Nature of Operation
The Home of Grace for Women, Inc. is a
residential recovery program for
females addicted to alcohol and/or
other drugs.
Type of Program and
other available Services
The Home of Grace for Women, Inc.
offers an inter-denominational Christian
program to the addicted female with
strong emphasis on the advantages of a
Christian atmosphere. While no
proselytizing or coercive activities are
involved, the participants of our
program are encouraged to make the
fullest use of the support and
remediation that is to be gained through
Christian practices and faith. The Home
of Grace was established upon the
premise that a strong and practiced
Christian faith offers a great potential
for renewal of one's life, particularly in
dealing with those problems that have
resulted from the use of alcohol and
drugs.
While strong emphasis is placed on the
Christian program, we offer a 12-week
recovery program consisting of group
counseling, one-on-one counseling,
devotionals, Bible studies, arts and
crafts, recreation, assistance in
preparing for G.E.D., Alcoholics
Anonymous, and Narcotics Anonymous.
The participants of our program are
exposed to counseling, Assertiveness
Training, Values Clarification and
Feelings Groups. These services are
provided by staff members who are
experienced addiction counselors. We
also have volunteer counselors who
provide counseling for the ladies. Family
therapy is also provided to facilitate the
integration of client to home.
Another service offered to the
participants of our program is school. A
teacher is provided to assist those who
have not completed their high school
education to prepare for their G.E.D.
Other participants are offered
assistance in refresher courses on their
particular level.
At the end of the 12-week recovery
period, ladies who do not have a family
or profession to return to, may remain
at the Home of Grace under Graduate
Status if they meet the criteria. They
seek employment through Vocational
Rehabilitation and the Job Training
Partnership Center. Some of the
graduates are furthering their education
by attending college. Follow-up, or After-
Care programs are provided for the
graduates.
We do not have a medical detox;
however, ladies are evaluated to see if
detoxification is necessary before being
admitted to our program.
