Bethesda Recovery Supports People

.  

Bethesda Residential Recovery is a residential care program for women. 

We help each resident rebuild their physical bodies by addressing any health issues. They have an opportunity to have a physical assessment with our community collaborators Kingdom Care. McKinney Clinic, or Henderson Family Practice. We work with community dentists to help with dental needs..  We are proud to work with Kingdom Care with residents who qualify for their services. The Ware County Health Department is a resource for women's health for our residents. 

In addition to their health needs, we stress physical activity with a walking program three days a week. Two days a week, we encourage yard work and personal physical activities. Each resident has free time to enjoy a pool in the summer. 

Residents are taught kitchen skills 

Residents may apply for food stamps and use them to fill in any personal dietary desires.

Bethesda offers groups and classes to support emotional and cognitive restoration.  We uses materials that support evidence based change such as DBT, CBT, Mindfullness and spiritual growth materials the support changing your mind.

One-on-one with life coaches and counselors helps the residents rebuild any emotional or cognitive growth steps they have missed because of the early use of drugs or alcohol. 

We address trauma issues by being trauma-informed and empathic to their needs.  

We also encourage crafts and art groups to heal the brain with refocusing activities. 

We sing together, listen to music together and share entertainment, building emotional and community skills. 

Bethesda teachers and coaches use motivational interviewing to promote positive change.

Ater a client has lived at Bethesda, they may hae safe amily visitors on Saturday from 9a.m to 6 p.m. We believe the family restoration is a key facture for most women to maintain sobriety.

We believe in the dignity and value of all life. Value of life and dignity appreciation are just two of the spiritual tools used to develop a solid moral and positive value system. We also teach the importance of family and community. 

Residents have opportunities to volunteer in the community. By participating in projects more significant than themselves, the residents feel connected in spiritual ways undetected by natural means. 

The spiritual program includes reading together positive, motivational materials, guided mediations, listening to upbeat, 

celebratory music and spending time in natural settings.

In addition to these activities, residents enjoy, when available, uplifting concerts, shopping together, making personal choices for clothing and other personal items, handling private money, and establishing relationship boundaries.
