Christ-Centered
Rock Recovery’s approach to recovery is Christ-centered: through coming to internalize God’s love and immeasurable grace, individuals gain the courage to face the underlying root of their disorders, learn to love themselves, and ultimately discover that recovery is theirs to embrace. Rock Recovery Houses will be open to any individual willing to seek Christ’s healing power, regardless of his or her spiritual beliefs.
Rock Recovery House Operations
Each Rock Recovery House will provide housing and therapy for up to eight (8) women or men. Houses will operate in the evening, overnight, and morning hours 5 days per week, and full-time on weekends. Each resident will have an individualized eating and exercise plan, determined by a house nutritionist. Residents will be will be supervised at all times, in order to ensure a safe, abstinent living environment. Residents will leave and return from work at set times, be present for all treatment activities, eat meals as a group at pre-determined meal times, and refrain from eating and exercising outside of planned meal/exercise times. Rock Recovery Houses will be staffed by lifestyle coaches. These coaches will be individuals in long-term, solid recovery from eating and/or exercise disorders, or individuals who have experience working with food and/or exercise addicts. A “resident coach” will live in the house and will be responsible for night-time and morning house operations.

Rock Recovery House Oversight
As an organization, Rock Recovery will oversee all Rock Recovery House policies and procedures, to ensure that women are being treated with the upmost care and respect.
