The Providence Ministries Christian Drug and Alcohol Recovery Program for men has been redeeming lives and saving souls in the name of Jesus Christ, since 1985. The goal of our recovery program is not just sobriety, but rather the complete transformation of the recovering addict into the man God always intended for him to be.
ABOUT PROVIDENCE MINISTRIES, INC.
Wedged between the Johns Mountain Wildlife Management area and the Chattahoochee National Forest in Dalton, Ga., is Providence Ministries, Inc., a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the hungry and homeless. The nonprofit also runs gender-separate addiction recovery programs for both women and men, though the facility for men is located nearly 90 miles north in Pikeville, Tenn.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Addiction recovery treatment at Providence Ministries, Inc. is gender-separate. The 90-day “spiritual regeneration” programs offer men and women an intimate setting (the women’s program has only 10 beds) in which to address their underlying emotional issues and trauma that may be contributing to addiction.
Using both clinical practices and Christian principles, programs incorporate daily Matrix Model classes, Bible study, men’s and women’s issues, 12-step meetings, life skills training, and peer support groups. Residents also take to work therapy – performing maintenance on facility grounds, classrooms, and automobiles – as well as recreational sports and outdoor activities. A transitional living program offers men and women opportunity for practicing what they’ve learnt while seeking employment and reintegrating back into the community. Church attendance is mandatory each Wednesday and Sunday
In addition to its recovery programs for men and women, Providence Ministries, Inc. runs separate shelters for women and their children as well as for men and provides more than 500 free hot meals daily for the hungry.
