Low Cost, Affordable Program
A recently published study regarding the cost per day of 37 different drug and alcohol rehab facilities: the study has found that the average price per day is $667 for a 28-30 day stay. This daily average has risen almost 5.5% from 2010 and continues to increase annually. The average alcohol rehab cost can vary anywhere from a few hundred to thousands of dollars per day, depending on the facility type. A traditional state-level rehab semi-private bedroom such as Hazelden averages $1000 per day or $28,000 per cycle. A luxury rehab such as those popularly found in Malibu, California, can total anywhere from; $3,000-$6,000 per day and $100k per 28-day cycle. U-Turn For Christ costs $1,000 for two months. That’s $16.00 a day.
Our Bible-Based Program
Typical residential programs, including many Christian ones, often focus on daily meetings predominantly centered around the 12-step Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) model, require participants to purchase their meals, and provide very limited, if any, Bible study. That is why we refer to U-Turn For Christ as a Ministry of Restoration. We believe that the Biblical model of restoration is the only true path to deliverance from addiction and achieving a life restored to the Lord.
Our ministry empowers men and women to serve the community, helping them find restoration in their own lives. We have observed that this service not only blesses those who receive help but also shifts the mindset of the individuals seeking restoration from one of entitlement to that of a humble servant. Before long, individuals who once posed a threat to themselves, their families, and society often become a blessing to those around them.
Additionally, we also support recovery from other types of addiction, such as gambling, pornography and other besetting sinful behavior.
Nightly Church Services
Most faith-based programs will have church available to the enrollees once a week on Sunday and possibly a mid-week Bible Study. We are blessed to be taught by a different teacher during our church service every night. We have pastors from all over the region to speak and pray with the men and women who have committed themselves to allow Jesus to turn their lives around. This teaching is critical to the enrollees’ growth and development as they become men and women who turn from their negative behaviors and are ready to serve the Lord, no matter what that looks like.
Our goal at U-Turn For Christ is restoration. When individuals in the ministry submit themselves to the Lord, they experience a transformation that renews every aspect of their lives. They lose the desire to numb their pain with drugs or alcohol and abandon harmful behaviors such as isolation, secret-keeping, and living as if no one else matters. Those who find and hold firmly to freedom in Jesus Christ are forever changed, which is why the U-Turn model of restoration has been so effective for the past 25 years.
Graduates from this ministry, after completing Phases One and Two, are well-equipped with the tools needed to maintain a deep relationship with Jesus Christ if they choose to do so. Most of them do, and as a result, not only do their lives improve, but the lives of their families and loved ones also benefit.
