Mercy House Day Program

A 30-Day Comprehensive Treatment Program for Men and Women in Crisis

"The home is the single most powerful arena on earth to change a life for God. Help change a mom or dad and you will change a child. The child will change the community and the community will change the world. Changed lives, changed hearts, that's our goal. Our vision is bold. Our vision is clear: 'Restoring hearts and homes!'"

- Rev. Cindy Kightlinger
Founder/Director

What is Mercy House?

Mercy House Day Program is a 30-Day comprehensive program for men and women in crisis,that provides a unique alternative to the traditional treatment of life-controlling problems. At our day site, we offer a comprehensive, structured program specializing in the skilled treatment of various emotional health issues as well as drug and alcohol education. Our treatment setting provides comfortable classrooms, ample space for recreation and supervision throughout the 9:00AM - 2:00PM day.

Mercy House Day Program addresses the full spectrum of a client's psychological, physical, and spiritual needs. Professional staff help each client discover and effectively address issues that might hinder or interfere with recovery. Anger, abuse, gender or relationship issues, are examples of topics discussed in group and individual therapy sessions. Our staff is committed to help each client discover how to regain dignity, self-confidence and how to lead non-destructive lifestyles.

The Day Program addresses many life management issues - guilt, shame, anxiety, depression, addiction, communication skills, how to enjoy healthy relationships with God, self and others.
