Mary's House Center for Women
A testimony from lady overcoming addiction:
Women in Treatment:
In 2006 Mary's House finally became a reality. The need for
a women's treatment center for addiction and recovery is dervied from
consensus amoung qualified addiction professionals that the special needs of
treatment differ than those of men.
These different issues, such as fear of men from prior
toxic relationships, a background of inferiority and thus a tendancy to
remain quiet and secretive around men, and the obvious problem of
relationships forming while in treatment are a few reasons a separate
facility is imperative. Denny Smith and the Board of Directors have
always vowed to include women and to offer equal treatment, respect, level
of service and halfway house aftercare options.
Thus there are essentially two separate programs in
operation at Christian Love Ministries. The women even have their own
Market Place in Blairsville, Georgia where they take pride in making
donations as saleable as possible. There are plans to add another wing
to Mary's House Center for Women with Addiction.
Needs at Mary's House which you could provide:
The drug and alcohol abuse and recovery center at Mary's House for women
was named such because of the large contributions of time, talents and tithing
given freely by a woman who was a mentor and friend of Denny Smith.
Though she did not live to see its completion, the name stands in her honor.
Many women in particular have come to help with the ons going at Mary's
House Treatment Center in Murhpy.
Financial contributions at this time
in particular, given the state of the economy, are absolutely crucial to the
continuation of services at Mary's House, as well as with the entire
ministry. Please consider a tax deductible contribution of cash,
assets, material items for the Market Places to sell or
volunteering your
time.
(See CLM Endowment Fund)
Women role models are difficult to find at times. We know that
there are 1000's just within the local Murphy area right now. If you
have any spare time to offer these women as they overcome their personal
addictions to drugs and alcohol, we welcome your blessing. Until you
have experienced the imact and appreciation from one of our female students,
you cannot imagine what a blessing you will find!
Every weekend there
are four, 8 hour positions to fill at Mary's Treatment Center for Addiction.
One is given the keys, so to speak, and has complete authority to make yes
and no calls, to praise and to punish by writing a disciplinary form.
We offer training for this, so no one should expect to simply be tossed into
something they can't handle. There are many staff members who live on
the mountain available to help if the need arises.
Women who come to Christian Love Ministries seeking help for addictions
typically are hooked on crack, cocaine or coke, crystal meth or meth
/ methamphetamines, hydrocodone which can be Vicodin, Lortab, or one of many
cough medicines. Percocet, valium, xanax, and
oxycontin are common and our staff is very familiar with the
effects these drugs have an a person who has abused them over time.

method of treatment along with its success rate statistics
