Life Recovery Program

The Ventura County Rescue Mission offers an extensive drug and alcohol recovery program. It is a free, 10-month, Christian-based, residential recovery program that provides Biblically-based structure and applied discipline for living an overcoming life.

For those interested in joining the Recovery Program, we require an in-person interview of all prospective program clients. These are conducted every Monday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Program applicants must bring:

  • A valid ID (Social Security card, driver’s license, or state-issued ID card)
  • A current TB test card

Our program provides individual counseling, case management, and classes that include: Christian 12 Steps, Anger Management, and classes dealing with Biblical and Spiritual issues.

We offer our program residents the benefits of an outstanding culinary school, warehouse vocational training, computer skill development, and other vocational training opportunities.

For more information or to schedule an intake appointment call (805) 512-7650. Intake interviews are conducted twice monthly on Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
