Mission:
Providing compassionate, personalized, recovery-based addiction treatment and community reentry. Vision:
Be a beacon for the community and church, locally, nationally, and internationally, in addiction treatment, mental health and medical services, education, and spiritual growth. AGENCY CULTURE
The NLCS culture, built on a traditional Christian world view, is a welcoming community serving all faiths and creeds. The prime task of the current NLCS staff is to show up each day with a commitment to serve both our mission statement and the overall betterment of NLCS. The staff is additionally called to model Christian love towards each other as well as the clients. This calling goes beyond mere sobriety and speaks to recovery and healthy, ethical relationships. Such relationships imply patience, tolerance, respectful disagreement, as well as references to others in loving, positive ways. Proprietary concerns and conflicts should be held in confidence. Pathological triangulation should always be avoided and conflicts should be addressed directly with the offending party (per NLCS grievance policy). In summation our goal is to function beyond simple sobriety as a collective example of Christian values for our clients, donors, and the wider Santa Cruz community. PHYSICAL DEMANDS
