The Men’s New Life Rehabilitation Program is a year-long, Biblically-based curriculum. The program staff work individually with residents to help them resolve a large number problems so they can return to the community and sustain a productive life. The Springfield Rescue Mission’s facility at 10 Mill Street has a capacity to accommodate 60 men.

Men’s Transitional Living Programs:

Graduates of the Men’s New Life Program stay for up to 12 additional months in the Transitional Living Program located at 148 Taylor Street (Springfield) on the Second Floor. The men live in an alcohol-free and drug-free environment and receive meals and case management before making a full transition to independent living. Men’s Transitional Program is an extension of Springfield Rescue Mission’s Men’s New Life program where men continue working towards making a full transition to independent living.
