How to Apply to Our Free Recovery Program
If you or someone you know needs help, please do not wait. Pick up the phone and ask to speak with our center’s overseer to begin the application process. The residential program is voluntary, biblically based, and completely free of charge.
Our goal is to help each resident permanently break destructive cycles, discover real purpose, and experience God’s love, forgiveness, and life-transforming power. We treat every person in our center as a member of the family. Junior staff members and senior residents help teach those who are newer, and each man and woman is expected to do his or her part to help the household run smoothly.
If you are seeking admission, call and ask to speak with the overseer for a phone interview. If you live within an hour or two of us, you may be asked to come in and interview in person. Your first step is simple: decide you are ready to change, and call now.

Who can apply?
Adults ages 18 and up can apply to our center for help. Admission is based on bed availability, and our center is open to both men and women. All we ask is that a person be willing to seek God for the answers to life’s problems and to follow the schedule of the program.
Prospective residents should call and speak with the overseer. A preliminary interview is done by phone, or in person if you live nearby. If someone is under 18, exceptions can sometimes be made on a case-by-case basis.
This is a highly structured program with a disciplined daily schedule, and every resident is expected to obey the house rules and follow the schedule. It is not a lock-down facility, and a person is free to leave at any time. There is no upper age limit, though please note our facility has stairs, which may be difficult for those with mobility issues.

Once you’ve called
We require some initial blood tests, and a pregnancy test for women, before accepting a person into the program. Each incoming resident must also have a return ticket or the equivalent. Because the program is highly structured, a person who is unable to adhere to the rules and guidelines will not be permitted to stay, and the return ticket is used if we must ask someone to leave.
Any serious health or legal matters should be resolved before entering the center. While in the program, only emergency medical care will be sought, and any medical expenses are the responsibility of the resident. As a general rule, only non-addictive, non-narcotic medications are permitted at any center.
You should plan to bring about a week’s worth of clothing along with any preferred toiletries.
