Guest House Daily Reflections

IN THE DAY OF MY DISTRESS, I SOUGHT THE LORD.  Seeking God in each moment of life is a most meaningful journey.  God is always loving me and coming toward me to fill me with LOVE and GOODNESS.  Prayer and Meditation help me so profoundly to be receptive to God’s Loving and Healing Presence.  So does spiritual sharing with others in a humble and loving manner.  There must be no room for negativity in my life.  Negativity blocks me from being receptive to God’s amazing, uplifting LOVE.  MY HEART AND SOUL THIRST FOR GOD AND GOD’S LOVE.

Continuing Care & recovery

Our care for guests extends
beyond our campus.

A sustainable recovery plan is vital to success. The work of recovery begins in earnest when the client leaves our residential treatment. That’s where continuing care comes in. The return to life in ministry can be overwhelming, especially early in recovery. The Guest House plan offers a phased approach designed to reinforce the application of the clients’ learned skills and healthy habits in their daily life. The continuing care program encompasses both formal and informal interventions, opportunities to engage in ongoing didactic discussion groups with religious peers, as well as one-to-one counseling. Continuing care provides a way for those in recovery to share their challenges, as well as their successes along the way. Through planned, ongoing support, we offer encouragement for those who are in recovery and the opportunity to maintain steady progress and spiritual growth. And we can assure the leaders of the communities our clients are returning to that they will be supported by a thoughtful continuum of care.
