Philosophy

  • We embrace the teachings of Jesus Christ and believe that true transformation occurs when individuals develop a personal relationship with Him. Our programs integrate Christian values, biblical teachings, and prayer into every facet of recovery, providing a spiritual foundation for healing and restoration.

  • We recognize that each person's journey to recovery is unique. We tailor our programs to meet the specific needs of each individual, offering a personalized approach that prioritizes their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Our comprehensive recovery plans encompass counseling, addiction education, life skills training, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and relapse prevention strategies.

  • We foster an environment of acceptance, understanding, and accountability, where individuals can connect with others who have faced similar challenges. Our facility serves as a tight-knit community that provides encouragement, peer support, and mentorship. Through shared experiences and fellowship, men can draw strength and resilience from one another as they navigate the path to recovery.

  • Our dedicated team work collaboratively to guide individuals through their recovery journey. Emphasizing addiction treatment and spiritual counseling, we offer compassionate guidance, mental health support, and skill-building resources to facilitate long-term recovery and personal growth.

  • We focus not only on overcoming addiction but also on equipping individuals with the necessary life skills to thrive in their personal and professional lives. We provide vocational training, educational opportunities, and assistance in securing stable housing and employment, enabling program graduates to reintegrate into society as contributing members and positive role models.

  • We actively engage with the broader community to raise awareness about addiction, promote prevention strategies, and offer support to individuals and families affected by addictive behaviors. By embodying these principles, Charity House endeavors to create a sanctuary where houseguests can experience God's grace, find purpose and fulfillment, and embark on a lifelong journey of sobriety, spiritual growth, and positive life choices. Together, we believe in the power of transformation, offering hope to those in despair and helping them discover a life marked by freedom, redemption, and enduring faith.

House Rules

Charity House is a path to recovery. The intention of the program is to take men out of the world that has caused them so much distress and introduce them to a path of recovery - mentally, physically, socially, financially, and spiritually.

To accomplish this, participants will be required to live on campus and focus on educational, discipleship, and assimilation programing. It is important that the men in the program abide by the structured regiment designed to occupy their minds, feed their spirit, and change the trajectory of their life.

The Proof

The hope of a transformed life. That is what Charity House offers. When a man is set free, he is not only able to better his life, but he's now enabled to help others who were in the same prison. Click on Travis’ photo to see his video testimony!
