BREAKING THE CHAINS – Recovery Program

Breaking the Chains is a recovery program designed to set men free of the chains and bondages that have robbed them of  hope, future, livelihood, and families.

BREAKING THE CHAINS recovery program:

  • HOUSING- we provide a safe place bringing stability to the men so they can focus on turning their lives around, current life challenges, breaking free from addictions, and becoming financially independent.
  • WORK ETHIC-  each participant agrees to a personalized recovery program which includes running the food bank and soup kitchen. These activities give the men the opportunity to engage in a fulfilling lifestyle. It builds both a work ethic and self-esteem. And as they encourage and focus on others, they encourage themselves.
  • FAITH-BASED RECOVERY PROGRAM-  the men attend weekly training and support meetings. These sessions focus on goal achievement, self-image improvement, understanding the forces working against them, spiritual reconciliation,  team spirit, letting go of the past, exiting compensation modes, adjusting expectations, negative response management, harnessing positive forces, etc..
  • ON-SITE CHAPLAIN SUPPORT- chaplains are on-site to come alongside the men as emotional, spiritual, and relational needs come up. Additional accountability is required for those still struggling with substance abuse.
  • COMPANIONSHIP-  each participant has a unique story. The men’s relationships with each other provide essential emotional support. Those who are further along in the program serve as mentor for those not as far along.
  • CHURCH ACCESS-  the men have access to various spiritual meetings throughout the week through partnering churches on site or nearby.

Our program provides a safe place, giving them stability, so they can work on their life challenges of breaking free from their addictions. Then they are equipped to move back into a fulfilling lifestyle.

As of mid-March, 2011, we unfortunately have a waiting list to get into this program and are turning men away. This could be resolved with funding for mattresses and bunk-beds or donations of these items, and we could double our program capacity.

breaking-chains-programOur desire and goal is equipping men to become fully functioning and self sufficient so they may go out into the world and making a positive impact in their family and community.

We would love for you to join our community of donors. Would you help us to be that hand-up that is so desperately needed?

For You brought me out of darkness and the shadow of death — breaking the chains into pieces! Psalm 107:14
