What Is First Contact?

You are not alone.

First Contact Addiction Ministry was formed in 2011 by a group of individuals struggling with the devastation and heartbreak resulting from substance abuse. It was through this experience that they learned how frightening and difficult the process of navigating addiction assistance, law enforcement issues, and recovery options in our community can be.

GET IN TOUCH with FIRST CONTACT

Because addiction and substance abuse often are associated with a social stigma, many addicts and their families suffer in silence due to fear and potential incrimination.

This Christian-based group formed a simple plan for sharing what they learned with others in the community facing similar challenges, and began assisting individuals and family members, one-on-one, through the addiction recovery process.

With the assistance of Mud Creek Baptist Church in Hendersonville, NC, we started a weekly support group for family members, as well as a mentor group for individuals seeking recovery support. In time, as word of the much needed assistance has spread, the group has grown, along with the vision for expansion.

In 2016, First Contact Ministries, Inc. received the “tax exempt” designation as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are looking forward to the future where we can soon provide in-house rehabilitation support, and additional programs for recovering addicts.
