About Valley Rescue Mission

Valley Rescue Mission Columbus is a faith based charitable organization for men, women and children located in Columbus, Georgia. They provide many different community services including food assistance, ministry outreach and housing shelters. They also offer residential addiction treatment programs for men and women who are struggling with chemical dependency. Their services are available free of charge.

Their treatment programs are gender specific so you can focus on your recovery without distractions or temptations. Each program lasts nine to 12 months and includes an initial 90 day evaluation period. During that time you’ll engage in recovery focused classes and participate in work therapy. You’ll also attend worship services, daily devotions and Bible studies. Once you’ve completed this first stage you’ll move into a residential recovery center.

At the recovery center you’ll learn how to lean on Jesus Christ as you rebuild your life and overcome addiction. You’ll meet with a counselor to discuss how you can improve your self esteem, strengthen your relationships and develop discipline. Each day you’ll participate in life skills training, Bible studies, work therapy and addiction recovery classes.

In addition to those first two phases they also offer an optional aftercare phase. This program gets you ready to reintegrate into society. You’ll meet with job coaches and get help with steps like resume writing and interviewing. Some participants go on to work with the facility after they graduate.

A former client says this is a great place to go if your life has become unmanageable. Another said that the people who work there know how to help you overcome addiction and reclaim your life.

The men running the shelter are wicked and corrupt. Even when they feed the homeless they make trays for staff in front of people instead of before.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

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).

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

The Motts were friends of mine so when my mother died I decided to give Valley Rescue Mission her clothes ( she had 47 jackets and enough clothes for 10 women to wear. There was furniture, books and kitchen wear. if you are donating and they are picking up, make sure everything you want them to pick up is on their list. I had to fill my car with things and give them to Good Will. I also still have a bedroom suite to dispose of. I won't be donating again. The men picking up were more interested in the next two pick ups and left high quality furniture that they could have sold.

They help the homeless out very well and I believe it's one of the best if not the best one I have ever heard of or seen

The Valley Rescue Mission is an amazing place to go if your life has become unmanageable or if you are working but need a little extra assistance as a man to get things fully back on track. I highly recommend it.

Tried to get my cousin in the shelter part he isn't a drug head or anything like that he just needs a place that can guide him in the right place and they had an open and refused to take him in said it's because he has adhd but yet he is 23 yrs old and you can't even tell that he has it they claim to be Christian base but treated him like he was a criminal and was very rude to me as well it is clear they are not here to help people but to just collect money off the government it's a shame and I will be turning this place into better business Beaulieu

Valley Rescue is a great backup support for the forgotten of the community. Brings dignity back to people's life. I used to donate a moderate amount 5 hundred + a year. 10% of sales I made purchased there. It used to be a great place to by gold and silver jewelry,silver pieces, antique books,and good watches and collectables. Somehow they have all but disappeared.Found out that one single person gets to go through it all and buy it out the back door. Hey valley how about giving all of us a chance. How about an valley auction site or a in store auction? They lord said cast your bread upon the water. Good advice. How about giving us a chance for a change? By the way. What happened to the old pocket knives? Haven't seen one of them in awhile.

Nice organized store with friendly staff. Plenty of clothes, shoes, furniture, appliances and some bric brac. Also, wall deco.Located next to the actual mission facility where homeless people are helped. Plenty of parking. Have been here several times and always felt safe even though in a run down area of town.
