At St. Christopher’s, the focus is on providing men with a complete reset, whether they are navigating substance use or co-occurring mental health challenges. Through a 12-step foundation and therapy, the program addresses everything from trauma and anger to legal issues and life skills. By offering a full spectrum of care—from residential support to sober living—St. Christopher’s makes sure that every man 18 and older has a roadmap tailored to his specific needs.

Invest in a Recovery that Lasts

At St. Christopher’s, men finally get the breathing room they need to do it right. Instead of a quick fix, this 90-day to 8-month journey allows men to untangle their lives, process old traumas, and practice living sober. By combining deep one-on-one therapy with a focus on fitness and nutrition, the program treats the whole man. It’s a patient approach that turns a frantic search for sobriety into a steady walk toward a purposeful life.

Find Strength in a Real Home

Between comfortable living spaces and a high-end wellness center, men have the room they need to get their physical and mental strength back. Whether it’s sharing a meal or hitting the gym, these spaces are where guys relax, bond, and realize they’re in a safe spot to finally do the work.

Protect Progress Beyond the Program

At St. Christopher’s, transitioning from treatment to real life is a bridge, not a cliff. By moving into sober living and joining a massive alumni network, men can keep that essential brotherhood in his corner while he starts reclaiming his independence. Even if he doesn’t participate in sober living, knowing that a support system is just a text or phone call away gives a man the confidence to step back into life.

MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT

Supportive Medication for Recovery

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT

Methadone

(Dolophine®, Methadose®)
Reduces opioid cravings
Available

Naltrexone

(Vivitrol®, Revia®)
Blocks opioid effects
Available

Buprenorphine

(Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade®, Zubsolv®)
Eases opioid withdrawal

Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.

Forge Bonds with Men Who Get It
Forge Bonds with Men Who Get It
Many men feel they have to keep up an act, especially when things are falling apart. At St. Christopher’s, that pressure disappears because every guy in the room is fighting the same battle. By trading isolation for real accountability, men build the kind of honest friendships that stick.
Master the Compulsions that Stall Life
Master the Compulsions that Stall Life
For many men, gambling, gaming, or sex addiction create a cycle of "failure to launch" that keeps life on hold. At St. Christopher’s, these behaviors are treated with the same urgency as substance use, digging deep into the emotional roots and family dynamics that keep the cycle spinning. By addressing the whole person, this model restores a man’s confidence and independence.
Reclaim the Trust of Loved Ones
Reclaim the Trust of Loved Ones
Through a dedicated family program, men and their loved ones gain the specific tools needed to rebuild fractured trust. By offering education, support groups, and therapy sessions, the client’s family is healing alongside him. This dual approach transforms the home from a place of tension into a place of support.
Discover Proof of Permanent Change
Discover Proof of Permanent Change
In the late 1980s, founder Dwayne Beason’s six-month stay at a halfway house reshaped his future. The true impact hit home at a wedding in 1997, when he realized nine fellow residents from a decade prior were all still sober and thriving. This proof of lasting transformation makes sure the support found here doesn’t just have to be a temporary fix.
