Heartland Recovery Programs

About Heartland Recovery Programs

Heartland Recovery Programs is a Missouri sober living operator running faith-based recovery homes for men and women in Bethel and La Belle, as an outreach of CNS International Ministries in the state's northeast.

An Outreach Ministry Running Recovery Housing

Heartland Recovery Programs operates as part of CNS International Ministries, a Christian ministry organization, and runs its housing on a faith-based model, not a clinical one. The two locations split by gender instead of sharing one coed building.

Serving Shelby and Lewis Counties

The operator's men's home sits in Bethel, in Shelby County, and its women's home sits in La Belle, in Lewis County, both in Missouri's rural northeast. Keeping men and women in separate towns as well as separate houses is a stricter split than many small operators manage.

A Small Rural Operator

Running two houses in two different small towns, instead of clustering both in one city, means Heartland Recovery Programs reaches a wider stretch of rural northeast Missouri than a single-site operator would. It suits residents who are already local to Shelby or Lewis County and want to stay near family during recovery.

Missouri Sober Living Certification

Missouri's certification for recovery residences, run through the Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers, is voluntary. Absence from the certified list does not reflect on how an operator runs its houses, and the guide above covers what MCRSP accreditation requires for an operator considering it.

Applying to a Heartland Recovery Programs Home

Men and women apply separately for the Bethel and La Belle houses. As an outreach of CNS International Ministries, the organization's faith-based approach carries through both properties.
