Recovery residences for addicts in Emporia, Ks.
Our Mission
To provide a spiritual, life-changing, and empowering environment where recovering addicts can discover their God-given potential, establish a healthy intentional lifestyle, master life skills, and become self-sufficient.
Holistic Approach
Drug addiction affects all aspects of life. Addicts are often told that they only need to change one thing - EVERYTHING! That type of change is all-inclusive and thus, a holistic approach improves the likelihood of successful recovery from active addiction. Change and transition are extremely difficult. In the struggle for life change and healing, addicts are often without suitable housing and an empowering environment as they attempt massive life changes while still living in the same drug-infested environment.
Addicts need a safe place to recover, grow, and discover. Addicts need to create an entirely new lifestyle where they can avoid vulnerable situations, pursue new friendships, and develop a meaningful relationship with God. Drug recovery and sober living are possible in Emporia Kansas.
Building upon a solid rock
The only way to recover from addiction is literally changing everything (people, places, and things) and re-inventing life from the ground up. Christ should be the solid rock on which they stand and should be the cornerstone of their new life. Addicts need help in discovering how to build their lives in Christ.
Empower House Ministries Inc. (nonprofit) was founded to provide addicts with an empowering environment where they can establish a new lifestyle while discovering their identity as a child of God through the power and hope of Christ.
Empowered by community and faith
The collective church can have an active role by providing a spiritual basis and supporting for addicts in their recovery. Our clinic counselors will be able to fill this unique need by investing in the people that we serve.
Clinics to be offered:
We offer monthly clinics to help residents with life skills and guidance on key areas of concern. Possibilities include:
- Jobs – how to write a resume, get a job, and keep a job.
- Careers – Evaluate long-term career possibilities and then work with the recovery addict to create a path towards that long-term goal. Example: Working at a fast-food restaurant may pay the bills, but we would encourage them to find a career suitable for them. If they would like to become a nurse, we could show them how to get into CNA classes, get a job related to CNA work, and then look at nursing school as they become more stable.
- Parenting – how to raise children with Godly principles.
- Godly love / relationships – addressing past issues regarding domestic abuse / defective relationships, and then raising expectation for future relationships.
- Self-worth and identity in Christ. Helping them learn to love themselves and discover who Christ is calling them to be.
- Financial counseling – how to budget, pay bills, save for the future, etc. with Godly financial principles.
- Essential cooking skills - how to plan basic meals, shop for ingredients, and prepare meals.
Clinic counselors are from the community and local churches. We would be seeking people that would offer regular clinics, but also be available for one-on-one appointments. We would be seeking a teacher and mentor that is willing to invest in people – rather than merely teaching a class.
