Long Term Recovery Program

Raleigh Rescue Mission offers a long term recovery program, called the Life Plan Program, for men and women who want to overcome addiction and other life-dominating obstacles, become socially responsible, learn about Christ and become contributing members of the community.

The Long Term Recovery Program provides approximately 70 beds for men, women and children.  Those who join the program may have been referred by local churches, other agencies or family members, but often they simply walk in.  Residents are encouraged to stay a minimum of four months in the Long Term Recovery Program, though most stay much longer.

While on the Long Term Recovery Program, residents have the opportunity to:

• Identify factors contributing to their homelessness and develop a plan to help overcome barriers to leading a productive life.

• Attend life-skills classes such as anger management, budgeting, interpersonal relationships, setting boundaries, etc.

• Attend adult education and GED preparation in our Adult Learning Center.

• Attend recovery support groups and work with referred agencies to address health, housing and legal issues.

• Attend job preparation classes and work on job placement.

• Learn how to manage their income to support future housing needs.

• Locate a supportive church and attend Mission chapel services.

Residents are ready to continue their program outside of the Mission and live independently once they have retained:

• Employment
• Enough savings to be self-sufficient
• Safe housing
• Support Network

Those who have transitioned out of the Mission are encouraged to return for further counseling, classes and service opportunities.
