Helping Up Mission raises up broken men and women, and Greater Baltimore with them. They believe God’s love can set people free — from drugs and alcohol, from poverty and homelessness, and from any other self-destructive behavior. However, it’s not enough to tell a person who has struggled with addiction for years that “Jesus loves you” and expect a miraculous recovery. Contrary to common thinking, addiction is not simply the result of poor personal choices, immorality, or weakness. It’s much more complex.

Helping Up Mission approaches treatment as holistic in nature. Their Spiritual Recovery Program integrates the practical needs of their clients — food, clothing, shelter — with their clinical, mental health, medical, educational, and vocational needs. All of that is built upon a Gospel foundation. And by God’s grace, it can lead to lasting change.
