Together we’re working to break the intergenerational cycle of addiction in families by educating, equipping, empowering, and celebrating individuals, families, faith leaders, and communities on the journey from addiction to recovery and beyond.
Our Mission
SpiritWorks Foundation Center for the Soul is a Recovery Community Organization (RCO) with recovery centers in Warrenton & Williamsburg, VA. Founded in 2005, we are pioneers in a growing field of peer led addiction recovery and wellness organizations. SpiritWorks Foundation is comprised of, and led primarily by, people who live in recovery from addiction. We deliver peer to peer programs and services for children, youth, and adults living in recovery from the disease of addiction. Our programs and services build resilience in children, inspire youth to live drug free, and support, educate and empower adults who live in recovery.
Your donation to SpiritWorks will leverage significant outcomes. We can positively affect the lives of individuals, their children, parents and grandparents who are all touched by alcoholism and addiction.
Since opening its doors in 2005, SpiritWorks Foundation has more than a decade of community outreach.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans have friends or family members who have struggled with alcohol or other drug addiction. SpiritWorks is here to help each step of the way.
SpirtWorks Foundation operates Recovery Community Centers in Williamsburg and Warrenton, peer-operated centers that provide community-based recovery support. Individuals and families do not live at the centers, but rather can access resources to help build recovery capital through advocacy training, recovery information and resource mobilization, mutual-help or peer-support organization meetings (e.g. 12-step groups, Celebrate Recovery), social activities, and other community-based services. We believe recovery to be a self-defined process with many possible pathways to achieving the improved quality of life and well-being that comes with recovery. We’re dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate those pathways and overcome obstacles they encounter on their journey to recovery.
Through positive self-care, individuals can discover purpose and meaning, take into account their unique life story and major life themes, tasks, and lessons thereby allowing the individual to continue in personal transformation, to increase recovery capital, to gain a more conscious understanding of life, and to develop a sense of harmony and balance.
The Center for Spiritual Recovery is for those who want God to be part of their recovery. The Center offers retreats as well as individual and group guidance and direction for those seeking to deepen their commitment to spiritual renewal and spiritual recovery.
Recreational programs offer various activities whose main focus is to provide an outlet for those in recovery. Most of these activities will teach participants useful skills that can be used in their recovery journey.
The Family Programs are focused on helping parents and family members who are dealing with addiction in the home. Whether it’s a parent, sibling, partner or child, these various programs offer support and education for a families affected by substance misuse.
Youth Programs offer a variety of activities geared towards adolescents who are affected by substance misuse. Whether growing up in families with, or at risk for, alcoholism or other drug addictions, or facing addiction themselves, the youth program provides a safe, nurturing and supportive environment, where adolescents can develop resilience against addiction.
This is a monthly support group which provides education and training for community leaders who are supporting individuals with addiction and mental illness. We provide Motivational Interview training, Stages of Change training, and more. See calendar for details.
Recovery Coaching fills a great need for people in the recovery process. Recovery Coaching affirms the innate health and wellness in each of its clients. Recovery coaches use a strength-based approach so that clients find and utilize their strengths while being coached to success. Recovery Coaching addresses the specific life needs of people with substance use disorder and other addictive behaviors.
