About Charlotte Rescue Mission

Charlotte Rescue Mission has operated residential treatment and sober living programs in Charlotte since 1938, specializing in recovery services for men and women experiencing homelessness and addiction. The mission offers a comprehensive 120-day residential program followed by up to two years of transitional housing support.

Charlotte Rescue Mission operates as a residential treatment and recovery center at the intersection of homelessness and substance abuse treatment in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded in 1938, this recovery community has developed specialized programs serving individuals who face both addiction and housing challenges across Mecklenburg County and throughout North Carolina.

The mission provides residential treatment through two primary locations: the Rebound Men's Addiction Recovery Center on West 1st Street and the Dove's Nest Women's Program on West Boulevard. Their recovery model centers on a 120-day residential program that incorporates 12-step principles, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and faith-based Christian programming. Beyond initial residential treatment, participants can access sober living through Recovery Living transitional housing for up to two years, creating an extended recovery community framework.

Treatment approaches combine CBT with 12-step principles and Christian programming, addressing substance use disorders, alcoholism, drug addiction, co-occurring disorders, and trauma. The Beyond 120 Days continuum extends support well past initial residential treatment, while the Community Matters Café provides ongoing lifeskills training as part of comprehensive aftercare programming.

Charlotte Rescue Mission serves men, women, and women with children, particularly those dealing with co-occurring disorders and trauma alongside addiction. Under the leadership of President & CEO Trina Fullard, all residential recovery programs are provided at no cost, removing financial barriers that often prevent access to long-term addiction treatment and recovery community support.

Residential Treatment Programs

Charlotte Rescue Mission operates residential treatment through two specialized facilities designed for different populations. The Rebound Men's Addiction Recovery Center provides comprehensive addiction treatment for men experiencing substance use disorders, while the Dove's Nest Women's Program serves women and women with children facing similar challenges.

Both residential programs follow a 120-day treatment model that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, 12-step principles, and faith-based Christian programming. This extended residential treatment timeline allows participants to develop stable recovery foundations before transitioning to less intensive levels of care within the recovery community.

Sober Living and Recovery Housing

Recovery Living transitional housing extends the treatment continuum for up to two years beyond initial residential programming. This sober living component addresses the critical gap between residential treatment and independent living, particularly important for individuals who previously experienced homelessness.

The extended housing model creates opportunities for sustained recovery community engagement while participants rebuild life skills and financial stability. Community Matters Café provides ongoing lifeskills training as part of the comprehensive aftercare support system.

Specialized Population Focus

Charlotte Rescue Mission specifically serves individuals at the intersection of addiction and homelessness, addressing co-occurring disorders and trauma alongside substance abuse treatment. This specialized approach recognizes that traditional outpatient programs may not adequately serve populations facing housing instability.

The mission provides treatment for substance use disorders, alcoholism, drug addiction, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Women with children receive dedicated programming that addresses family reunification goals alongside individual recovery objectives.

Beyond 120 Days Continuum

The Beyond 120 Days program represents the mission's commitment to long-term recovery support beyond initial residential treatment. This continuum recognizes that sustainable recovery often requires extended community support, particularly for individuals rebuilding their lives after experiencing homelessness.

Participants can access ongoing recovery community resources, lifeskills development through Community Matters Café, and continued housing support through Recovery Living. This comprehensive aftercare model addresses the reality that addiction treatment requires sustained engagement rather than short-term intervention.
