OUR PROGRAM GOAL

All phases of the Grace 247 program will focus on rebuilding family relationships, identifying individual needs of each family, re-establishing core relationships, family interaction strategies, mentorship, building solid financial futures, and creating stable home environments.

OUR VISION

Working Towards a Better Tomorrow

The vision for Grace 247 is a collective aspiration of each member of the board of directors who have personally been affected by drug addiction individually or through a family member. Members who have personally experienced or observed the struggles that men, women, and families endure during their addiction and continue to experience upon leaving residential treatment facilities when attempting to reestablish within their homes and communities.

Having personally lived as either addicts, or as family members of addicts, we, the founders of Grace 247 have seen first-hand the struggles of those living in or recovering from addiction. Throughout the years, we have been approached by addicts and families within our communities who have asked us for help. Many of those seeking assistance ask for opportunities and not just a simple hand-out. Our goal is to seek out the gifts and talents of individuals in local communities and help develop opportunities for them to utilize these gifts in ways that provide long-term solutions. We also intend to minister to people living in addiction by assisting to increase education levels and trade skills that would equip them to face the everyday challenges of life and increase opportunities for them in the future. Grace 247 will provide spiritual assistance as well, as we seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

GRACE 247

What We Know

The American addiction and overdose crisis has taught us many things, two of the most important of which are that community involvement is vital to curbing substance abuse and that addicts need all the help they can get when they are trying to get back on their feet. While specialized clinical treatment is vital to helping someone overcome drug or alcohol abuse, so is a network of support before, during and after patients complete their program.
