Jumpstart Ministries provides long term recovery, structure and routine that is not available in treatment centers. We are a thirteen month recovery program which is divided up into 3 phases. In phase 1 Residents learn how to build the foundation of their life through life skills classes, bible studies, a curriculum on unlocking their thinking, anger-management classes and 3 church services a week as well as our own Celebrate Recovery meetings. In phase 2 We give residents the opportunity to get a job and make their own money allowing them to save for their future. It's at this point the residents can take the skills they already learned and start to apply them. Classes on managing their money, focusing on their vision and finding their purpose are the vital key in building the frame work of their life. Phase 3 is when residents start making decisions on vehicles, picking out a home and ultimately the direction they will be heading after their JUMP START on life.
