Alcohol and Drug Recovery Fund provides:
Alcohol & Drug Recovery Fund supported the rehabilitation services of Rancho de Cristo in Camalu.
Led by Ramon Avitia, medical doctor and pastor, this 5-acre ranch program ministers to about 25 men at a time, providing detox and recovery services for reentry into society free from the bondage of drugs and alcohol.
When a man’s addiction is broken, he can choose to remain in the halfway house at the ranch until his life has stabilized and he has learned job skills to help him become independent.
ADRF shipped a sea container filled with medical supplies worth $252,000 to Ellerslie Pen in Kingston, Jamaica, to benefit families in need of hospital care.
ADRF provided financial support for He Intends Victory, a Christian ministry to individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. A majority of service recipients also struggle with substance abuse. Educational, prevention, individual counseling and support group programs are active in 18 states plus the District of Columbia. Funds were earmarked for public education of youth in California regarding the dangers of alcoholism and drug abuse. It is estimated that over 500,000 individuals benefited from these services last year.
ADRF sent a grant in support of the life-changing faith-based detox and rehab programs of Teen Challenge Southern California. At its center in Riverside, 500 teenagers are involved in its one-year residential discipleship program at any given time. Recovery transforms broken lives. Research studies have document long-term cure rates of up to 85% for the Teen Challenge program.
The Lighthouse Care Center in Mbabane is a Christian residential treatment center.
ADRF provided a grant to Teen Challenge Swaziland to support its alcohol and drug recovery programs. They are delivered through The Lighthouse Care Center in Mbabane, which maintains 6 homes with over 100 in residence last year, mostly children and teenagers. Many also suffer from HIV/AIDS.
“We have seen tremendous growth in our patients,” reported the director. “It is a privilege to witness their changed lives. We have a wonderful group of guys who want to change their lifestyles and become positive forces in their communities. One of the hardest things we face is watching students leave before they complete the program. They usually last only a short while, and often return to us after being arrested again. There is simply nothing that compares with seeing those who have changed their lives walking on in the power and grace of God.”
