Residential Program

Residential Program

The residential treatment program at New Destiny has one of the highest retention rates in the country. People stick with our program because they know it works. In fact, we have helped hundreds of men, just like you, overcome their addiction and go on to lead happy, productive lives. Our residential treatment plan consists of counseling, education, physical exercise, spiritual guidance and the healing power of Christ. Our goal is not only to help you recover from your addiction, but to prepare you fully for your next chapter. 

Currently, our Residential Program is only available for men.
