Boulware Mission

Boulware Mission is a faith-based shelter that has been serving Owensboro and its surrounding counties since 1921.

Boulware is a shelter for displaced men who are trying to change their situation and start over. We understand that combating the host of problems our clients are facing is not just about providing a bed to sleep in at night. Each client is different and the definition of success is different for each person. Physical health issues, addictions, low educational achievements, family disintegration, poor coping and problem solving skills, lack of affordable housing and jobs, and lack of necessary life skills are among some of the issues that contribute to hopelessness and lowered life expectations for those we serve.


Drug & Alcohol Treatment Program

Boulware Mission's Intensive Outpatient Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Program emphasizes the whole person, not just the addiction.  We do this by addressing the spiritual, emotional, and physical effects of substance abuse.  The program includes group counseling, drug and alcohol education, relapse prevention, introduction to the 12-step program, and aftercare planning.  Treatment sessions are held twice weekly for 3 hours.
