OUR GUESTS RECEIVE GUIDANCE THROUGH DAILY TWELVE-STEP PROGRAMS, SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, ANGER MANAGEMENT TREATMENT, EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE, JOB TRAINING, HOUSING ASSISTANCE, AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE. IN ADDITION, GUESTS PARTICIPATE IN CLASSES ON LIVING INDEPENDENTLY, REPAIRING BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS, AND IMPROVING SOCIAL SKILLS.

ON A YEARLY BASIS, HUNDREDS OF LIVES ARE TRANSFORMED THROUGH OUR RESIDENTIAL RECOVERY PROGRAMS. ALL PROGRAM SERVICES ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT MONETARY COMMITMENT FROM PROGRAM MEMBERS.
