Wings of Life

What Wings of Life does

Wings of Life is a nonprofit, Christ-centered addiction recovery organization headquartered at 3401 Newman Road, Mobile, Alabama, with a secondary event presence in Daphne, Alabama. It operates a 90-day residential substance abuse recovery program delivered through gender-separated men's and women's tracks, and uniquely accommodates married couples and families with children to participate simultaneously. The program is built on biblical principles and emphasizes holistic recovery across spirit, soul, and body, integrating pastoral counseling, study, worship, work, and community components. Wings of Life is explicitly not a medical facility and does not accept insurance, positioning program fees as significantly lower than traditional treatment centers and offering scholarships for residents unable to pay.

The organization's business model blends program fees with a diversified donation and partnership engine. Revenue is generated through undisclosed 90-day program fees, one-time and recurring individual donations, and tiered Corporate/Church monthly partnerships (Bronze $250, Silver $500, Gold $1,000, Platinum above $1,000). An annual fundraising gala (A Legacy of Life) and educational content (blog posts on addiction topics) serve as the primary donor-acquisition and community-engagement channels. Extended programming, including bible school, ministry training, and transition support, is delivered through a strategic partnership with The Dove Foundation for eligible graduates. The center is a member of the American Association of Christian Recovery Ministers (AACRM) and operates with 11-50 staff. Customer segments are primarily individuals struggling with addiction and families seeking joint recovery, supplemented by church and corporate partners supporting the ministry.
