New Life Rehabilitation Program
The New Life classes are presented in two parts: (1) doctrinal – basic theology; and (2) practical – discipleship and spiritual growth.
Since many believers do not know who God is or who they are in Christ, Part 1, basic theology, is focused on the study of God and our identity in Christ. Our study of God concerns itself with the basic doctrines of God, the Bible, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and other doctrines, all on a layman’s level. In examining our identity in Christ, we base our study on the 36 things that God provided us at salvation.
Part 2, discipleship and spiritual growth, covers four different areas of practical understanding: a) their spiritual growth and development; b) their walk with God; c) their understanding of the Bible; and d) their understanding and using of their spiritual gifts.

This long-term (up to one year or more) program is built around a Christ-centered curriculum. The program staff work individually with residents to help them resolve diverse and intersecting problems so they can return to the community and sustain a productive life. The facility at 10 Mill Street has a capacity to accommodate up to 60 men.
Our holistic approach to health and healing focuses on these 5 Dimensions in our Wellness Track to create an Individual Plan:
- Body/Mind/Soul
- Substance/Recovery
- Environmental: Job, Home life, Housing, Education
- Relapse & Aftercare Planning
- Other: Legal, Financial, etc.
Learning Center: Workforce/HiSET
The Learning Center provides academic instruction for program residents. We begin with an assessment to determine the current academic level of residents so that individual plans can be developed for them. Our curriculum offers courses in reading, reading comprehension, writing, math, history, computer literacy and resume writing. We also offer training and testing for residents wishing to receive their HiSET diploma.
SRM collaborates with Mass Hire to provide career coaching, job readiness, access to training programs and higher education.
