About City Gospel Mission – Cincinnati
City Gospel Mission is a religious based organization in Cincinnati, Ohio. They provide Christian-centered life transformation to the socially disadvantaged. These include the homeless, the incarcerated and those affected by behavioral conditions like substance use disorders. Their residential addiction recovery programs equip you with the tools and support needed to rebuild your life with a sense of purpose.
They offer separate faith-based residential programs for men and women. The men’s program is called Exodus and the women’s program is Courage to Change. These programs serve not only those affected by substance abuse but also individuals facing repeated incarceration and homelessness. They also support those dealing with stabilized mental health conditions.
Both programs adopt essentially the same recovery approach. The program lasts 12 to 24 months depending on your goals and personalized treatment plans. Recovery starts with 45 to 60 days of orientation. This involves familiarizing yourself with the structure, setting goals and building a foundation for recovery. Typically their case manager and life coach will assist you with setting goals.
After orientation, you’re encouraged to make 60 to 120-day commitments toward completing your individualized plan. Their recovery approach promotes accountability and responsibility in a supportive environment. Emphasis is on spiritual development, inner healing and health and wellness. Services also include life skill development, job readiness training and personalized case management. This fosters lasting recovery.
Upon graduation, you’re relocated to their transitional apartment for aftercare support. This facility offers independent living with supportive services. This includes counseling, mentoring and group meetings. This additional support helps you maintain sobriety and learn independent living as you prepare to reintegrate into the community.
