THE PROCESS OF HEALING BODY, MIND, AND SOUL
Our Process of Renewal
At Kathy’s House, our mission extends beyond helping someone achieve sobriety—we aim to heal the whole person, guiding them to embrace their God-given identity and purpose in life. It’s not just about recovery, but restoration to a life better than before.
True restoration begins with understanding each resident’s unique journey, from their fears and doubts to court requirements, family dynamics, education level, and substance abuse history. Every individual’s path is different, which is why we take a personalized approach to meet their specific needs.
Why is this important? Because successful reentry into society requires addressing the whole person—their physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs. The diagram below highlights six critical areas of life support that are essential to fostering complete restoration.
Six Pillars of Whole-Person Health
This includes schooling, vocational training, and practical life skills. Equipping individuals with knowledge and abilities empowers them to build a better, more sustainable life.
INTELLECTUAL NEEDS
This involves finding a church home, engaging in fellowship, participating in Bible study, and learning to live in a relationship with God. Understanding our identity in Christ is the cornerstone of spiritual wholeness.
SPIRITUAL NEEDS
Emotional healing and support can be especially intense for those overcoming addiction. They require substantial support to navigate feelings of distrust, anger, isolation, and the stigma associated with rejection, incarceration, or shame.
EMOTIONAL NEEDS
Healthy Relationships and Social Support, cultivating positive connections with family and friends is essential. Those recovering from addiction need strong, prosocial relationships to form a supportive network that fosters their healing and growth.
SOCIAL NEEDS
Life stability includes secure housing, reliable transportation, and a sustainable income to cover daily necessities. Learning to manage finances, pay bills, and live within a budget is crucial for long-term success and independence.
ENVIRONMENTAL NEEDS
Meeting physical wellness involves proper medical care, mental health support, and addiction treatment. For pregnant women and those in recovery, maintaining proper nutrition and incorporating daily exercise are vital to their overall well-being.
PHYSICAL NEEDS
Transforming Belief Systems to Build World Changers
