New Life Recovery Program for Women

Application for Admission

This is a huge step forward in your recovery. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to even apply to a program. We hope to be an encouragement to you as you move forward. We are not here to judge you; we are here to help. Please know that your information will be treated with the utmost respect for privacy. Any information obtained is for the sole purpose of determining if this program is a good fit for your needs and will not be released to any outside agency for any reason without your specific written consent to such a disclosure.

There are a few things we would like to tell you about our program up front:

  1. Our program is not able to accommodate anyone using narcotics, benzodiazepines, or muscle relaxers. Other medications such as, but not limited to, psychotropics, anti- depressants, and anti-anxiety medications will be addressed on a case-by-case basis but are not necessarily disqualifiers.

  2. We are faith based. You do not need to be a Christian to enter, and we do not require that you become a Christian at any point in the program. However, our program is Bible-based, and we do lead our classes from a Christian perspective. All we ask of you is for an open-minded and willing attitude towards Christian teachings.

  3. Our program includes Work Therapy as a critical component of our structure. An explanation of the physical requirements of the program. At the end of this application is a document for your doctor to sign if you are currently under medical care for an injury or physical limitation.

  4. We are a nicotine free environment. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug and we recognize its negative impact on your overall health and well-being. You may use nicotine replacement therapies during the first 30 days of the program but must be nicotine-free before phasing into the program.

  5. We are a time-out from romantic relationships (except for legal marriage, which is a separate issue). 

  6. Because our program is designed for those who have no other resources, those accepted into the program are not allowed to have access to any outside income (such as SSI, SSDI, Unemployment, GA, etc.) while in the program. Rep payees or another trusted person to handle their finances will be necessary while they are in the program.  

 

More than anything- we want you to succeed in overcoming your life controlling issues! If you have questions about any of the above, we encourage you to call Deborah Metzler at 707-576-1471 or by email at dmetzler@rgm.org. Please keep this page for your files.
