Bethel house program

Executive Director. Message received. This discipleship program exists to help men make the transition from incarceration back into the community. We provide housing in a Christian family setting and will assist you in finding a mentor, a Christian church and employment.

Through mandatory programs and fellow-shipping we will also assist you in strengthening your spiritual walk with Jesus Christ. You need to bring to this program a commitment to change and total honesty. You must have a sincere desire to change your life through the power of Jesus Christ.

You must have been clean and sober for a period of at least 30 days. Applicants must be willing to become involved in a mentored relationship to build support. Applicants must be willing to abide by Bethel house rules and probation and parole rules. Applicants must be willing to adhere to money management requirements which are specifically outlined in the house rules.

Applicants must commit to a minimum of 6 months residency. Please contact your counselor for assistance with these requirements. All applications that do not meet these criteria will be denied. Group therapy, counseling and other supportive services help those struggling with drug and alcohol abuse overcome addiction and rebuild their lives while continuing to live at home and, in many cases, work.

Bethel clients in work release focus on transition, including finding and keeping jobs, reconnecting with family members and becoming productive members of the community once again. We help them learn and refine living skills such as shopping for groceries, using public transportation and managing personal finances—all while supported by Bethel staff.

Work release is a chance for self improvement in a safe and caring environment that builds skills that clients can more easily sustain upon release. The program also functions as the Female Offender Program for Arrowhead Regional Corrections and is the only program of its kind in our region. It provides support and instruction specifically designed for women, helping them learn necessary skills to develop a healthy, rewarding life while staying connected with their families and jobs.

Why is this program effective? You might believe it is the length of the program months along with the religious environment that helps a person kick the habit.

We believe it is because of someone we call Jesus Christ. When a person finds a relationship with God, they become a New Creation and everything changes. New priorities, attitudes, reactions, plans and goals in life add up to change. The new replaces the old lifestyle and the attitudes and behaviors underlying them.

Is this program open to people of all faiths? The recovery program is based foundationally on a literal interpretation of the Protestant Bible. Certainly, people of other faiths may enter the program but, as they are informed of the nature of the program, they voluntarily choose to participate. It is not required that a participant have a conversion experience to enter or complete, but conversion is regarded as the greatest hope for breaking a life-controlling issue.

How can I get help? Contact the campus at and ask for the Admissions Coordinator. They will provide you with entrance and program information. The applicant must schedule a phone interview and speak to the Intake Coordinator personally. It is preferred that the applicant interview in person if you live within a one hundred mile radius of the campus. Does it cost to go to this program? While this fee does not pay for your entire stay at New Creation Restoration, it is necessary to help defray the initial costs during your first few weeks here, although no one is turned away for lack of funding.

The money for remaining costs are raised through individual donations, fundraising and work programs. Costs and fees are explained more fully in the application. If a person drops out of the program, can they get their money back? It is the policy of NCRC that no entry fee will be refunded.

This is shared at the time of admissions and will be provided in writing. Do you have lock-down facilities? As a general rule, NCRC is for those who voluntarily want to enter the program to receive assistance with life-controlling issues. At this time, NCRC does not have a true lock-down facility. Can a person get court ordered into the program? Yes, a person may be court ordered, however, because of our faith-based nature, the court is required to give the individual a choice, i.

It is important that such a person understand that biblical principles are fully integrated into the program at NCRC. Will my family members be able to visit me while I am in the program?
