About Faith Mission – New Beginnings
Faith Mission - New Beginnings is a faith based social services organization in Wichita Falls, Texas. They offer several different programs to help adolescents and adults in the city, including homeless shelter services, case management, and residential addiction recovery treatment. They also provide job readiness training and transitional housing. Their recovery program is free to all participants, but you have to apply and go through a screening process first.
Their addiction recovery program helps men and women who are struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. You’ll stay in a dorm style setting with semi private rooms for a total of 13 months. In addition to counseling, you’ll also participate in their work therapy program, which teaches you responsibility, accountability, and teamwork. Something that strikes me about this program is the number of different jobs you can hold based on your interests and abilities. For example, you might work in food service, housekeeping, landscaping, retail, or receiving dock operations, to name a few.
There are separate programs for men and women, and you can earn off campus passes and family visits for good behavior. Some of the other programs you may participate in as you live on site include Bible studies, recovery focused education, and life coaching. Some of the topics you’ll cover in your classes include how to break the patterns of codependency, how to take care of yourself, and how to address family issues as you build healthy boundaries.
One former client said they’re now clean, sober, and delivered from addiction and homelessness thanks to this program. They explained that it’s the ideal place to turn to when you need an extra push to get your life back on track.
Treatment
at Faith Mission – New Beginnings
Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug Addiction
During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Levels of Care
at Faith Mission – New Beginnings
Inpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Aftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Clinical Services
at Faith Mission – New Beginnings
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life Skills
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
