Recovery fails when the life around it isn't rebuilt

El Paso County has treatment options. What it doesn't have is the wraparound support that makes treatment stick โ€” the peer who has been there, the stable place to sleep, the mental health provider who actually picks up, the faith community that shows up on a hard Tuesday. RHSH Colorado is that system.

El Paso County is not a typical Colorado community. It carries one of the highest substance use burdens in the state โ€” alongside one of the most underfunded wraparound recovery networks. RHSH was built for this specific place and this specific gap.

Peer recovery coaching

Certified Peer Recovery Coaches with lived experience walk alongside clients from crisis to stability โ€” faith-based, consistent, and non-clinical. The relationship that makes everything else possible.

๐Ÿ 

Whole-person wraparound

Housing navigation, basic needs assistance, mental health linkage, and employment support โ€” because sobriety cannot be sustained in an unstable life. Every service maps to a documented recovery barrier.

โœ๏ธ

Jesus at the center

We believe Jesus Christ is the one who makes recovery truly possible. Every service we deliver points back to Him โ€” and our Faith Foundations program opens the door to anyone who wants to know more.

RHSH Colorado founder Amanda Robinson

A mother who wouldn't stop looking.

Amanda Robinson, MSW, didn't come to this work through a textbook. She came through the wilderness of watching her son Garrett disappear โ€” and the long, desperate search to bring him home. Garrett left Colorado on a football scholarship, suffered a sports injury, and fell into addiction. The stigma kept him silent. Amanda kept looking.

When she finally found him and brought him home, what followed was a long road together โ€” through addiction, moral injury, and the slow return to Jesus. When Garrett reached two years of sustained recovery, Amanda felt called: what about all the other lost sheep?

"He disappeared. I didn't stop looking. When I found him and brought him home, I understood โ€” I wasn't just his mother. I was learning what it means to be the hands of Jesus for the lost. RHSH exists so every lost sheep has someone who won't stop looking." โ€” Amanda Robinson, MSW ยท Founder & Executive Director
How RHSH Colorado works

A clear six-service model built from lived experience โ€” not theory. Designed for adults navigating addiction recovery โ€” and open to any neighbor in El Paso County who is hungry, unhoused, or simply lost.

Client reaches out

Any adult in El Paso County who needs support can contact RHSH Colorado. Addiction, food insecurity, housing instability, or simply feeling lost and unseen โ€” we respond within 24 hours.

Intake & needs assessment

A Certified Peer Recovery Coach meets with the client to assess housing stability, mental health, basic needs, sobriety status, and peer connection.

Peer coaching begins

Individual and group peer coaching starts immediately โ€” faith-based, non-clinical, and consistent. The coach stays assigned through 90 days.

Wraparound services activated

Housing navigation, basic needs support, mental health warm handoffs, and employment assistance are activated in parallel based on assessed need.

Faith community connected

Clients are connected to a faith community that fits โ€” offered, not required. The belonging piece that clinical care cannot provide.

30 / 60 / 90-day follow-up

Standardized check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days track sobriety, housing, mental health, employment, and wellbeing. We don't close the case at discharge.

Six services. Every lost sheep.

Every RHSH Colorado service addresses a specific barrier to wholeness โ€” and every one is available to any adult in El Paso County who needs it, whether they are navigating addiction, food insecurity, housing instability, or any kind of lostness. Recovery is our specialty. Restoration is our mission.

What your investment makes possible

Each giving level funds a specific, defined program unit. Every dollar is tracked, every outcome reported on schedule.

RHSH Colorado accountability and outcomes tracking

Every dollar tracked. Every outcome reported.

RHSH Colorado is built for the accountability standard that foundation partners expect. We track every client interaction, confirm scope before accepting restricted gifts, and deliver written impact reports quarterly and annually.

For gifts of $10,000 or more, Amanda Robinson personally walks through the impact plan, timeline, and reporting cadence before the gift is finalized. No surprises. No vague outcomes.

How we steward major gifts

We confirm scope, timeline, budget, and reporting cadence before committing. Unrestricted and restricted gifts both welcome. Every grant is tracked separately with written mid-year and end-of-year reports.

Restricted vs. unrestricted

Unrestricted support gives flexibility to protect quality. Restricted gifts are welcome when you have a specific program focus. Either way, we confirm scope and report back on schedule.

DAF & stock giving

We accept gifts through donor-advised funds and appreciated stock. EIN: 93-4976456. Legal name: Restoring Hearts Supporting Hands. Contact us for transfer details.

Rooted in Truth
"I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak."
โ€” Ezekiel 34:16

Garrett's story is Luke 15. The lost sheep found. The prodigal son who came home. The father who ran to meet him. And the God who promised, in Ezekiel 34:16, "I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak." RHSH exists to be the fulfillment of that promise in El Paso County โ€” for every lost sheep, whatever form their lostness takes. The hungry. The homeless. The addicted. The person who simply stopped believing they still belonged. We will look until we find them. We will bring them home.
