About Haven of Rest Ministries
The Haven of Rest Ministries in Battle Creek, Michigan, opened in 1956 as a shelter for homeless men. Today, they still help homeless people with shelter and meals, but they also offer faith based addiction treatment for men and women. Their goal is to help clients heal, learn to rely on themselves, and be better parents if they have children.
Addiction Treatment Just for Women
The Women’s Life Recovery Program (WLRP) helps women break free from addiction while rebuilding their lives and family connections. You can participate whether you have children or not. WLRP lasts 6 to 12 months, and while you’re in the program, you’ll have access to a range of services.
I appreciate the holistic approach because it addresses not just the addiction, but also the emotional, spiritual, and practical parts of life. Treatment includes individual and group therapy, spiritual counseling, and life skills classes, to help you heal in all areas and build a stronger foundation for lasting recovery.
Your days will be structured, but you’ll still have time for physical fitness activities and trips to Battle Creek’s local library. If you have kids, they’ll be taken care of in a specialized children’s ministry.
Recovery Support for Men
The Men’s Life Recovery Program (LRP) is a year-long journey for homeless men who are ready to overcome addiction and build a solid future. By the time you finish, you’ll not just have tackled your addiction, you’ll have the skills to live independently.
LRP includes group and individual counseling. You’ll participate in life skills training to help you move toward permanent employment and housing. Even after graduation, you can stay connected, supporting other men who are just starting recovery.
Help for Your Kids
Homelessness has an impact on kids, and so does addiction. The Gain Access Program (GAP) is a place where homeless children can feel safe and supported. Here, they get help with schoolwork, have fun with friends, and learn how to build confidence, even in tough situations.
The Haven of Rest Ministries has a lot to offer for anyone facing homelessness and addiction. It seems like a good place for people who are ready to build a solid future after recovery.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements.

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
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 Michigan provides personalized treatment to help individuals break this cycle and regain control of their lives. Treatment methods are used in various levels of care, including inpatient rehab, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and standard outpatient treatment.
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



Clinical Services
Cognitive behavioral therapy in Michigan helps participants view challenges more clearly so they can respond to them in healthy ways. During a limited number of structured sessions, clients learn about and practice these changes to effectively address substance use and mental health disorders.
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.
During trauma therapy in Michigan, you are guided through traumatic memories within a safe and supportive environment. Your therapist then provides you with tools to process traumatic events and reduce the symptoms that occur when you're exposed to a trigger. This improves your overall mental health and ability to function in the community.
Both internal and external factors can put stress on a relationship. Couples therapy helps you and your partner work through those stressors and find healthy ways to deal with challenges as they arise.
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.
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.
Recreational therapy helps to build healthy habits and discover new interests that can reduce your cravings and your exposure to alcohol and drug triggers. Activities may include physical fitness, gardening, group games, and team sports. These promote relaxation, improve your mood, and encourage social interaction. Each of these is crucial to sustain long term recovery.
