Christian Recovery Centers Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Christian Recovery Centers is a men's sober living home on Minter Tweed Road in Dublin, Georgia, in Laurens County. The faith-based, nonprofit program keeps each of its houses capped at under thirty men and builds its curriculum around The Life Recovery Bible and a twelve-step framework.

A Men's Sober House on Minter Tweed Road

This Dublin sober house is deliberately kept small: the operator's stated vision is a ceiling of thirty men per center so that staff can give each resident personalized attention instead of running a larger, more anonymous program. That cap shapes daily life more than almost any other single policy, since a smaller house means house meetings, chores and accountability fall on fewer people to carry.

Christ-Centered Programming and the Twelve Steps

Christian Recovery Centers builds its recovery work around The Life Recovery Bible, pairing biblical study with the twelve-step framework most residential recovery programs already use. Staff, including a financial director who also serves as a certified recovery coach, frame the work as ministry as much as case management, which is worth knowing before applying if a resident is looking for a secular program instead.

Growth Across Rural Georgia

The organization describes itself as growing throughout the state, adding centers while holding to the same under-thirty-men model at each one. That approach lets Christian Recovery Centers expand into smaller Georgia towns that a larger, single-campus program would skip.

Recovery Housing in Laurens County

Dublin is the seat of Laurens County and the largest city in this part of Middle Georgia, with area courts, employers and outpatient providers concentrated in and around the city. A resident at this Minter Tweed Road house draws on that base while living in a smaller, more rural setting than Georgia's metro-area recovery homes.

Our primary focus is on a man's spiritual development; however, we recognize that often there are medical or psychological problems a man must address. For this reason, although we are not a medical facility, we do provide transportation to medical or dental appointments. However, the individual student is responsible for any costs including transportation. We accept dual diagnosis students provided they are maintained on their medication and are able to function independently and harmoniously within our community. It is a part of the philosophy of the Christian Family Center that we should all work to be as self-sufficient as possible. For that reason work therapy is a part of our program of recovery. Each man is expected to work to help maintain our facility. We know that the 12 steps commonly used in secular treatment programs come directly from the Bible and it is our belief that if the original text is available, and it is, why not use it. We want the men who come to our program to break free of the bonds of addiction and no one has ever devised a treatment to accomplish that better than God. We are interdenominational and do not ask a man to accept any church's creed or dogma that would conflict with their own personal beliefs. We do require daily Bible study and chapel attendance. Our minister, along with ministers and lay persons from the community churches, lead our services. We believe that surrendering our will to God and allowing him to work in our life begins with daily worship.
