What to Expect
The Ark offers Personal Restoration—one step, one brick at a time. We provide a faith-based, in-house recovery program where God is at the center of the transformation process.
Our dedicated Executive Director is certified in Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) and works closely with each resident to help reshape thinking patterns, develop a new perspective, and break free from destructive behaviors and habits.
A key first step in our program is helping each resident secure meaningful employment. This reinforces the value of their skills, builds confidence, and encourages positive lifestyle choices.
We also focus on restoring families and rebuilding healthy relationships whenever possible. In addition to employment, an important milestone for each resident is regaining independence—such as reinstating a driver’s license.
Community plays a vital role in recovery, which is why we emphasize Peer Recovery Groups and encourage active participation in healthy, purpose-driven living.
