PURPOSE
The Women’s Care Center is an in-house treatment program targeting drug and alcohol addiction. The program is designed to provide a safe place for women to recover through Bible study, life skills instruction, one-on-one counseling and life coaching to prepare them for wholesome, productive lives.
PROGRAM DETAILS
The Women’s Care Center’s program is highly structured to ensure a stable and stress-free environment that allows the women to concentrate their emotional resources on resolving the issues that brought them to this place in their lives. Resident’s days are filled with approximately 32 hours of class and study time each week including household chores and service opportunities. Central to the program is the principle of personal responsibility. Upon acceptance to the Center, each woman establishes personal goals to be accomplished during her stay and creates a plan for reaching those goals. She is then held accountable to follow through in a responsible manner.
The 6-month program is divided into six phases, beginning with the Orientation phase. Each phase takes a minimum of 30 days to complete, with scripture memorization and specific objectives to better equip them to be the women God created them to be.
One-on-one counseling is provided throughout each phase with life coaching made available prior to and following graduation.
Women that complete the program and are eligible for transition they continue living at the center while continuing their education or pursuing employment. They each have a little more freedom but maintain an accountability relationship with the program staff, while also taking a leadership role in the house as well as providing hope for other residents.
HISTORY
The Women’s Care Center opened in 1989 to provide shelter for displaced women and their children. The program has since shifted focus to women without children in their care so that they may be diligent in their recovery. Complete focus on self will enable them to do the necessary work required to be better mothers, daughters, wives and friends, while allowing God to transform their hearts and minds.
