The Road To Restoration

At Kathy’s House our goal is not just to get a person sober, but to heal the whole person to fulfill their God given identity and purpose in life. Better than before! Restoration requires getting to know each resident’s specific needs, including their fears and doubts, court requirements, family situation, level of education, history of substance abuse, and many other things. Why? To achieve successful reentry, the needs of the whole person must be met. The diagram below shows six vital areas of life support that must be considered when facilitating restoration

Six Areas of Whole Person Health

INTELLECTUAL NEEDS

Include schooling, vocational training, and practical skills for daily living. Knowledge enables a person to build a better life.

SOCIAL NEEDS

Having healthy connections with family and friends. Addicts need prosocial relationships as part of their support system.

EMOTIONAL NEEDS

Can be intense for addicts. They will need a great deal of support as they overcome the distrust, anger, isolation, and stigma of rejection, incarceration or shame.

SPIRITUAL NEEDS

Include a church home, fellowship, Bible study, and learning to live in relationship with God. Understanding our identity in God is key to Spiritual wholeness.

ENVIRONMENTAL NEEDS

Include housing, transportation, and an income that provides money for daily necessities. Learning to pay bills and live on a budget is essential.

PHYSICAL NEEDS

Include proper medical care, mental health, and treatment for addictions. Pregnant women and recovering addicts need proper nutrition and daily exercise.
