Devotions
Every day starts with God. Residents gather for prayer, worship, and Scripture before anything else. Faith is the foundation everything else is built on.
The work on the ground
A way forward for the whole family.
A year of recovery for residents. Continued education for their children. Practical skills, faith, and community that last beyond treatment.
Our program
Every day has a purpose.
Recovery doesn’t happen in one moment. It happens one day at a time, in a rhythm that rebuilds a life from the inside out.
Built on the Adult & Teen Challenge model, residents spend a full year at the center. Each day follows the same steady pattern.
Classes
Bible-based discipleship classes help residents understand where addiction came from, who God says they are, and how to live differently.
Recovery therapy
Residents follow the Adult & Teen Challenge curriculum. Journey to Freedom groups and the 12 Steps give residents honest conversation, accountability, and practical tools for staying free. Here, recovery happens in community, not alone.
Work therapy
Afternoons are spent in the gardens and caring for the chickens. Hard work restores dignity and discipline, and it’s purpose they can see. The harvest feeds the center and brings in income at the local market.
Why a full year?
Thirty days can break a habit. A year builds a new life. Time lets residents practice a new way of living until it becomes who they are, before they return home to their families and village.
Not just the resident. The whole family.
While parents are in treatment, their children keep learning at the ministry school. When a resident graduates, the whole family moves forward together.
Recovery. Education. Restoration.
Recovery built for the Highlands.
