Great Lakes Women’s Recovery
Mary – A Life Restored Through Faith
“Great Lakes Women’s Rehab taught me how to understand God’s love. I never thought I would even make it into the program, and now I am staying for a yearlong leadership internship.”.
At 67 years old, I struggled with depression, anxiety, and addiction. I reached a point where I didn’t want to live any longer. But through this program, I found hope. I thank God, my friends, and my family for supporting me, and I am forever grateful for the transformation I experienced here.

“God is making all things new! He delivered me from a poverty mindset. Now, I am helping others just like me.”.
After battling a 20-year addiction, experiencing homelessness, and facing repeated relapses, I finally found hope at Great Lakes Women’s Rehab. The program gave me a firm foundation in Christ and the strength to move forward. Today, I am an intern at the Los Angeles Women’s Induction Center, using my story to inspire others.

My life took a downward spiral after my mother and sister passed away. I battled deep depression, addiction, and even imprisonment. But in my lowest moments, God reached me.

Rayeann – Finding a Purpose in Ministry
“If it weren’t for this program, I would not have a relationship with the Lord today.”.
After years of addiction to meth and heroin, I was lost and hopeless. But at Great Lakes Women’s Rehab, I learned that God equips those He calls. After graduating, I served at Teen Challenge in Brooklyn and Long Island, strengthening my faith and my calling. Now, I am back in my hometown, serving in ministry and being a light in a once-dark place.

“I graduated and now serve as an Emerging Leader Intern. I have hope in the Lord and joy for what’s to come!”.
Growing up in church, I knew about God, but childhood abuse led me to drugs and alcohol. By my early 20s, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and turned my back on faith. But in my darkest moment, Great Lakes Women’s Rehab became my saving grace. Now, I am preparing for Bible school, ready to follow my ministry calling.

Jacqueline – A Mother’s Journey Back to God
“God used an absolute tragedy to draw me close to Him!”.
After battling addiction and leaving the program once, I fell back into my old ways. But when my 4-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia, I knew I had to surrender to God. I returned to Great Lakes Women’s Rehab, completed the program, and am now serving as an intern. Today, my son is healed, and I have a renewed faith and purpose.

Natalie – A Young Life Transformed by Faith
“I am proud to say I have found God, and there is no going back for me.”.
Over a year ago, I entered Great Lakes Women’s Rehab as a broken soul, feeling empty and facing prison time. Struggling with anxiety, depression, and reckless behavior, I attempted suicide multiple times. Finding Christ in rehab changed my life, filling me with hope and a light that can’t be extinguished. Now, I work as an intern in the intake department for Adult & Teen Challenge and stand on Isaiah 40:31: “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.”

I was introduced to Jesus, and my life has never been the same. I appreciate the patience and love that each leader showed me throughout my time as a student. I am now 7 1/2 years clean, married with three children, and own my home. Thank you for all that you do!

Dawn – A Mother’s Gratitude

Without it, she would probably not be with us today… at least not the person that is loved by everyone. And now she serves the very program that saved her and brought her to God so He could set her on the right path. I pray they continue the work and grow until everyone on earth has the same opportunity afforded my daughter! But with God, ALL things are possible. Matthew 19:26
