Character First

Character First is an optional, Christian-based recovery model for clients who prefer a Christ-centered path to sobriety. This program promotes Jesus as the source of healing and reconciliation. This track offers Bible studies and a Christian 12-step program (Celebrate Recovery) as well as outside recovery meetings. Character First enrollees are also given opportunities for strong fellowship within the local Christian community including Christian processing groups and church services. Character First also utilizes traditional treatment that includes relapse prevention and one-on-one counseling.

When Jesus Spoke again to the people
he said, “I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness
but will have the light of life.”

John 8:12
