In 2007 Footprints in Recovery became the first faith-based private substance abuse recovery facility on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Since then we have welcomed numerous recovering addicts into our home-like setting. At Footprints in Recovery we do understand the bondage of addiction, and educate our clients on the disease. We are equipped to address addiction by a holistic approach in a Christian environment. Our staff is committed to exemplify faith and hope, not only to our residents, but to their families. We are holistic in the sense that our approach facilitates healing of body, mind, and spirit. Individual and family counseling is provided by extraordinary licensed professionals. Being a small, private facility brings an enormous advantage over state and public detox wards and treatment hospitals. We provide a one-to-two staff ratio and our success rate far exceeds that of institutional treatments. We attribute this good news in large part to our in-depth education on relapse prevention. Other important and unique qualities of the Footprints in Recovery program include our attention given to daily living skills, budgeting and money management, anger management, and self-esteem training. Resident clients assist in,meal preparation, housekeeping and enjoy a variety of Outer Banks recreational activities. We host a family weekend gathering in both our 30 day and 60 day substance abuse treatment programs. Clients graduating from our 60 day recovery program are eligible to enter one of Footprint's longer-term affordable Sober Living homes for women and men. Here, the skills and tools learned during treatment become practical in a safe environment. Our guests report feeling welcomed into the Footprints family, not like a number or statistic. Our clients agree that the program at Footprints In Recovery nutures personal growth as a key component in being freed from the cycle of substance abuse.
