Advent Group Ministries: Providing Hope and Healing to the Bay Area
Advent Group Ministries is a faith-based social-service agency that has been providing counseling and addiction recovery services in the Bay Area for over 50 years. Our mission is to provide hope and healing to those struggling with addiction, mental health issues, and other life challenges.
Our History
Founded in 1967 as a residential drug and alcohol treatment program for teens, Advent Group Ministries has grown over the years to include a teen outpatient recovery program, a community counseling center, and a refuge for women and their children. We have helped thousands of individuals find freedom from addiction, heal from trauma, improve their mental health, strengthen their relationships with loved ones, and build fulfilling lives.
Our Programs
At Advent Group Ministries, we offer a range of programs designed to meet the unique needs of each individual we serve. Our residential treatment program provides intensive support for teens struggling with substance abuse or co-occurring disorders. Our outpatient program offers flexible scheduling options for teens who need ongoing support while living at home or attending school. Our community counseling center provides affordable therapy services for individuals of all ages facing various challenges such as depression/anxiety disorders or relationship issues.
We also offer specialized programs such as our Women's Refuge which provides safe housing & supportive services to women & children fleeing domestic violence situations.
Our Approach
At Advent Group Ministries we believe that true healing comes from addressing the whole person - mind body & spirit - not just treating symptoms or behaviors. That's why our approach is holistic; we focus on helping individuals develop healthy coping skills while also addressing underlying emotional/psychological/spiritual issues that may be contributing factors in their struggles.
We use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) among others along with spiritual guidance through prayer/meditation/bible study etc., depending on client preferences.
Our Staff
Our staff consists of licensed therapists/counselors who are highly trained professionals dedicated to helping clients achieve lasting change in their lives. They bring expertise across multiple disciplines including psychology/social work/counseling/mental health nursing etc., ensuring that clients receive comprehensive care tailored specifically towards meeting their unique needs/goals.
