Women's Restoration, Inc.

Women's Restoration is committed to the restoration of women overcoming addiction from a Christ-centered perspective.

Women's Restoration is a regeneration program to help women who need to be freed from addiction to drugs and alcohol. Our program requires a twelve month, onsite-living commitment that begins with an orientation to develop a relationship with the Lord and gain an understanding of the Women's Restoration curriculum. Basic Biblical principles are taught as well as how to build and maintain healthy relationships. Throughout the program, small group methods are used to address the spiritual, mental, and physical issues involved in addiction.

The final phase of the program concentrates on discipleship. Each woman learns to take the focus off of her addiction and to walk in the truth of who God says she is. During her program, every woman is assigned to a work task. The purpose of the final phase is to instill work ethic, apply relational skills, and develop team work in a closely supervised environment. All of these skills will help each woman establish a stable life after graduation of the program.

Testimonials

The concept of Women's Restoration was formed while my husband and I were participating in the Servant Leadership Training (SLT) program at Dunklin Memorial in Okeechobee, Florida.

In 1989, the Lord delivered Albert and I from drugs and alcohol after attending a church service. It is only by the grace of God that we are alive today. The choices we made were leading to a life of destruction.

Albert met his mentor, Buster Dupuis, in 2005 at an Overcomers Meeting and found out about a men's program that God had birthed in him. Immediately, Albert felt called to train at Dunklin Memorial. Of course, I was hesitant because I was leaving my family behind. After much prayer, I knew we had to go. Albert and I began SLT classes where I was forced to look at myself, the choices I made, and the people I hurt along the way. After several months of SLT, I began the Inner Healing phase. This is when I learned that forgiveness is the key to spiritual maturity and the Cross is the focal point of forgiveness.

I knew that if the Lord could forgive me for all I had done, He could do the same in the lives of other women struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. I shared with Albert what the Lord was birthing inside of me to help wounded women. That is when we prayed for the next step and knew that I would need training. We then contacted The Refuge Ranch, a well-established regeneration program for women, and they offered for me to train at their facility in Okeechobee, Florida. I trained there for twelve months and am now equipped to offer the same help to women in Terrebonne Parish, Lafourche Parish and surrounding areas. We look forward to providing this much needed service to our community.
