Guidelines

Guidelines for our Recovery Support Ministry

Christ-Centered Foundation


We believe true and lasting recovery begins with the transforming power of Jesus Christ. All placements, counsel, and support are built on the authority of Scripture and a reformed, biblical understanding of sin, repentance, grace, and restoration.

 


Prayerful Discernment in Every Placement


We do not place individuals randomly or based on convenience. Every recommendation is made prayerfully, carefully, and with a full assessment of a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

 


Thorough Vetting of All Partner Programs


We only refer individuals to programs that meet high standards of integrity, safety, and gospel clarity. Our vetted partners must demonstrate:
- A commitment to Christ-centered recovery
- Sound doctrine
- Qualified leadership
- Accountability and transparency
- Proven effectiveness in long-term sobriety and discipleship

 


Respectful, Dignified Treatment of Every Person

Every individual seeking help is treated as an image-bearer of God—worthy of dignity, compassion, and truth. We will not enable destructive behavior, but we will walk patiently with those who sincerely desire change.

 


Clear Expectations and Honest Communication

We communicate openly with individuals, families, and pastors. This includes program rules, costs, expectations, and potential challenges so no one is blindsided once the journey begins.

 


Confidentiality with Integrity


Personal information, testimonies, assessments, and referrals are kept private. We protect every individual’s story unless they voluntarily choose to share it for God’s glory.

 


Family & Church Involvement


Where appropriate, we encourage pastoral oversight, family support, and church
involvement. Recovery is stronger when the local church is part of the journey.

 


Commitment to Long-Term Recovery


We remain engaged through follow-up communication, post-program guidance, recovery check-ins, and assistance transitioning back into healthy community and church life.

 


Biblical Accountability


We speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), even when it’s uncomfortable. Real freedom requires honesty, obedience, and a willingness to confront sin with grace and truth.

 


Stewardship of Resources


We use funds, donations, and partnerships responsibly. Every dollar is treated as God’s provision and is invested into helping men and women break the chains of addiction.

 


Zero Tolerance for Abuse or Exploitation


We will never place someone in a program that mishandles authority, uses unbiblical
practices, or creates unsafe environments. Protecting the vulnerable is non-negotiable.

 


Hope Without Compromise


We offer hope anchored in Christ—but we do not water down the truth. Addiction is
serious, sin is destructive, and the gospel is powerful enough to save, restore, and
transform.
