Total recovery is a wheel whose hub is a personal relationship with God through Christ which produces sobriety. Many patients come directly from inpatient care while others come directly from home. To participate in our program persons must be willing to begin a new recovery lifestyle and maintain abstinence from all mood altering chemicals.

Our program requires abstinence of drug and alcohol use and a parallel termination of all non-drug compulsive behaviors
