Henderson County In Crisis

Substance abuse & addiction are increasing to epidemic proportions within our small, WNC communities. Every morning, thousands of people in Henderson County alone wake up to another day controlled by drug & alcohol addiction.

For every one of them, an average of five other loved ones is suffering alongside, often in silence.  Think you’re not affected by addiction?  Think again.  Here are the statistics.

Addiction Statistics for Henderson County, NC

The Cries for Help are Overwhelming

In the past 4-5 months alone, First Contact Addiction Ministries has documented contact with over 600 of local members of our community who are seeking assistance with addiction and recovery.  The demand for help is much greater than the county’s capacity to provide the assistance.  In addition, the number of treatment centers is extremely limited, while the cost for treatment is often prohibitively high.  Because of this, many go untreated.

A Synergistic, Christ Centered Solution 

In response, Mud Creek Baptist Church has proposed an offer to lease church owned acreage to First Contact Ministries, Inc for the development of a “Life Enhancement Center”.  The center would be home to a 7 1/2 month faith-based, residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program for men and women.

See the proposed architectural drawing (elevation) of the building.

See the proposed site plan for the building.

About the Program

This voluntary program will be available to individuals who meet the following criteria:

  • They have demonstrated recognition of their need.
  • They are genuinely seeking real life change.
  • They are willing to commit to the terms of the program.

This program will NOT be available to individuals who:

  • Have mental or behavioral health issues (other than addiction).
  • Are seeking residency from the homeless shelter or mission.
  • Have a history of violent, or sex-related criminal behavior.

Facility Security Features

The Life Enhancement Center program is a voluntary program, designed specifically for individuals who are committed to creating positive and lasting change in their lives.  While this is NOT a “lockdown” facility, First Contact is committed to providing a safe and secure environment in which program participants can thrive.  The following safety measures will be employed at the facility:

  • Cameras will be located inside the building, and at all exits.
  • Exits will have an alarm that alerts staff upon opening.
  • Facility doors will be locked each evening.
  • Staff escorts will be required for anyone leaving the facility.
  • Participants exiting the program prematurely will be transported out of the community.

Hendersonville, NC Free Drug & Alcohol Addiction Assistance

First Contact Addiction Ministries provides free support services for addiction & recovery in Hendersonville NC, Henderson County, and Western North Carolina.

Substance abuse & addiction are serious issues, and they are increasing to epidemic proportions within our small, WNC communities. As the crisis grows, local government, hospitals & jails are ill-equipped to meet increased demands for crisis management & rehabilitation.

Every morning, thousands of people in Henderson County wake up to another day controlled by drug and alcohol addiction. For every one of them, an average of five other loved ones are suffering alongside, often in silence.

If you or a loved one are suffering with substance abuse disorders, we can help. We understand how difficult and confusing it can be to navigate the addiction and recovery process. That’s why we offer free education and guidance to assist you.

Our caring community of support is here for you. We provide encouragement and assistance for individuals & families suffering with the trauma associated with substance abuse disorders and addiction.
