Residency Program
Employment Assistance
Help with restoring your driver's license and applying for jobs, empowering you to regain your independence.
Chapter 01
Work and a license are how independence comes back
Employment is one of the seven key areas of recovery Still Worthy works on, right alongside abstinence, health and fitness, legal support, family and social relationships, emotional and psychological well-being, and spiritual growth. That list is not an accident. A day with somewhere to be and something to do is one of the strongest structures a person in early recovery can have.
Work is also about dignity. Being able to pay your own way, answer the question “what do you do?” without flinching, and stop depending on other people for every ride and every dollar changes how a person sees themselves.
For a family watching from the outside, this is often the moment hope returns: not a speech, but a shift schedule and a person who gets up for it.

Restoring your license and applying for jobs
Still Worthy describes this service as help with restoring your driver's license and applying for jobs, empowering you to regain your independence. Those two things go together more often than people realize. Without a license, a job can be out of reach, and without a job, the fees and steps to get a license back can feel out of reach.
In practice, that kind of help looks like sitting down with someone who knows the steps, working out what needs to be done and in what order, and getting applications in with a clear head and a real address to put on them. Recovery housing gives you a stable place to start from, which is something many people have not had in a long time.
The house does not promise any particular job, and it does not pretend every road is short. What it offers is a team in your corner while you do the work of building something steady.
Chapter 03
Purpose is bigger than getting back what you lost
Purpose is one of Still Worthy's three pillars, and the house states it this way: “We are not focused on helping our fellow addicts and alcoholics regain what they lost in active addiction, but rather gain something greater than they have known.”
That changes what a job means. It is not just a way to return to the life you had before. It is a piece of a purpose-driven life, one lived in service to others, in line with the faith the house is built on.
