Overview

Mission

Faith recovery is a dbhds licensed clinical christian addiction treatment program serving men ages 18 and up. Our campus located in beautiful williamsburg, va has two dbhds accredited recovery residences where residents find hope and healing. Within these residences we provide a safe sober living environment which includes a clinically managed recovery services program which meets state and national standards. With the use of evidence-based clinical practices and biblical principles we aim to treat both the behavioral and spiritual components of addiction, helping our residents to find and embrace recovery. Faith recovery is a non-profit 501c3 organization.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our comprehensive program consists of 2 recovery homes that combine both clinical counseling and spiritual components. We teach recovery tools, life skills, and spiritual disciplines, with a biblical foundation. The complete program is 6 months in length. Graduates of the full program may be eligible to live in our transitional housing for 3-6 months. This provides residents with continued support and accountability as they transition back into the community. Our 30 day program serves those men age 18 and older who are suffering from substance use disorder. During the introduction to the recovery phase residents focus on developing a solid foundation. The 30 days focus on developing new and healthy routines as residents are required to follow a comprehensive schedule including clinical individual and group counseling, addiction education lectures, 12 step meetings, biblical recovery studies, relapse prevention, life-skills classes, peer recovery mentoring, chapel services and recreation, residential recovery housing (room and board). It is our goal to bring the family into the recovery process. Through educational classes, counseling referrals, family member group sessions, and family activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 83% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
