REFUGE (Step 1)
Residents become familiar with their new safe surroundings and begin to apply structure to their lives. For many, this 30-day phase is a time for detoxing from chemical addiction.

DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING AND EDUCATION (Step 2)
This is the spiritual dimension of the recovery program. The discipleship training and education focuses on every aspect of a person’s life. Residents learn how to deal with real life issues without returning to their former unhealthy dependencies. They grow in Christian character through recovery classes, meetings and Bible studies. They grow in intellect through education with an opportunity to earn their high school equivalency and/or learn viable job skills at the Mission Learning Center.

RE-ENTRY (Step 3)
Residents re-enter the community as they search for full-time employment. The Mission utilizes numerous community resources in finding jobs for people. After finding work, residents progress through the recover process – learning how to budget their finances, pay bills and save for a home of their own.

AFTERCARE (Step 4)
This final phase of the program lasts six months. Rescue Mission alumni live off-site, but attend counseling sessions, alumni and chapel services at the mission on a regular basis. Some become mentors and sponsors for the new residents while others volunteer at the mission and in the community.
