Recovery For Life

A Christian pastor, Paul Hardy, founded Recovery for Life in 1998. Recovery for Life is a non-profit, faith-based organization that offers outpatient treatment services to adult women and men. The center provides treatment for the needy people in the Virginia Beach area. On average, the center serves more than 200 individuals every week.

Treatment Program

Clients willing to enroll in the Recovery for Life program undergo a phone assessment conducted by intake coordinators. This assessment determines if the client is suited for the outpatient program. While the center does not offer detox services, it does provide referrals to other agencies.

Recovery for Life offers its clients a structured outpatient program. The program utilizes an evidence-based approach and involves group therapy and individual counseling sessions. The treatment modalities used by the center include CBT, DBT, peer sharing, relapse prevention, and education. The intensity and length of the program depend on the assessments conducted by counselors.

Recovery for Life also offers a gender-specific group that addresses issues specific to each gender. The counselors determine the number of sessions.

The center uses a 12-step approach as a treatment model and hosts weekly NA/AA meetings. It also places great emphasis on Christian values and forms an integral part of the recovery program. Recovery for Life also offers a treatment track for dual diagnosis support. Additional support is provided in the form of individual sessions conducted by a mental health counselor.
