About Recovery Chapel
Recovery Chapel of Springfield, Missouri is a church and a ministry for people in addiction recovery. They run long-term sober living homes for men as well as a church that doubles as a healing center for community members.
Recovery Chapel began in 2004 by a Chaplain who had just reached his 20-year sobriety anniversary. Today, they have 7 locations that together offer 76 beds.
Their sober living homes require at least a 6-month commitment. Many clients stay longer and go on to become staff or house leaders.
Recovery Chapel supports abstinence and pro-social life skills. They are not a detox facility, halfway house or homeless shelter. Residents pay a flat monthly amount for room, board and programming.
Sober Living for Springfield Men
Recovery Chapel is a sober campus. No one is permitted on the premises unless they are clean and sober. Residents in sober living homes must actively participate in a spiritual recovery program.
They highlight four areas: sobriety, housing, employment and social connections. I like that the goal of their program is to help each man find their way back to giving back to the community in a Godly path. This program is suited for men who want a faith-based program.
Residents are required to attend church and spiritual meetings.
Their spiritual teachings are Christ-centered and also embrace the 12-step philosophy. I appreciate that all of their staff are folks who have overcome addiction.
Shared Rooms and Communal Meals
Residents share a bedroom and enjoy meals served at their Bennett House. Residents can choose to pay either weekly or monthly. Each residence has HDTV or cable TV. They provide linens and bedding. Residents bring their own towels, clothes, toiletries, books and personal entertainment devices.
To enroll, you’ll fill out an application and then staff will contact you for an interview. I like that they don’t waste your time – they’ll only interview you if they have room and you seem like a good fit.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
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.
Drug rehab in Missouri usually involves several phases: detox, rehab, and aftercare. The rehab phase may include a combination of inpatient and outpatient treatments, as the individual moves through a continuum of care on their recovery journey.
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 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 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
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
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.
