The ultimate goal of The Gifted Healing Center is to provide a welcoming environment for African-Americans, as well as others, afflicted with addiction where they can escape stigmatization and find the path to recovery and health. African-American spirituality and community is the core of TGHC's approach to promoting recovery. While TGHC does not require church attendance or adherence to a specific creed, the infusion of spirituality provides the basis for our recovery process just as it does in traditional 12-step programs. TGHC offers a residential recovery program and a transitional housing program. More information about these programs can be found on our Facilities page.

 

TGHC's other programs give the agency substantial presence and credibility in Sacramento's African-American community. Specifically TGHC:

  • Through an Outreach Worker, provides intakes, referrals to health services and case management for individuals at risk for HIV infection, particularly as a result of injecting drugs.
  • Facilitates a weekly spiritual 12-step recovery group meeting.
  • In collaboration with Sacramento Cottage Housing, conducts a 12-step group at their transitional housing facility.

TGHC Staff at an UP2ME Youth Rally
TGHC also conducts alcohol, tobacco and other drug prevention services, targeting families in the Meadowview and Oak Park communities. Specifically TGHC:
  • Conducts prevention workshops and prevention activities for youth in Sacramento County.
  • Coordinates an annual event called UP2ME, a Drug and Alcohol Prevention Youth Rally. The purpose of the UP2ME rally is to inspire youth to live a drug free lifestyle and make positive choices for their future.
