Where to Start on the His Mansion Website Based on Your Situation

Updated

His Mansion's site routes you by who you are, not by a single menu of pages. If you are struggling with addiction yourself, start with the Resident Recovery Program overview and the application. If you are a family member, start with the "what the year looks like from the outside" path, which covers visiting and the sponsor role. If you are a pastor, mentor, or counselor, start with the path on how to help someone apply and who the program is for. All three paths sit under the "Where to start" section of the homepage, and you can also call (603) 464-5555 or text (603) 265-1820 before choosing a path.

The three starting paths at a glance

You are struggling with addiction and want help Resident Recovery Program overview and how to apply Program structure, what a resident's year holds, how to begin an application

Each path is written for a different reader, so picking the one that matches you avoids reading material meant for someone else.

If you are seeking help for yourself

Start with the Resident Recovery Program overview, then move to the application. The program is a Christ-centered residential recovery program for men and women facing addiction and life-controlling issues, located in Deering, New Hampshire. The average program length is one year, and new residents arrive through a rolling intake system, with arrivals every month.

Before you apply, know what the year involves. The program runs in two six-month stages:

  • Stage 1: Restoration (months 1–6) — identifying roots of addiction, becoming alert to triggers, developing emotional resilience, learning "thought challenging," building holistic coping skills, and setting attainable goals.
  • Stage 2: Growth (months 7–12) — encountering the love of Jesus through formational prayer, serving and stewarding the people and places around them, and planning for future lifestyle, work, housing, and community.

Residents also receive weekly one-on-one formational counseling and engage with recovery-focused education curriculum. Knowing this up front helps you decide whether a year-long residential commitment fits your situation.

Cost, before you commit

His Mansion is donor funded and does not generate revenue through its programs. A year's stay in the recovery program typically costs less than $1,000. Each resident is required to have a sponsor who provides $50 per month for personal expenses. For details, the site directs you to call (603) 464-5555.

If you are a family member or friend

Use the loved-one path rather than the applicant path. It explains what the year looks like from the outside, when you can visit, and what a sponsor does — the three things family members most often need to know. The sponsor role matters practically: every resident needs a sponsor contributing $50 per month for personal expenses, so understanding that expectation early helps you decide whether you can fill it or need to help find someone who can.

If you are a pastor, mentor, or counselor

Use the professional path, which covers how to help someone apply and who the program is for. Read the eligibility guidance before encouraging an application, since the program is designed for men and women facing addiction and life-controlling issues. The two-stage structure and the one-year average length are the key facts to set expectations with anyone you refer.

Contact options

The homepage lists three ways to reach His Mansion before or alongside an application:

  • Call (603) 464-5555
  • Text (603) 265-1820
  • Start your application online

If you are unsure which path fits, a call is the fastest way to confirm — for example, if you are a family member who is also acting as a prospective sponsor, or a counselor unsure whether a particular person meets the program's scope.

Common sticking points

  • Choosing the applicant path when you are a family member. The applicant materials assume you are the one entering the program. Family questions about visiting and sponsoring are answered on the loved-one path.
  • Missing the sponsor requirement. The $50 monthly sponsor contribution is a requirement, not a suggestion, so identify a sponsor early in the process.
  • Assuming a short stay. The average length is one year, split into two six-month stages. Plan for the full year when discussing the program with anyone.
  • Waiting for a fixed intake date. Intake is rolling, with new residents arriving every month, so the application can start at any time.
