Shepherd’s House is a long term, residential/transitional housing center for individuals who are alcohol and chemically addicted men, 18 years or older. The facility is centrally located on the northeast side of Fort Wayne. Participants are asked to make a personal commitment to the recovery program. The program offers education and therapy regarding alcoholism and/or chemical dependency and recovery. Participants attend regular recovery meetings and have access to spiritual counselors and caring staff who assist them with the creation of an effective support system. The structured approach is designed to help the individual develop a solid foundation of sobriety. They are held accountable to the rehabilitation community for behavior as well as for the completion of daily work assignments. Dignity and a healthy self-image are viewed as basic to recovery.
The program recognizes and satisfies an individual’s early realistic dependency needs while striving to assure that, as treatment progresses and personal coping mechanisms become more adaptive and functional, there is less need for the rigid structure support and reliance or external resources. Participants increasingly learn to take responsibility for their own behavior and build a solid foundation of sobriety. Recovery is a long process that requires a strong support environment, which is exactly what Shepherd’s House provides. This facility is comprised of highly motivated, experienced staff, many of whom are themselves in recovery.
Shepherd’s House believes that the bondage of addiction, whether alcoholism, chemical dependence, gambling or other dependence, can and will be broken by the POWER of Jesus Christ.
Experience has shown us that, of those who successfully complete the program, bond with the twelve step communities, develop a strong spiritual foundation, and stay clean and sober for the first year, three out of four will have lasting sobriety.
The mission of Shepherd's House is to rebuild the lives of those who society views as hopeless into sober and productive assets to the community.
Our vision is to return Veterans self-sufficient, employed, and empowered with a sober vision of hope for the future.
