“Housing and life skills: the recovery residences are sober, safe and healthy environments where residents are most likely to achieve recovery from alcohol, drugs and other associated problems. We believe that our recovery residences should foster the deveopment of a sense of community where individuals improve their physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being. The goal of the recovery residences' are to assist the participants to make transitions to independent, productive and meaningful lives of their own choosing. All recovery houses are owned or rented by the organization. The program also helps participants in searching for and finding employment. Participants are expected to attend life skills classesas needed to assist in their re-entry into the community. Life skills are essentially those abilities that help promote mental well-being and competence in people as they fact the realities of life. These life skills are generally applied in the context of healthy and social events.”

“Recovery support services: recovery support services means a broad range of non-clinical services that assist individuals and families to initiate, stabilize and maintain long-term recovery from substance use disorders/co- occurring disorders. Women accepted into the program are required to attend group sessions three nights a week from 6pm to 8pm. Class topics include but are not limited to: program of action - evidence based 12 step recovery class; seeking safety (trauma informed/care); codependency and spirituality. Participants also engage in events in the community. The primary goal is to help participants transition from a life of dependency and unhealthy activity to becoming spirit filled, community-minded, productive individuals who are giving back to their families and communities rather than taking from them.”

“Spiritual growth: the program also provides bible based spritirual growth classes (discipleship), activities, local church involvement. Another relational core component provided is mentorship. This relational component connects participants to a woman outside of the recovery community who provides support, guidance, wisdom and experience to help facilitate spiritual growth purposed to tap into the creative side of the brain.
