ABOUT SHEPHERD’S SHELTER ROSS REHAB
Shepherd’s Shelter Ross Rehab is a faith-based nonprofit that provides long-term Christian residential and outpatient care and sober-living facilities for adult men and women struggling with substance abuse. It was founded by a pastor who was formerly a homeless alcoholic and drug user.
The center accepts many court-ordered clients.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The program duration is six to 18 months, during which residents are required to be drug-tested every other day.
Treatment at Shepherd’s Shelter Ross Rehab is based on the 12-Steps, specifically the Recovery Dynamics curriculum. This course, developed by the Kelly Foundation, guides individuals through the 12-Steps. The program also includes individual and group counseling two to three times a week, as well as relapse prevention, life skills, and socialization training to adapt to the group dynamic. The program emphasizes treating the whole person.
The program also provides training in identifying and altering criminal thinking due to the center’s acceptance of court-ordered clients.
Additionally, Shepherd’s Shelter Ross Rehab offers an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that serves as either entry level or step-down care. Transitional living arrangements are available upon completion of the program.
