Gospel Rescue Mission - Women's Recovery Center

This place makes me very sad I did not get any help from anyone. My advocate had no idea how to advocate my instructors 4 out of 5 did not have a clue how to instruct. The was so much drama between woman and staff as well. Getting anyone to listen to your questions concerns or anything for that matter was not made a priority and forgotten about. Girls slandering other girls kids treating other children poorly cuz of there race. Lots of gossip lots of hypocrisy lots of judgments. And not very much accountability or setting boundaries at all. The only boundaries that I witnessed was the staff putting up boundaries when u ask them for help. GOOD luck with the program. And yes they do play favorites and really don’t know what they are doing. Felt like a cult.

Not good. Untruthfull. Turns program participants out on the street. No reason.

The right hand does not know what the left is doing. Inadequate training for volunteers. Unclear mission statement and their Christianity , being non denominational allows for almost heretical teachings from anyone who comes in to give spiritual input. Unlike Teen Challenge their Christian message is all over the board and the women are lacking in a stable christian foundation. Their recovery program sees women back often two to three times. Their are some very unhealthy boundary issues

Strength:The faith based programs and the accountability you are held to. weakness: The staff are not consistent and are not trained in dealing with people coming off drugs and that have mental issues also. It was a really great place when I went in 2 years ago but since then it has gone down hill they tend to play favorites and it seems as if the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. There is no consistency there and when someone truly needs the help and knows if they leave they will relapse the staff doesn't care I would definitely recommend looking into more caring and understanding facilities then Gospel rescue mission. I was once very proud of the work they did there but now I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

A wonderfull loving environment with an excellent curriculum and amenities
