MINISTRIES / RIVERWOODS RECOVERY

Purpose

Men and women stand before a judge, time and time again, due to the fact that they have failed to make good choices. Riverwoods Recovery (RR) was birthed in the hearts of several people from Riverwoods Church and in our community that had a burden for those that are suffering from drug and alcohol addiction. RR is a faith-based program that offers accountability laced with grace. Our hope is that when a client completes their term, they will leave with a fresh start, fulfilling the purpose intended for their life.

Structure

Tuesdays: Step Study and discussion.

Fridays: attendance is required at a Celebrate Recovery (CR) meeting that’s offered to anyone with any type of hurt, habit, or hang up. It be-gins with an open meeting and a lesson based on the twelve steps/eight principals, or a testi-mony from someone that has found healing and recovery through RR and CR.

Sundays: dedicated to worship either with Riverwoods Church or a preapproved place of worship. This gives our staff a chance to touch base with the clients at the end of the weekend.

What Clients Can Expect

  • Both Small Group discussions and one on one support are key parts of the program.
  • 24/7 support for clients provides round the clock assistance.
  • Detailed weekly reporting to all appropriate Justice System Entities
