History
Since 2013, our mentoring homes have enjoyed a 71% success rate for all residents and an 89% success rate for all program graduates! Our success is found in our long-term (18 month), intentional program that gives the addict the opportunity to not only establish a strong foundation of sobriety, but a firm footing in all facets of their lives. Residents leave our program equipped emotionally, professionally, spiritually, and financially, with their families restored and a toolkit of life skills that enable them to contribute abundantly to their respective communities.
