and other substance use often go hand-in-hand with mental health conditions (co-occurring disorders). Our peer-led environment is designed to support you through the "messy parts" of both, offering a safe space where you can be honest about your mental wellness and your recovery journey simultaneously.
Our only requirement is that you are not currently under the influence while on-site. We welcome individuals at every stage—whether you are curious about recovery, in early sobriety, or have years of sustained wellness.
Healing happens together. Feel free to drop in during our open hours to find a safe space and a supportive ear.
