Rising Above The Fold<\/h2>\n

CORE has been helping people overcome addiction for 22 years now! We\u2019ve learned what works and what doesn\u2019t, and we strive to make sure that CORE offers the best possible programs and environment for our clients.<\/p>\n

At CORE, we don\u2019t just teach a class and send clients on their way; we also provide housing for them and give them an opportunity to experience community with others who are in similar situations as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore of the magic, or the miracle if you will, takes place in their home environment than in this facility,\u201d says our Executive Director Cary McKee.<\/p>\n

Living in the home allows them to spend time with their peers, hold each other accountable, and communicate what they\u2019ve learned with one another.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s where the greatest growth comes from, soaking it in and allowing it to be watered,\u201d said McKee.<\/p>\n

All clients are required to abstain from any drugs or alcohol while they are in the CORE program. Unfortunately, those who do not follow this rule must be asked to leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to be concerned with the safety and spirituality of the remaining clients,\u201d said McKee.<\/p>\n

This is one of the hardest parts of our job, and we hate seeing when clients don\u2019t fully embrace the recovery program.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt only works if the person is ready for it,\u201d says McKee.<\/p>\n

Clients pay on a weekly basis, which is where most of the funding for CORE comes from. It\u2019s important for clients to be giving back and contributing to payments.<\/p>\n

\u201cFree rides don\u2019t benefit anyone, \u201c said McKee.<\/p>\n

CORE is also extremely lucky to have a wide group of supporters who donate to our cause. These donations are a key part to us being able to continue to grow and expand our services, especially since as of April 1st, CORE is no longer dependent on any government funding. Since the grant CORE had previously been receiving cannot be given to an establishment that teaches the gospel of Christ, we have chosen to forgo this grant.<\/p>\n

\u201cShould we ever jeopardize our values for the sake of a dollar, this organization would likely not exist,\u201d said McKee.<\/p>\n

The Christian foundation and values taught at CORE are part of what sets us apart from other secular recovery programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only solution we teach is God,\u201d says McKee.<\/p>\n

In the future, CORE hopes to continue expanding our program to other communities in nearby states. The goal is to eventually offer an intensive 30 day treatment program to the community, and to continue improving our program to address the specific needs of our clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerfecting anything that is mental and spiritual is impossible,\u201d says McKee, but we hope to constantly be asking how can we improve and how can we glorify God?<\/p>\n
