growth. Guest House's programs have expanded from its original concentration on alcoholism and other chemical addictions (such as to prescription drugs), to include evaluation of and treatment for substance use disorders, process addictions, compulsive overeating and co-occurring mental, physical or medical disorders. Individually-designed treatment programs address all aspects of healing to support quality recovery and overall health and wellness. Through holistic programs based on the spirituality of twelve-step recovery, Guest House restores relationships with God and returns clients to ministry "12-step" programs. Continuing care Following primary residential care, clients are also enrolled in "continuing care," a three to five year program centered on three week-long return visits by the client to Guest House. In continuing care there is additional counseling, education, fellowship and time for more spiritual renewal. Funding Most of Guest House's annual operating budget comes from generous private benefactors through financial contributions from around the world or from special event fundraisers and annual mailings. Donors can provide outright gifts of cash and stock, remember Guest House in their wills, or establish annuities or trusts for "planned" gifts. Guest House also has a memorial gift program as well as a program for arranging Mass for donors' special intentions. Guest House is committed to offering treatment to priests, deacons, brothers, sisters and seminarians who are in need of services regardless of ability to pay. Many clients come with little or no means to pay. Annually, Guest House provides over $1 million in uncompensated care.
