After clients complete the 90 day program, they may opt for a 45 day extension in our vocational rehab program. This allows clients to look for gainful employment while remaining in a safe, sober environment. Many of our clients decide to apply for a Pell-grant and enroll at CPCC. During this time, the client usually remains in his therapeutic job slot (unless he has outside employment). They are still required to attend AA or NA meetings.
After the 45 day extension, clients may then apply to move into our half way house. This building is located next to our main campus building and has 14 beds and a full time counselor on staff. Clients must have a job in order to stay and are required to pay a program fee. This is a stepping stone back into society. Again, they remain in a sober environment and are contributing members of society. Some clients move into the half way house and are hired at Charlotte Rescue Mission to perform various job duties such as van drivers, facility techs & med techs.

I have a historical question – is the current location of the Charlotte Rescue Mission on W. First St part of the land previously owned by the Good Samaritan Hospital?
Thank you,

(BTW, I have been able to come help with the Christmas program at Rebound the past two years, along with other members from my church, Good Shepherd Presbyterian. It’s been a special and blessed experience!)
No, it is not. The Bank of America Stadium is located on the Good Samaritan Hospital property. The property was then turned into a nursing home and finally to the stadium.
