We offer a safe place to celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through a Christ-centered ever evolving Twelve Step Program. 

Addiction Recovery Ministry in Missoula, MT offers a Christ-centered addiction recovery program for those seeking freedom from alcohol and drugs. Their program follows a Biblical Twelve Step approach in a safe, alcohol and drug free environment. Our addiction recovery meetings are held Monday nights at Revive Church.

A place to go where our recovery is Revived & our Ministry becomes Limitless!

By working the Christ-centered steps and applying their biblical principles found in the Bible, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. This prepares us to carry the message to others. As a result, we minister to others whenever possible.

Welcome to an Amazing Opportunity for Change!

The ARM will:

  • Provide you a safe place to share your experiences, strengths, and hopes with others who are going through a Christ-centered recovery.

  • Provide you with a leader who has gone through a similar hurt, hang-up, or habit, which will facilitate the group as it focuses on a particular scripture each week.  The leader will also keep to The ARM’s Group Guidelines.

  • Encourage you to attend other recovery meetings held throughout the week.

Key Verse:  Psalm 40:1-3

The ARM will NOT:

  • Attempt to offer any professional Clinical advice.  Our leaders are not counselors.

  • Allow its members to attempt to fix one another.

Twelve Steps and Their Biblical Comparisons

1. We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, that our lives had become unmanageable.

I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. (Romans 7:18)

2. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. (Philippians 2:13)

3. We made a decision to turn our lives and our wills over to the care of God.

 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. (Romans 12:1)

4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. (Lamentations 3:40)

5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. (James 5:16)

6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up. (James 4:10)

7. We humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings. 

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.

Do to others as you would have them do to you. (Luke 6:31)

9. We made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you; leave your gift there in front of the altar.  First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. (Matthew 5:23-24)

10. We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! (1Corinthians 10:12)

11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and power to carry that out.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. (Colossians 3:16)

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently.  But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. (Galatians 6:1)
