Freedom from bondage. Freedom for life.
Resident Recovery Program
His Mansion's Resident Recovery Program is a one-year residential program designed to help men and women break free from the bondage of addiction and experience lasting transformation.
We believe recovery is more than sobriety: it is the freedom to live and love as God created us to be.
Who should apply
Addiction issues we address: drugs, alcohol, pornography, food, media, gambling, and other life-controlling issues.
Age: 18 to 40 and up. Applicants over 40 are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and we recommend you still apply.
Cost of the program: His Mansion is donor funded and does not generate revenue through its programs. A year's stay in the recovery program typically costs less than $1,000. Additionally, each Resident is required to have a Sponsor who provides $50 per month for personal expenses. For more information about program costs, call (603) 464-5555.

The elements of the program
-
Formational Counseling
Residents receive weekly one-on-one counseling that is designed to build self-awareness, build emotional resilience, process relational dynamics, and empower personal agency through goal setting. Our counselors foster a safe space for men and women to engage their story, reframe their thought-patterns, and experience the love of Jesus in everyday life.
-
Recovery-Focused Education
Residents engage with evidence-based recovery curriculum designed to support lasting freedom from addiction and holistic transformation. The material equips Residents to recognize addictive triggers, challenge destructive thought patterns, and develop healthy coping skills while integrating recovery with spiritual formation, character development, relational growth, and emotional health.
Trusted Staff lead Residents through teaching, dialogue, personal processing, and practical application, helping them move beyond knowledge to lasting change.
-
Meaningful Work
Residents participate in meaningful work as an essential part of their recovery and formation. They maintain the campus, steward their living spaces, and contribute to the community through practical responsibilities.
Through this work, Residents learn that healthy living involves responsibility, diligence, stewardship, and a willingness to contribute to something greater than themselves. Rather than viewing work simply as a task to complete, Residents learn to see it as an opportunity to develop character, serve others, and practice the habits necessary for a healthy and purposeful life.
-
Community Life
In the recovery program, Residents live in a communal environment designed to cultivate healthy habits through daily prayer, corporate worship, family-style meals, personal fitness, and meaningful relationships. The structure of the program encourages Residents to develop discipline, consistency, and integrity through the ordinary rhythms of daily life.
As they practice these habits together, Residents learn to take responsibility for their choices and build a sustainable way of life beyond addiction.

“The more honest I got, the more love I received. Living as an addict for ten years came with a lot of shameful choices, but today I feel no shame over my past. The Lord's light shines on every part of it. There is no wound, past, present, or future, that is outside of Jesus' ability to heal.”
