Come As You Are is a Chapter of Breaking Bonds Ministries in Jonesboro, AR whose vision is to provide FREE Christ Centered addiction treatment Nationwide! Breaking Bonds currently operates as a men only 7-month program. In line with their vision of planting Breaking Bonds programs nationwide, Come As You Are will be their first location for women and first chapter outside of Arkansas.
Our residential treatment program provides 24-hour long-term care for 12 months to women who are 18 years of age or older and have come to a place of true brokenness and are ready to surrender their lives to becoming new in Jesus Christ.
The focus is on helping the women spiritually learn or re-establish healthy functioning skills, and values. Our program also encourages the involvement of family in the journey. Since addiction and associated recovery are very much interconnected with family, we encourage them to visit during specified days and times while their loved one is in treatment.
Our treatment program is comprised of phases which provide individuals the opportunity to progress in treatment by meeting specific goals. While all phases include individual and group spiritual counseling, life skills coaching, identifying root causes of addiction.
Intensive Treatment Phase is the initial entry phase. The first four months of the program. This phase is highly structured and allows residents to be fully engaged in their recovery. Residents schedules are customized to address unique needs of each individual and tailored to address not just addiction, but wellness of the mind, body and most important their spirit during their stay. It is designed to emphasize personal spiritual growth through study of The Word, taking self-inventory, becoming a willing participant as well learning to become personally accountable.
After the Intensive Treatment phase, the Repair/ Action phase is months five through eight. They include a more defined focus on the development and enhancement of Life Skills (including budgeting, interviewing & good work practices), the development of problem solving skills and interpersonal skills, and the application of principles to effect personal change in thinking, attitude & actions. This phase continues to increase the individuals responsibility, by beginning to integrate skills learned into their life. This phase also includes having the individual seek employment, resume writing and job application/placement services, and integrate recreational activities, while under the guidance and support of a counselor.
As they progress through treatment, individuals will be encouraged to keep practicing their new, healthy behaviors while adjusting, and to develop a healthy support network that will serve them after they leave the program.
The Maintenance Treatment phase is months nine through 12 of the program. It is a critical phase and includes educational service including literacy testing, a GED program, assistance in reinstatement of driver’s license, resolving court issues, reinstatement of fines, reestablishing visits with probation/parole, and safe housing plan. As they progress through treatment, individuals will be encouraged to keep practicing their new, healthy behaviors while adjusting, and to develop a healthy support network that will serve them after they leave the program.
This is a voluntary program. Upon entry all residents are made aware that they are enrolled by free-will and are under no obligation to stay, however choosing to leave before completion or taking actions that cause a resident to be dismissed will result in permanent termination.
