New Life and Peace Rehab Center

Psalms 72:12 "For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper."

Our purpose and goal are to reach the needy and desperate, and to offer hope to otherwise hopeless lives.

The rehabilitation program lasts from eight to ten months and is divided into four phases with increasing responsibilities and privileges as the resident moves up in status. An additional 10-12 month training program may be offered to the graduate if he wishes to stay and help run the program.

Upon entering the program, the resident will be given a two month induction period with few privileges other than spending and receiving mail, and will have no other responsibilities other than simple daily chores. Generally it is during this time that he will receive salvation and the Holy Spirit. In the next two stages, he will begin to assume certain job responsibilities, which will add pressure and lead him to the Lord for help. With these increased responsibilities comes added privileges such as receiving and making phone calls, visits from family, and supervised weekends at home.

In the final phase of the program, the resident actually is in training to be a counselor and will counsel another resident of lower status. Then he will make a report to the senior staff. In this way, he will learn to help others as he was helped.

Each person in the program will be required to follow a daily schedule which includes attending Bible classes and devotional meetings, receiving counsel, and participating in recreational activities and work chores. Disciplinary measures, such as written compositions or Bible verses, or extra work chores will be given to help correct negative behavior. We do not use any sort of medication or restraint, nor do we use group therapy.

To be admitted into the program, a person must be desperate and want help, must be willing to seek God as the answer to all his problems, and submit to authority. All court cases must be taken care of or postponed for at least a month. Prescription medication is allowed upon approval of the program overseer. No narcotics or alcohol containing medication will be allowed. A preliminary interview will be taken before acceptance into the program.

Our rehab centers do not receive any government funding. We are totally dependant upon God to move upon the heart of people to supply our needs, either as individuals or church groups. None of our staff are paid, though they do receive any funds donated specifically to them by name or for the staff in general.
