Grace for addictions services
What does Grace For Addictions do?
We offer peer-led recovery support, coaching, community connection, and help navigating resources. We support people seeking their own next step and loved ones looking for guidance.
Is support free?
GFA coaching and peer support are free. Housing programs have separate requirements and may have fees.
Who can participate?
People bring different backgrounds, beliefs, and recovery goals. Contact us about your situation, including age, location, or access needs, so we can discuss appropriate options and current availability.
Do I need insurance, a diagnosis, or a referral?
No. You can contact GFA directly about peer support without insurance, a diagnosis, or a professional referral.
Is this therapy or treatment?
No. Our services are nonclinical. Peer support can complement treatment but does not replace licensed mental health care, medical care, or emergency services.
Which recovery pathways are welcome?
Recovery is personal. We respect different pathways and beliefs. Religious participation is never a condition of support.
How do I get started?
Use Contact Connect below, email connect@graceforaddictions.org, or call 515-220-8771 for office questions and referrals. For peer support, call the Warmline at 515-310-3425.
What happens after I reach out?
Your inquiry starts a conversation about what you need and what options are available. You do not need to share your whole story. We do not promise a fixed response time or immediate availability.
How do referrals and housing applications work?
You can share GFA’s contact information with someone or call the office to discuss referral steps. A housing inquiry is separate from an application or admission decision. Each residence has its own process; an inquiry does not guarantee a bed.
What about language or accessibility needs?
Tell us what would help you participate. Ask about current language support and phone, video, or in-person options before making plans.
How is my information handled?
Use the Privacy Policy link below for the published policy. Contact Connect asks for contact details so someone can respond; it is not an anonymous form. Keep your message brief and avoid medical records, ID numbers, or detailed personal histories.
