Our Approach & The Research Behind It
Our intentional blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, 12-step programs, hands-on support, and faith-based identity building compiles all the best proven practices for treatment that will lead to long-term abstinence from drug and alcohol use.
Research has proven that the #1 predictor of sustained sobriety is faith building. According to a 2019 study to determine whether faith is indispensable in preventing and recovering from substance abuse, 84% of studies show faith reduces drug abuse risk, and 90% of studies show faith reduces alcohol abuse risk.
A study in 2022 on faith-based intervention showed faith-based treatments grew women's spiritual commitment, predicting 44% higher odds of sustained sobriety vs. secular programs. This means that faith in Christ is studied and proven to be, by far, the best road to transformational, long-term recovery.
Women who complete our program are 100% more equipped to handle independent living.
