Transformative Journey to Renewal and Empowerment
At Maria House Lodge, recovery is more than healing—it is transformation. It is the deliberate act of reclaiming one’s life, rediscovering purpose, and walking boldly into a future filled with possibility. This transformative journey is designed to support men on their path to restoration, equipping them with the faith, tools, and confidence needed to step into independence and stability. Through spiritual growth, therapeutic support, professional development, and future-building strategies, participants move from survival to thriving.
Step 1: Rebuilding the Foundation
The first step in recovery is creating a strong foundation, and Step One is dedicated to strengthening both mind and spirit. Participants engage in Bible Study, where they explore the wisdom and teachings that provide encouragement, guidance, and renewal. Group Therapy fosters connection, allowing individuals to share their journeys, struggles, and victories in a supportive environment. Through individual counseling, men receive personal guidance tailored to their unique challenges, helping them navigate emotional wounds, past experiences, and future aspirations. Meanwhile, on-site tasks instill discipline, routine, and a sense of responsibility—reinforcing the power of structure in daily life.
Step 2: Building Toward a Future
With a strong foundation in place, Step Two introduces forward momentum. Participants continue with Bible Study, Group Therapy, Counseling, and On-Site Tasks, but now begin working toward a professional certification—a crucial step in their journey to self-sufficiency. Whether it’s a trade skill, a business credential, or another certification, this phase provides tangible career-building opportunities that will open doors to financial independence. Learning new skills and gaining accreditation fuels confidence, proving that a new life is not just possible—it is within reach.
Step 3: Preparing for Independence
As participants enter Step Three, the focus shifts to life readiness. Everything from the previous months continues, but now participants engage in job interviewing practice, apartment applications, networking, goal strategy, and future planning. This phase is all about preparing individuals for success beyond the program—helping them find employment, secure housing, build connections, and establish a blueprint for their future. Whether through resume building, interview training, or connecting with potential employers, Maria House Lodge ensures that participants step out with a clear direction, a support system, and a renewed sense of purpose.
AFter Step 3
Life Reclaimed
After the transformative journey, participants graduate—not just from the program, but into their new lives. By this point, they have strengthened their faith, developed vital skills, built a professional path, and prepared for independent living. The Maria House Lodge Treatment and Recovery Program is not just a place of healing—it is a launchpad for lasting success. It is a catalyst for empowerment, ensuring that each person steps forward with dignity, resilience, and the ability to create a life reclaimed.
For those ready to take the next step, Maria House Lodge stands as a beacon of hope, transformation, and unwavering support.
