Addiction is the cause of many problems faced by families and businesses across the nation. Most serious crimes are committed by individuals under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. South Carolina and the “Bible Belt” are not exempt from this life shattering plague on humanity.
There are many secular programs operated by dedicated people that provide treatment and recovery programs for those seeking relief from addiction. Many addicts go from one treatment program to another without ever becoming truly free. Some addicts are prescribed legal drugs to substitute for illegal substances.
Wisdom In Living Life Ministry, Inc., founded in 2000 by Winn Freeman, is a unique ministry that lives up to its name. The ministry utilizes a tried, tested and proven training program that uses biblical principles to transform addicts into well-adjusted, productive citizens for whom drug and alcohol abuse are no longer an acceptable option. Wisdom in Living Life Ministry has a success record that exceeds other programs designed for helping addicts. Working with homeless and indigent individuals over a 10-year period at the Miracle Hill Rescue Mission in Greenville, South Carolina, the program known as “Overcomers” experienced a sustained success rate of over 70 percent after one year post program follow up.
