The Gastonia Potters is a faith-based program for women struggling with substance abuse/alcoholism and other life-threatening issues. The program is residential and consists of two phases, clients must stay a total of 18 months to complete the program in its entirety. During the first phase of the program, clients are taught the Bible and its application, they are guided and encouraged to get to the root of their addiction and begin to work towards the process of healing. Clients in the first phase are required to participate in all of the following: individual counseling, group therapy, substance abuse education, church services, job preparation courses, parenting classes, and volunteering. We believe that family involvement and restoration is critical, and we offer to counsel the families of clients as well. We also work closely with the local courts, prisons, probation offices, and DSS. In the second phase of the program, clients are transitioned into a separate home on the property and are able to begin their journey to re-enter the workplace or seek higher education. Developing positive characteristics such as strong work ethics, budgeting time and money, and responsibility are all of great importance at this stage of recovery. Clients in this stage are challenged to take their faith and apply it in everyday situations as they begin to prepare for program completion.
