Programs described in its return (3)
- $781,752 spent. Residential Recovery Program: Our committed staff, structured program, orderly and safe facilities, and emphasis on healing provide the kind of environment that fosters change. Graduates have been reunited with children, freed from court involvement, returned to school, found employment, completed the 12 steps, and mended relationships with family. At our entry-level homes, we encourage a nine-month stay. The Trust, Willow House, Alder House, and Juniper House offer long-term community living to men and women in stable recovery.During 2025, we opened our seventh and eighth recovery residences and residents made significant progress in their recovery. We housed 76 people in eight recovery homes. Of those, 23 residents completed outpatient treatment; 22 residents completed the Genesis Process; 13 residents started college coursework; 32 residents reported deepening their faith; 35 residents repaired or deepened relationships with their families; 15 residents regained driver's licenses; 18 residents established secure permanent housing; and 8 residents completely resolved their criminal cases.
- $20,000 spent. The Genesis Process: We offer a faith-based relapse prevention process for finding healing from the root wounds and traumas that contributed to addictive and destructive patterns. At the heart of Genesis is the question, "Why do I do the very thing I don't want to do?"Our residents say that they've never seen anything quite like Genesis - a group and individual journey that sheds light on our "stuck" patterns, helps us move toward our fears, connects us with God and others, and offers lasting change.During 2025, 22 residents completed the Genesis relapse prevention program.
- $16,500 spent. Therapeutic Gardening: The New Earth Recovery Garden is a place of community, laughter, connection, and healing for bodies, minds, and spirits. Residents participate in seasonal gardening activities depending on their phase and current hours of employment.
