The Life Change Program at the Grant County Rescue Mission is a transformative journey deeply rooted in Christian principles, offering individuals struggling with addiction a path to recovery and rediscovery of their identity in Jesus Christ. This structured program consists of four distinct phases, each designed to guide participants through a process of spiritual, mental, and social growth.

In the Pre-Phase, which can last up to three months depending on the individual’s entry point, residents undergo an adjustment period to acclimate to the program’s routine. They receive evaluation from program staff to tailor their experience and goals, with an overarching focus on discovering their identity in Jesus Christ. This phase sets the foundation for the rest of the program by helping residents gain clarity on their situation and addiction, identify their physical, spiritual, mental, and social needs, set personal and program-related goals, and learn positive life skills and growth-nurturing techniques.

Phase 1 spans three months and introduces residents to recovery and relapse prevention, life skills, vocational training, and spiritual growth at an entry and intermediate level. This phase focuses on learning foundational principles in Christian living, setting the stage for deeper growth in the subsequent phases.

During Phase 2, also three months long, residents begin to see changes and may feel they can handle things independently. However, the program emphasizes the importance of remaining committed to personal and spiritual growth, with staff providing support to help residents stay on track with their healing and recovery journey.

Phase 3, another three-month period, sees residents continuing to grow in all areas at an advanced level. They have the opportunity to be mentored by qualified volunteers from the community, which further enhances their spiritual and personal development. By the end of this phase, residents are prepared to search for employment and acquire vehicles for transportation, marking a significant step towards independence and reintegration.

In the final phase, Phase 4, which also lasts three months, residents focus on preparing for their transition back into the community. They learn budgeting skills, apply Biblical concepts acquired throughout the program, and demonstrate their ability to live a new way of life. The program aims for residents to become accountable, responsible, and contributing members of their communities, remaining connected with faith organizations and positive community groups in a healthy and growth-oriented manner.

Advancement through the program is based on the achievement of Life Change Program objectives, with no automatic advancements. Through its holistic approach, the Life Change Program at the Grant County Rescue Mission provides individuals with the tools, support, and spiritual guidance they need to overcome addiction, rediscover their identity, and build a positive future.
