Mission Statement & History

TO ELIMINATE THE DARKNESS OF POVERTY AND ADDICTION IN INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES

City of Lights Dream Center located in Dora, Alabama, is a faith-based recovery program that works to effectively treat men and women eighteen years of age or older who suffer from chronic substance abuse. 

City of Lights has found that addiction does not discriminate among race, background, social status, or religious affiliation; therefore, the women who enter treatment come from all lifestyles, all facets of society, and all corners of the globe. In fact, statistics confirm that nearly every household has experienced the devastation of having someone they know or someone in the family clenched by the stronghold of addiction. 

BREAK THE CYCLE OF ADDICTION! 

City of Lights believes addictions are fully reversible! The City of Lights’ biblically-based recovery model works by serving a dual purpose. The first is to facilitate an environment in which clients can grow spiritually and learn biblical principles that they can apply to their daily lives. The second purpose is to teach clients practical methods that support their sobriety and encourage healthy alternatives that are contrary to old habits and behaviors. 

The goal of City of Lights is to see women’s broken lives restored and true change take place. We aim to send clients back into their communities prepared to live sober lives of integrity and purpose with the expectation of leading others in a positive direction.
