C.O.M.O. RECOVERY

---

C.O.M.O. Recovery is a faith-based program offering a long term process of healing and recovery for people struggling with addiction or those hopeless in spirit. All that is asked of prospective participants is a sincere willingness to change.  The goal of the program is to foster growth into wholeness and health.

$50 is what it cost for to provide housing, food and services for one resident for one day.

Text GIVE to (614) 412-5545 to donate via text. 

You may also "SPONSOR" a resident by sending items (ex. Candy bag, Fast Food Meal, Care Package) to them monthly. 

The C.O.M.O. Recovery Family Group is lead by parents of a graduate of the program and associated with the Westerville Nar-Anon Family Group

The Nar-Anon Family Group is primarily for you who have known a feeling of desperation concerning the addiction problem of someone very near to you. We have traveled that unhappy road too and found the answer with serenity and peace of mind.

When you come into the family group, you are no longer alone but among true friends who understand your problem as few others could. We respect your confidence and anonymity, as we know you will respect ours. We hope to give you the assurance that no situation is too difficult and no unhappiness is too great to be overcome.

Our program, which is not a religious one but a spiritual way of life, is based on the Twelve Steps of Nar-Anon. We've found that the working of these steps will bring the solution to practically any problem. 

We take this program and its twelve steps seriously. It has been as helpful to us as the Narcotics Anonymous program is to the addict. We only ask for the wisdom and courage to see ourselves as we really are, to do something about ourselves with the help of a Higher Power, as we understand this, and for the grace to release our addicts with love and cease trying to change them.

With the understanding that addiction is a disease, and the realization that we are powerless over it, as well as over other people's lives, we are ready to do something useful and constructive with our own. Then, and only then, can we be of any help to others.

Our meeting is located at St. Paul Catholic Church (Parish Office facing State Street. NOT in the main church). We meet from 7-8 pm on Monday’s.

C.O.M.O. Recovery is a faith-based program offering a long term process of healing and recovery for people struggling with addiction or those hopeless in spirit. All that is asked of prospective participants is a sincere willingness to change.  The goal of the program is to foster growth into wholeness and health.

The initial phase of the program, or Induction, lasts 40 days. During this phase, individual needs are assessed, the program’s structure is established in the participant’s life and basic coping skills are introduced.  The environment provided is safe and free from all distractions. During Induction there are no phone calls, visits or internet activity. This time is critical to our participants to allow the "fog" to lift so they may begin to think clearly in order to progress in the program.

The second phase of the program begins after the initial 40 days and may last twelve to fourteen months. The goal of the journey inward is to discover habitual or addictive thought processes, patterns, and behaviors that lead to soul-damaging character defects. This phase is front loaded with a variety of coping skills necessary for the journey inward. We also introduce a biblical view of the traditional 12 steps. The focus during this phase is acceptance, surrender, willingness and self-discovery. 

The third phase of the program begins after acceptance, surrender, willingness and self discovery have all taken place. Understanding that individuals learn and heal at different rates, this phase begins no sooner than 12 months after beginning the program and can last as long as forward progress and willingness remain. The journey outward is the journey back to a healthy and productive life. The focus during this phase includes, but is not limited to, basic life skills, self maintenance, and healthy work habits. 

By tailoring the program to an individuals’ skills, talents, gifts and abilities and immersing them in a community of faith they obtain the tools for a healthy and productive life intent on service.
