If they are willing to seek the Lord and they're teachable, we probably can make it work for them to be at The Refuge.
Picture a place where the darkness of addiction is met with the light of hope and faith. That's what The Refuge in Winterset, Iowa, offers. In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw sits down with Ben Funkhouser, the Director of The Refuge, to discuss how their unique program is making a difference in the lives of those battling addiction.
Ben dives into the nitty-gritty of their admissions process and explains how their approach is deeply rooted in biblical counseling. This isn't just a one-size-fits-all program; it's a personalized journey supported by the local Redeemer Church community. From employment opportunities at Rose Acres to church-led fundraisers and mentoring, The Refuge integrates every aspect of its program with genuine care and support.
One of the standout features of The Refuge is its dual listing on TAC's Resources - both for Residential and non-Residential programs. This recognition speaks volumes about their comprehensive approach to addiction recovery. The episode wraps up with a thoughtful discussion on Philippians 3:8-11, highlighting its relevance to addiction ministry and the broader Christian walk.
If you're looking for a faith-based recovery program that goes beyond the basics, this episode offers a deep dive into how The Refuge is changing lives. Tune in to hear how you can be part of this transformative journey.
