What is His Mansion?
His Mansion is a Christ-centered residential recovery program in Deering, New Hampshire, for men and women facing addiction and other life-controlling issues, run by the ministry of the same name at His Mansion. Its defining features are a one-year average length of stay, a rolling intake that brings new residents in each month, and a donor-funded model: the page states that a year's stay typically costs less than $1,000, plus a required sponsor who provides $50 per month for personal expenses.
The year is structured in two six-month stages. The first, "Restoration," focuses on identifying the roots of addiction, recognizing triggers, building emotional resilience, learning "thought challenging," and setting attainable goals. The second, "Growth," shifts toward purpose and new life: formational prayer, serving and stewarding the people and places around them, and planning for future work, housing, and community. Residents also receive weekly one-on-one counseling and recovery-focused education.
The site sorts its guidance by who is asking: someone struggling with addiction (program overview and how to apply), a family member (what the year looks like from the outside, visiting, and what a sponsor does), and a pastor, mentor, or counselor helping someone apply. Contact is by phone at (603) 464-5555 or text at (603) 265-1820.
Is it the right fit?
It suits someone who wants a long, structured, faith-based residential setting rather than a short detox or outpatient track, and who is willing to commit roughly a year. The low stated cost removes a common barrier, but the trade-offs are real: a full year away from work and home, a Christian framework throughout, and dependence on having a sponsor lined up.
As a next step, decide which of the three audiences describes you, then read that section of the site before calling. A family member, for example, should look at the visiting and sponsor information first, since those shape how the year works from the outside.
How much does the year-long recovery program cost, and what does the sponsor's $50 monthly contribution cover?
His Mansion says a full year in its residential recovery program typically costs less than $1,000, and each resident must have a sponsor who provides $50 per month for personal expenses. In other words, the sponsor's contribution is not the program fee itself; it is the resident's own spending money across the year (about $600 total), while the program is donor-funded rather than paid for by residents' fees.
What this means in practice
- Budget for the resident: plan on under $1,000 for the program year plus the $50 monthly personal allowance, which the sponsor supplies.
- The sponsor's role: a consistent $50 per month for the year, arranged before arrival.
- Why costs stay low: His Mansion states it is donor-funded and does not generate revenue through its programs, so the fee reflects only a fraction of the actual cost of a year's stay.
A concrete scenario
A family member or church contact agrees to act as sponsor for a resident entering in the spring. They set up a $50 monthly payment for twelve months and treat it as the resident's personal money—for small necessities during the year—not as tuition. The program cost (under $1,000) is handled separately.
Decision criteria and next step
Before committing, confirm with His Mansion directly what the program fee covers and whether any costs sit outside it, since the published figure is described as "typical." The page directs cost questions to (603) 464-5555. If you are weighing this against other options, compare total out-of-pocket cost, program length and the sponsor requirement, since a low fee paired with a mandatory sponsor is a different commitment than a higher fee with no such requirement. For a broader view of residential recovery models, see SAMHSA.
How do I apply for the residential program, and what does the rolling intake process involve?
Apply by starting an application through His Mansion's site or by calling (603) 464-5555; the program's rolling intake means new residents arrive every month rather than in fixed cohort start dates, and the average stay is one year. The application itself is handled through the program's admissions contact rather than a public online form described on the site, so the practical first step is to call and ask what documents and references admissions needs before you fill anything out.
What rolling intake means in practice
- Start dates are continuous: because residents arrive monthly, you are not waiting for a single annual enrollment window.
- Expect a short lead time: a rolling system still needs screening and a confirmed start date, so calling early matters more than waiting for a "right" month.
- Plan for the full year: the program runs in two six-month stages — months 1–6 focus on identifying roots of addiction, triggers, emotional resilience and goal setting; months 7–12 focus on formational prayer, service, and planning for work, housing and community.
Before you apply
- Sponsor commitment: each resident needs a sponsor contributing $50 per month for personal expenses.
- Cost picture: the program is donor funded and a year's stay typically costs less than $1,000 — confirm current figures directly with admissions.
- Who it's for: men and women facing addiction and life-controlling issues; the site also has a separate path for family members and for pastors or counselors referring someone.
A concrete scenario
If you are a pastor helping a congregant, call admissions first, ask which stage of the process the person is in, and line up a sponsor early — the sponsor requirement is the item most likely to delay a start date. For families, ask what visiting looks like during the year before the resident arrives.
For comparison, other residential programs in the region include Teen Challenge and Bethel Colony, though structures and costs differ; use His Mansion's own admissions line as the deciding source on timing.
What happens during the first six months of restoration versus the second six months of growth?
The first six months focus on breaking addiction's grip: identifying the roots of addiction, becoming alert to triggers, building emotional resilience, learning "thought challenging," developing whole-person coping skills, and setting attainable goals. The second six months shift toward purpose and new life: 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.
How the two stages differ
| Stage 1: Restoration (months 1–6) | Stage 2: Growth (months 7–12) | |
|---|---|---|
| Core aim | Freedom from bondage, brokenness and self-destruction | Freedom for purpose, meaning and new life |
| Main work | Roots of addiction, triggers, emotional resilience, thought challenging, coping skills, attainable goals | Formational prayer, service and stewardship, practical plans for work, housing and community |
| Direction | Inward: understanding and stabilizing oneself | Outward: living well with others and preparing for what comes next |
Throughout the year, residents also receive weekly one-on-one formational counseling that builds self-awareness, works through relationships, and builds personal agency through goal setting, alongside recovery-focused education.
A useful way to read the split: the first half is diagnostic and stabilizing, the second half is purposeful and forward-looking. Someone weighing the program should ask whether they need the first kind of work before the second can take hold — most people do, which is why the order matters. For a family member, the practical marker of progress is the shift from "learning to manage myself" to "making concrete plans and serving others."
To see how the year is structured and how to apply, start with His Mansion.
What can family members and loved ones expect, including visiting and how they can support a resident?
Family members can expect a structured, faith-based year at His Mansion with limited day-to-day contact, regular visiting opportunities, and a clear support role: prayer, letters, and financial sponsorship. According to His Mansion, the program runs about a year in two six-month stages—Restoration (months 1–6: identifying roots of addiction, recognizing triggers, building emotional resilience) and Growth (months 7–12: formational prayer, service, and planning for future work, housing, and community). New residents arrive monthly through rolling intake.
What the year looks like from the outside
The program has a dedicated page for loved ones describing "what the year looks like from the outside, when you can visit, and what a sponsor does." Expect the early months to focus on stabilization and inner work, with contact likely more restricted; later months emphasize service and future planning, which is when family involvement often becomes more practical—discussing housing, work, and a sober support network for after graduation.
Visiting
Visiting is organized around set opportunities rather than drop-in visits. The site's family page is the authoritative source for current dates, so check it before planning travel to Deering, New Hampshire, and confirm details by phone at (603) 464-5555 or text (603) 265-1820.
How to support a resident
- Sponsor: Each resident must have a sponsor who provides $50 per month for personal expenses. This is the most concrete commitment the program asks of a supporter.
- Costs: His Mansion is donor-funded; a year's stay typically costs less than $1,000, with the sponsor covering personal expenses.
- Encouragement: Letters and prayer fit the Christ-centered model; the family page explains the sponsor role in more detail.
- Planning partner: In the Growth stage, help think through work, housing, and a healthy community for the return home.
Practical decision criteria
Ask three questions before committing: Can you sustain $50 monthly for a year? Can you travel to New Hampshire for scheduled visits? And are you prepared for a program that integrates Christian teaching into counseling and daily life? If the answer to the last is no, a secular residential program may fit better. Families seeking comparison points can look at SAMHSA for treatment options and Celebrate Recovery for local church-based support groups.
How can a pastor, mentor, or counselor help someone apply, and who is the program designed for?
A pastor, mentor, or counselor helps most by matching the person to the program's actual scope, preparing the application with them, and organizing the practical support the year requires. His Mansion describes itself as a Christ-centered residential recovery program for men and women facing addiction and life-controlling issues, with an average stay of one year split into two six-month stages. The site's own "Where to start" section addresses pastors, mentors, and counselors directly, pointing them to how to help someone apply and who the program is for.
Who it is designed for
- Adults struggling with addiction or other life-controlling issues who are willing to commit to a residential year.
- People open to a explicitly Christian framework: the program's stated aim is restoration "through the hope of Jesus Christ," and the second stage includes formational prayer and service to others.
- Applicants who can arrange a Sponsor contributing $50 per month for personal expenses, since the site lists this as a requirement.
The site does not spell out clinical exclusion criteria, so a counselor should confirm fit by phone before investing time in an application. It is not a short detox or a outpatient add-on; the structure assumes a year away from home.
How a pastor, mentor, or counselor can help
- Clarify motivation and readiness. Talk through whether the person wants recovery itself, not just relief from pressure. A year-long residential commitment is a poor fit for someone seeking a quick fix.
- Gather the practical pieces early. Housing, work, family obligations, and the sponsor commitment all need sorting before arrival. The site notes rolling intake, with new residents arriving every month, so timing can be planned rather than rushed.
- Contact the program together. The site lists a phone line, (603) 464-5555, and a text line, (603) 265-1820, plus an online application. A mentor can sit in on that first call to ask about costs, visits, and what applicants should bring.
- Line up the sponsor. Identify a church member or family friend willing to give $50 monthly and stay in contact with the resident.
- Prepare the family or congregation. The site has a separate path for loved ones covering what the year looks like from the outside, when visits are possible, and what a sponsor does. Share it so expectations are realistic.
- Plan for reentry. Stage 2 already asks residents to plan future lifestyle, work, housing, and community. A sending pastor can make that plan concrete by arranging a room, a job lead, or a small accountability group before graduation.
A concrete scenario
A counselor meets a 29-year-old man whose substance use has cost him his job and housing. Rather than only referring him onward, the counselor can walk him through the application, call the program to confirm eligibility and cost, help him name a sponsor from his home church, and brief his parents using the loved-ones material. That preparation often matters more than the referral itself.
Trade-offs to weigh
The cost is unusually low for residential care—the site says a year typically costs less than $1,000, funded by donors—but the trade-off is a long absence from work and family and a distinctly religious environment that will not suit everyone. For comparison, SAMHSA offers a national treatment locator for secular and medical options, and Celebrate Recovery runs church-based groups that can complement or follow residential care. If the person is not ready for a year away, a local counselor or outpatient program may be the better first step; if they are, start with the phone call and the sponsor conversation this week.
