Guests can progress through foundational tracks into transitional housing and supportive care as they prepare for independent living.

Inpatient (Residential)

Therapies

Recovery at this Bloomington campus is rooted in biblical discipleship and daily study. Faith is integrated into every aspect of healing. Guests participate in work therapy and individual counseling to build practical life skills. Peer support is combined with classroom instruction that covers conflict resolution and communication.

Addictions

Dealing with substance abuse and other life-dominating addictions is a core focus of the continuing care offered here. Programs gently guide guests through the process of overcoming both chemical dependencies and behavioral struggles. The approach centers on a complete life change rather than placing a single focus on the addiction itself.

Process Addiction

Conditions

Alongside addiction recovery, the ministry assists individuals navigating mental health challenges and chronic illnesses. Coordinated care teams offer supportive services to help stabilize those dealing with deeper behavioral health barriers. A holistic approach ensures emotional and psychological needs are addressed during the recovery journey.

Issues

Deeply rooted in community care, the organization tackles systemic barriers like homelessness and housing insecurity. Programs are specifically designed to help individuals overcome chronic unemployment and the devastating impact of chronic relapse. Rebuilding family stability and working through grief remain central to the healing process.
