Program Phases

Restore Addiction Recovery's program lasts a year.

Phase 1, Foundation, involves 30 days of individual and group counseling. Participants become acquainted with the program and participants. At the end of the month, participants can choose whether to participate in the next 3 phases over 11 months. During phase 1, participants can't make calls.

Phase 2, Discovery, involves working and meeting with family during months 2-5. Participants work every other week, and their income goes to funding Restore. Family members are invited to Restore Addiction Recovery the 4th Sunday each month.

Phase 3, Application, involves morning devotionals and work up to 40 hours each week during months 6-9. Participants receive a paycheck for their work during Phase 3. When they are back at the campus, participants receive life skills training to help with finances and legal issues. Family members continue to visit the 4th Sunday each month.

Phase 4, Launch, prepares participants for discharge in months 10-12 by helping them imagine life during recovery and identifying ways they can give back to the community.
