About Return to Life Mission

Our Story

Picture
Return to Life recovery center was founded in November of 2011 by Alieksandr Dunchyk. The recovery center was organized based on the model used by Christian  Rehabilitation Center in Belarus, where Alieksandr Dunchyk had ministered for five years prior to immigrating to United States. December 22, 2012 was an official opening of the new location in North Port, which can hold up to twelve students.
​​The lives have been transformed at the Return to Life Recovery Center by the power of God that is stronger than the bonds of addiction.

Our Vision 

The mission of Return to Life Recovery Center is to help young and adults recover from life-controlling substances and assist them in returning to a purposeful life through the use of faith-based Biblical principles. How does one find a purposeful life? Jesus’s statement is more than convincing when he says: “I am the way, the truth and the life.'' (John 14:6) Therefore, the purpose of our ministry is to point the students to the true path that leads to life. We are true witnesses of the fact that many of lives have been transformed through this ministry by the power of God.

Return to Life is a Christian non-profit organization that is dedicated to serving our communities and focuses its ministry around helping young and adults conquer life-controlling problems. We do this through classes, individual study, personal mentoring, work ethics training, and involvement in the community. 

​Our program has been designed for men ages 18 and older. It is a completely voluntary program which runs from twelve to eighteen months, depending on the specific needs of the individual and focuses on prevention, education, spiritual growth, and helping students adapt to living a drug/alcohol free life. RTL offers program free of charge, except payment of $300 for housing costs per month. 

The student’s typical schedule consists of:
  • Worship & Prayers  
  • Bible Reading
  • Meal Times
  • Church Services
  • Recreational Activities
  • Work Projects
  • Devotions
  • Bible Studies
  • Community Service
​The program of the recovery center Return to Life includes the workshop where students are making decorative scrolls that are provided as thank you gifts for donations.
​The recovery program consists of three main phases: Orientation, Rehabilitation and Adaptation. During the twelve month at the residential recovery center the students are busy adapting to their new lifestyle, free of life-controlling habits and bad decision making. They begin to focus on serving God and helping the people around them. 

​Return to Life is funded through individual donations from the general public as well as church donation and fundraising events.
