The classes, group interaction, transition coach plan and accountability requirements are designed to help women find a relationship with God, themselves and others. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving Christian environment where women can learn to live free of destructive habits, behaviors and relationships while becoming self-supportive. Residents will receive a certificate of completion when they have completed their plan.

Upon Entering the program each resident is assigned a Transition Coach, who is a trained volunteer. Each coach will work with just one woman at a time for the entire year she is in the program. Her coach will meet with her weekly to provide assistance where needed in achieving the goals she has set for herself.

Each woman who chooses to go through the Passages Transformation Program must:

• Comply with nightly curfew
• Agree to comply with the house rules
• Pay a program fee
• Share in maintaining the household
• Submit to random drug testing
• Participate in weekly Life Skills classes
• Attend weekly Celebrate Recovery and/or AA or NA meetings
• Attend a religious service of their choice

Program Duration

The Passages Transformation Program is designed to be completed in 18 months. Passages participants are asked upon applying to commit to a minimum of six months to be completed. After completion of six months, women may be invited to apply for the full year long program to complete the eighteen months.

Passages is a place where women can begin again by learning to put the pieces of their lives back together. We are glad that you are at a time in your life when you see change as a positive decision.
