During this (Recommended) 18-24 months, our goal is to address the whole man: spiritually, (clinically,vocationally through independent / outpatient services provided in the community), physically, and socially.
Our approach is to develop discipline and good character in a loving, Christ-centered environment. Also, because we recognize that everyone is unique and because of our sensitive MICA populations, therefore we have extended our stay from 18-24 months to as long as it takes for the student to grow, transform, build a strong foundation and obtain all the necessary skills needed to remain successful as a Christian in the community.
