How We Serve
Adult Rehabilitation Centers
The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Centers have served as beacons of hope to people seeking help for any number of social and life issues, including problems related to substance abuse. Our programs focus on the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the people who choose to participate.
The Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Centers are 180-day residential work-therapy programs providing spiritual, social, and emotional assistance to people who have lost the ability to cope with their problems and provide for themselves.
The program is generally provided without charge to the participants once the Center staff has determined that the program can appropriately address the needs of the applicant (insurance is not necessary). Other minimum requirements include the following:
- Are adults ages 21-65.
- Pass a drug test and breathalyzer upon arrival.
- Able to perform a work therapy assignment for a maximum of eight hours a day. Schedules can be adjusted to meet the needs of the participants.
- Agree to participate in all program activities, including attending counseling sessions, classes and worship services.
*Requirements may vary based on location.

Substance Abuse is a National Crisis
The national substance abuse crisis was only been exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. A recent survey found that in 2021, 46.3 million people aged 12 or older (or 16.5%) had a substance use disorder (SUD) in the past year, including 29.5 million who had an alcohol use disorder, 24.0 million who had a drug use disorder, and 7.3 million people who had both an alcohol use disorder and a drug use disorder. The Salvation Army is committed at its Adult Rehabilitation Centers to restoring the lives and relationships of people who are dealing with social and spiritual problems, including substance abuse problems.
Overcome Social and Spiritual Problems, Including Substance Abuse
Through group and individual counseling sessions, spiritual direction, holistic work therapy, and life-skills development, program participants learn to overcome problems, including abandoning substance reliance.
Regain Health and Stability
By developing a personal relationship with God as provided by Jesus Christ, many participants learn to depend on God for hope and relief.
Restore Families
Many who have been rehabilitated are reunited with their families and able to resume healthy daily routines. Children get their parents back. People get their lives back.
Build Work and Social Skills
The physical and spiritual components of the program equip participants with the tools to provide for themselves and others as they set and maintain sustainable employment goals.
