Refuge • Restore • Rise Up

At Refuge Ministries, recovery is a journey. Our three-phase model is designed to help each woman move from safety and stability through healing and rebuilding, and ultimately into a life of freedom, purpose, and healthy independence.

Each phase builds on the one before it, providing increasing responsibility, accountability, and opportunities for growth as each woman progresses in her recovery.

  • A Safe Place to Begin

    The Refuge phase gives women a safe, sober, structured, Christ-centered place to step away from the chaos of addiction and begin again.

    During this phase, the focus is on stability, spiritual growth, recovery, healthy routines, accountability, and connection to a supportive community. Women are given time to slow down, begin healing from trauma, and establish a strong foundation for the journey ahead.

    “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1

  • Healing. Rebuilding. Growing.

    In the Restore phase, women begin rebuilding the areas of life that may have been affected by addiction and trauma.

    Through counseling, recovery support, life skills, financial literacy, job readiness, education, healthy relationships, and continued spiritual growth, women begin developing greater confidence, responsibility, and independence.

    This phase is about more than staying sober — it is about learning how to build a healthy and sustainable life.

    “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

  • Freedom. Purpose. Independence.

    Rise Up is the final phase of the Refuge Ministries program and focuses on preparing women to successfully transition into independent living.

    Women continue strengthening their recovery, faith, finances, employment, relationships, and community support while preparing for long-term stability.

    During this phase, women are also encouraged to use what God has done in their lives to serve others, share their testimony, grow as leaders, and learn how to make disciples.

    “Go and make disciples of all nations…” — Matthew 28:19
