Answers to Common Questions

Location

The Living Recovery community is sited in Gainesville near the shores of Lake Lanier and at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This City of Excellence is the economic center of Northeast Georgia as well as home to more than 30,000 people.

The city is located in Hall County in Northeast Georgia. Hall County is 35 miles from Atlanta.

Northeast Georgia – and Hall County specifically – offers the best quality of life in the Southeast. For nearly two centuries, Hall County has been the focal point for arts, education, government and business in Northeast Georgia. Lake Lanier and the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains provide a beautiful backdrop for Hall County’s varied mix of agricultural, industrial, health-care and retail industries.

World-class sporting events, top-notch public and private schools, unmatched recreational opportunities, a thriving economy and the country’s friendliest residents are at home in Hall County.

Curriculum

What end result do we want to see?

Every part of Living Recovery is designed to rally women to …

1. Hope in God, not themselves, the cornerstone of recovery.
2. Help themselves, not hurt themselves, the discipline of recovery.
3. Opportunity, not impossibility, the promise of recovery.

However, the bedrock end result we are targeting is what we call “The Great Reversal”.

The Great Reversal

We believe that if a woman has clear direction, mutual support, and a growing reason to believe she truly can recover, then she is more committed to taking responsibly to meet the challenges of her life and to exceed her own expectation of what is possible when she learns to believe in herself again.

When she comes to realize that she is being transformed by the renewing of her mind into the person she always knew she could be, we believe she is experiencing what we like to call … The Great Reversal. It is the decision to change the direction she is looking for happiness.
