Review of NSpire Outreach

After 3 failed attempts of staying clean from drug...

After 3 failed attempts of staying clean from drugs, I was in the stage of beginning to embark on homelessness. Nspire has been much more than I bargained for. They're approach to Recovery is very unique in its vision. Instead of being a program of recovery using the standard 12 Step model, it takes it a step further by being a program of CHANGE or what I like to call RENEWAL. Moreover the vision of Nspire is holistic healing which even in the midst of my demonic addiction, I knew deep down, and have now confirmed for myself that hollistic healing of mind, body, and soul is the most fulfilling and worthwhile way to heal. It's not called Nspire (In spirit) for no reason. The staff bends over backwards to accommodate you to whatever needs you may have. Transportation, food, shelter, and clothing are all provided for you, as well as a daily schedule of activities that caters to inner renewal. There are 2 sets of classes throughout the week, 3 mandatory workouts, Bible study on Saturday and 2 drug/alcohol recovery meetings. The only thing you have to do to suceed is abide by the rules lined up for you, abide by the schedule and work for the clothing donation call center. Working is a way of giving back in order to make it possible for the program to be sustained since we're non profit and go solely off of donations. There is not really anything negative I can say about the execution of the program because of how brilliantly designed it is with an added bonus of being completely free for the first 13 weeks. It has to be the best decision I ever made for myself. I have now recently reached triple digits on the amount of days I have stayed completely clean and sober and I was never really sure that day would ever come. I'm currently experiencing the beauty and magic that is life after being blessed with the opportunity to be in such a warm welcoming enviornment with all the resources I could ever need to heal at my command. I'd like to thank all the staff members and current clients whom have made such a wonderful impact on my life. It has forever changed due to this community!
