Recovery

Life Changing Programs

By meeting people where they are in their journey, we provide life recovery programs that offer something even more valuable:  hope.  City Mission’s comprehensive suite of recovery programming is designed to help residents suffering from mental illness, chemical addiction, multiple relapses, incarceration, histories of abuse, abandonment and isolation, and functional and vocational disabilities get back on their feet.

Biblically Based Counseling

Structured Approach

The Word of God is the guideline we follow to show people the way out of their problems, back to God, and back to independent living.  Within our Life Recovery phase individuals attend groups that address day today life skills from a practical and Biblical perspective.

These groups focus on:

  • Healthy relationships
  • Stress and Anger management
  • Drug and Alcohol Recovery
  • Planning for the future

We also utilize materials which addresses addictive behaviors with a Christian component which combine 12 step recovery with biblical teachings.  We believe in addressing client’s needs in a holistic way through materials that address the issues that they face whether challenges in parenting or addressing codependency and boundary issues.

We address the root problems of homelessness and have a proven track record of success.
