These services are not limited to those directly dealing with these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holly Beatty co-leads the center&#8217;s 12-step life recovery support group with her husband, Robert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;re here to love people with the love of Jesus and help people obtain hope and freedom from anything that they&#8217;re struggling with in life,&#8221; Holly Beatty said. &#8220;That includes anyone who has someone they love in their lives that is trapped in addiction and who needs support. We want Christmas brunch in December and a sober celebration in January for anyone in recovery or struggling with family issues this holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Jan. 26 to 30, the center will also provide a free training outreach program, the Recovery Coach Academy, for those desiring education on how to best reach family members and friends with a life-controlling issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Resource Center obtained its funding from a federal grant following several lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies for their non-transparency on the addictive nature of OxyContin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of funding in setting up a center for several years, but Hilyer and her team were more than willing to take on the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;There aren&#8217;t many resources for recovery in this part of the county,&#8221; Hilyer stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, this center is different than most as its values and structure are entirely centered on Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many centers try to address the superficial or visible issues that follow addictions, but this center understands there are many more underlying problems and root of wrong thought patterns already present in their lives, that need to be addressed first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transformation Church opened its Recovery Resource Center in Grove City on Nov. 6 to meet the needs of anyone with a life-controlling problem, whether that be drug addiction or poor mental health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[40,14,80],"class_list":["post-1162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-borough","tag-issue-2025-12-05","tag-front-page","tag-julia-kramer"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Ian Schartner","author_link":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/author\/schartnerij23\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Transformation Church opened its Recovery Resource Center in Grove City on Nov. 6 to meet the needs of anyone with a life-controlling problem, whether that be drug addiction or poor mental health.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1162"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1857,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1162\/revisions\/1857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuorgs2.gcc.edu\/thecollegian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
