The Shoulder Spanish Fort

Addiction Treatment for Men

The Shoulder is a non-profit Christian center in Spanish Fort, Alabama, that helps men recover from drug and alcohol addiction. They offer a low-intensity residential program and an outpatient program with a focus on spiritual growth, 12-step recovery, and individualized care while clients continue working. After these programs, men can move into transitional living care for similar, continued support and community reintegration. They have special programming for veterans.

Therapy That Builds Lasting Change

The Shoulder uses evidence-based treatments like individual and group counseling to help men overcome substance use. They also offer horse therapy through a partnership with Equine Therapy Group, adding a hands-on, holistic element that supports emotional healing and personal growth.

Structured, Affordable Care

The center uses a sliding scale for fees based on their income and bills. Clients don’t need to have funds coming into the program; they can pay when they get a job and begin receiving paychecks. The Shoulder’s assessment fee is $75, but they also accept outside assessments.

While in the transitional living program, men must get and keep full-time jobs, helping them build responsibility and life skills. The ability for clients to hold jobs during the program and the sliding fee scale aim to make treatment accessible and help clients adapt to long-term recovery.
