Regeneration Program

Our regeneration program is a 10-month, faith-based, long-term process of recovery. The purpose of the regeneration program is to provide an opportunity for the men at NLB to learn to take responsibility for their own recovery and adopt a whole lifestyle change.

There are four classes that comprise the regeneration program:

Orientation (7-8 weeks):
Orientation begins immediately following the applicant’s successful completion of the intake interview. No Longer Bound is able to evaluate the participant to determine if the man truly wants help. Upon completion of Orientation, he will have completed a personal contract detailing specifi c goals he intends on reaching while at No Longer Bound.

Regeneration (9-12 weeks):
Regeneration is an intensive study in the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction, the treatment, and the recovery and aftercare. Homework, individual counseling, classroom teaching, small groups are tools used during Regeneration.

Inner Healing (8 weeks):
Inner Healing is the phase where each man learns that God cannot change his present condition unless he is willing to let go of the past. He learns that forgiveness is the key to mental health and that Christ is central to all forgiveness. The key to Inner Healing is the application of the Gospel in his life.

Discipleship (8-10 weeks):
Discipleship emphasizes the deeper commitment and understanding the teaching of Jesus Christ. Building strong Christian character and reinforcing biblical values are the goals we strive for. Throughout his time at No Longer Bound, each man participates in work therapy. We have found that a balance of class work, counseling, and working together with other men in the program provides a healthy environment for growth and sustained sobriety.

After successfully completing the Regeneration Program, a man may stay for our Servant Leadership Training program.
