The center offers residential substance use recovery for men. Located in Worcester's Piedmont neighborhood, the program combines biblically centered recovery with clinical counseling, life coaching and vocational training.

Long-Term Residential Programming

Men typically begin with an intake and assessment before entering the residential program, which runs approximately 10 to 12 months with possible 3 to 6 month extensions.

This extended timeframe is designed to support lasting change from alcohol, opioid and other substance use challenges.

It also provides the time for guests to focus on their recovery journey without outside distractions hinder the treatment process.
