gfa live-out program

GFA Live-Out Program aims to empower individuals in recovery by providing structure, accountability, and personalized support. Our mission is to guide participants in rebuilding their lives; emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. With compassion and grace, we aim to equip participants with the tools they need to maintain sobriety, develop resilience, and achieve lasting transformation.


Our Live-Out Program is designed to provide structure, accountability, and support for individuals working toward recovery and transformation. Participants live independently but are required to adhere to program rules and actively engage with the resources provided by Grace For Addictions (GFA).


Program Goals:
  • Promote accountability and personal responsibility.

  • Encourage community involvement and job readiness.

  • Foster emotional, mental, and spiritual growth.​​​​​
