Program 13 Month

13-Month Residential Faith-Based Program
Life Care Faith-Based Residential Program: In this program, students devote a significant period of their energy to recovery. During this meaningful and powerful time, students learn the skills they need to permanently recover from drug and alcohol abuse. With the Bible as the foundation, residents experience freedom unlike any they’ve known before. The program consists of four levels, focusing on spiritual and emotional wellness. While mastering life skills through a variety of classes, a lay pastoral counselor helps meet the spiritual needs of each resident. Residents participate in daily devotions, chapel, counseling and choir. Medical and therapeutic needs are met through resources established in the community for students who qualify.
Level One (8 weeks): Residents come to understand the sources and impact of dependency, anger, poor relationships, family dynamics, and depression. They begin to build their skills in anger management, self-acceptance, and making good choices.	Level Three (12 weeks): Students confront the pain and anguish of their past. This newfound understanding helps them prepare for a new life, free of dependence on drugs or alcohol. Relationships begin to heal through family therapy conducted by a lay counselor. New ways of coping are internalized, and a sense of personal competence begins to emerge.
Level Two (18 weeks): Through a series of classes called “Personal Studies for New Christians”, students come to a deeper understanding of God’s love for them. As their personal relationship with Christ grows, healing from the pain and abuse of the past transpires. Students also continue to develop life skills, focusing on specific personal and family issues.	Level Four (12 weeks): Residents focus on transitioning back into their local community. Through structured learning situations, students discover a healthy approach to marriage and home, financial management, citizenship, and problem solving. An emphasis on growing in Christian maturity prepares the student for community life.
Program costs are based on the resident’s ability to pay.
