Our Christian Rehab for Women Mission
God wants us to know freedom from addiction and destructive behavior. While this world promises freedom outside God’s established boundaries, the road leads to entrapment and a life out of control. Great Lakes Adult & Teen Challenge is a Christian Discipleship program for persons with life-controlling addictions, such as drugs and alcohol. Our ultimate goal is to bring a person into the right relationship with the Lord so they may live responsibly.
Our Christian Rehab Culture
Great Lakes Women’s Rehab, part of Adult & Teen Challenge, creates an environment where people can experience God. Viewing life through God’s lens is where recovery begins. Our participants learn to establish new boundaries and enjoy the freedom that comes from living within them. Facing our fears, failures, and disappointments is painful, but opening our hearts to clarity and order is necessary. We assume responsibility for our thoughts, choices, who we call friends, where we go, how we treat others, and how we react to situations.
The Seven R’s of a Responsible Culture
Reverence for God– Living out God’s Word and Gaining His Perspective
Respect for Others– Honoring Other’s Boundaries to Establish Meaningful Relationships
Repentance– Learning to Admit “I’m Wrong” and Having the Desire to Change
Retribution– Learning to Accept the Rewards of Right and Corrections of Wrong Behaviors
Restitution– Learning to Make Things Right When We’ve Been Wrong
Restoration– Learning to Ask/Give Forgiveness and Committing to Rebuild Relational Trust
Rejoicing– Celebrating God’s Favor That Comes from Living Out These Principles
At our Christian rehab for women, our Culture of Responsibility holds us responsible for facing our actions. We believe that when there’s no place to put the blame but on ourselves, we see the need to ask God to challenge us to change.
