ABOUT SECOND CHANCE RECOVERY INC.
Second Chance Recovery is a nonprofit organization that provides Christ-centered recovery homes, which serve as transitional-living environments. The organization is headquartered in Murdock, south Florida, located 20 miles inland from the Gulf Coast.
Detoxification services are not available at Second Chance. Individuals seeking residency must already be sober, making the facility more suitable for step-down care rather than entry into sobriety.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Upon arrival, all residents must either have employment or secure employment within two weeks.
The program is based on the 12-Steps and requires residents to work with a sponsor. Attendance of at least three 12-step meetings per week and one weekly Celebrate Recovery meeting is mandatory for all clients. In addition, residents must comply with frequent drug testing.
