Wichita Falls Faith Mission | Faith Mission

Wichita Falls Faith Mission is a faith based organization that provides programs and services to help those experiencing homelessness move toward self sufficiency in Wichita Falls, Texas. They have a men’s homeless shelter and a residential substance use treatment program. They also connect clients to a variety of social services

Their New Beginnings residential program provides faith based substance use disorder treatment. You’ll benefit from a space to strengthen your relationship with God and reach recovery. One of the best parts is their program is free for all participants. They base their admission requirements on bed availability and staff review as well as a screening process and your desire to reach sobriety. You must be willing to dedicate 13 months to completing care for admission eligibility.

With a core mission of starting your life over with God their programs focus on religious and proven interventions to help you sustain recovery. You’ll participate in counseling and bible study along with addiction recovery classes and work therapy. There is also life coaching and anger management classes. Each session focuses on essential topics like codependency, recovery methods, family relationships, self care, accountability, and more. These approaches can help you discover God’s divine purpose for your life while building healthy coping skills.

What stands out most to me is their program length. Addiction experts recommend remaining in treatment for at least 90 days for the most positive outcomes. Still, everyone moves at their own pace. Their program gives you over a year to continue learning, growing, healing, and fostering a solid relationship with a higher power. I love this approach because you truly have time to reflect on your situation and grow spiritually while practicing new coping methods and gaining structure.

Another feature that caught my eye is their emphasis on work therapy. They incorporate different requirements into treatment to improve your skills and work ethic as well as interpersonal relationships. You can work in maintenance and food service as well as laundry and housekeeping. There’s also landscaping and work at their thrift store and more. These duties can help you learn the significance of responsibilities and showing up for yourself every day.
