TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Faith Farm is a faith-based recovery program centered on Christian teachings. According to the facility’s website, the goal is to “minister to hurting people by helping them rebuild their lives in accordance with the Word of God.” Attendance to daily chapel services and weekly church services is mandatory.
Participants are expected to stay with Faith Farm for a minimum of nine months, during which time they undergo counseling, life skills training, mandatory work training, addiction education, and GED test preparation if applicable.
According to the facility’s website, daily classes include teachings on “causes of addiction, setting healthy boundaries, respect for authority, anger management and personal integrity.” Clients will also participate in the Comprehensive Work Training (CWT) program to learn trade skills and help fund the cost of the facility.
Clients who complete the recovery curriculum can choose to take a test, which, if passed, grants up to nine college credits from South Florida Bible College and Theological Seminary (SFBC).
