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.
