Pivot Ministries

beyond. Pivot Ministries is an integrated service delivery system, which includes three phases of living (Crisis, Stabilization and Transitional). Helping men with alcohol and substance addictions requires a combination of services. Pivot addresses both immediate physical needs (such as shelter, food) and long-term stability (through counseling, healthcare assistance and job skills training). The core of Pivot’s programming however is treatment of addiction as a spiritual problem. Pivot is known as a safe place, a sanctuary for men in trouble. Through acceptance, discipline and structure, men gain the emotional and spiritual confidence to meet the challenges of life without depending on drugs and/or alcohol.Pivot runs a very structured program whereby each participant is expected to follow a rigorous schedule of daily activities, which includes: personal counseling, a bible based curriculum of study, life skills training, educational tutoring, AA meetings and chore duties. Each resident is assigned a pastoral counselor with whom they meet six sessions per month.
