About Raleigh Rescue Mission

Located in Raleigh, North Carolina is the Raleigh Rescue Mission. This is a non-profit, faith-based organization that provides emergency services and community support services to adults, children, and families who are experiencing homelessness.

Going beyond just providing support that addresses housing insecurity, the Raleigh Rescue Mission can also connect you to different programs that will improve your overall health and well being. They also offer their own programming including rehabilitation programs for families and single adults to help you reclaim your life.

Through these programs and services, you’ll have access to counseling, treatment, and even medication support to address a coexisting substance abuse or mental health struggles you’re facing.

New Life Plan Program

One of the most comprehensive services they offer here is their New Life Plan Program. This program puts you in permanent housing while you receive services like job training, job placement, transportation support, and financial coaching.

At the heart of this program is compassionate and loving support from your case manager and other staff. While these services will help improve your life, it’s the compassionate care that really drives home the notion that you have what it takes to lead a fruitful life. Many people enrolled in this program receive services for around a year before they’re able to move forward independently.

Referral Services

There is a homeless service resource referral card that can connect you to different resources including treatment for substance abuse struggles you may be experiencing. Through their New Life Plan Treatment Program, you’ll also be assigned a client success manager. This manager can connect you to different programs and services in the community that can address your substance use struggles as well.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
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 iconAftercare 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).

Treatments

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.

There are many types of drug rehab in North Carolina. To receive treatment for addiction, you can choose from many inpatient and outpatient programs. Often, participants start with detox and work through a full continuum of care that continues with ongoing support for long-term recovery.

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 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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

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 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.

I had an appointment to meet face to face with Ms. Carla. I was greeted by her coworker or an assistant who accepted the donated items on Carla's behalf. It felt more like a transaction vs. a personable experience with the organization. I will not be donating to Raleigh Rescue again.

Hello and thank you for your donation. Please know that anyone from our Volunteer Engagement Team will meet donors when they arrive to drop off donations, not one particular individual. Whoever is available at the time greets guests to take care of their needs.

Im a Owner Operator Truck driver. I delivered a load and the place i delivered to left some food products on my trailer. I was about to trash it just to get it out my trailer. Then I decided to call a shelter to see if I can give it to them. I called and Robert answered. I explained my situation to him. He said he will be happy to except it. So I drove their, Robert and I think the other guy name was Trent. I just know he was wearing a burgundy sweat suit. Sorry if I got your name wrong. Anyways they got the stuff off my trailer. I'm happy I was able to give it to them instead off throwing it in the trash. Robert and the other guys I spoke with was extremely friendly.

James is very condescending in my opinion.I came for help after already stating that I was a former client the week prior and they told me to come on Tuesday at 10 which I did just for them to say they just recently put a hold on accepting former clients. James couldn’t remember whether or not I was a good client or not or even my name but he remembered me getting diagnosed with a mental disorder which never happened.Very disrespectful I’d say.
