Some of the pastors here have good intentions but nonetheless as a Christian outreach program to help addicts through Jesus Christ they are not educated in the ways of the Bible at all many of them I would consider elementary education when it comes to the Bible. And what I noticed when I was there was it was all about money for them how can they make the most money out of you they're not compassionate whatsoever and their rules are a bit ridiculous I don't want to bash any more than I have to. But if you're going to run a Christian program at least know the Bible

Absolutely shocking how this is a faith based Christian program and after driving from Colorado to Orlando , that "pastor" tim would turn me away. I researched this program in and out and KNEW God sent me here to get my life back, they never even gave me a chance to show up in person though after all I missed my first intake which I was 100% at fault and had a couple slip ups but but for the most part I had surrendered ..and had the holy spirit knocking on there door, and they wouldn't let me in. I told tim today was my birthday as well and this was all I wanted was for me to show up today and prove myself I am truly about healing and my recovery. I know I would have been a good asset and positive spirit in the program all around ad now I am devasted..left with where to go after my family paid 1k plus to get me down here. I am hurt. My mistakes don't make me is what this place failed to recognize .

Very, poor. I've went here and in the 4 months I've spent here has been nothing but pure frustration. The rules are a bit over bearing and they constantly add more and more requirements to this already long list. The Christian aspect becomes hypocritical to the point where I've personally witnessed the Tim Joe and others cuss, and threaten everyone they threw out. They have currently lost numerous clients most due to people tired of the combination of both these things. Many of the other clients feel the same way but are trying with purpose. But it hard to deal with power abusing people that rather start a situation than solve one. I was removed today the say after I phased up. Make no sense. I paid my dues sis my homework attended all my classes and did extra work to help out, I spent quite a lot of free time helping other clients with the computers, and maintained a relatively positive attitude. I was harassed constantly other my mental illness. I scratch my shoulder and they thought it was a sign I needed more medication. I don't need more drugs, and the asked my to get more drugs for any behavior they scrutinized to be not normal. Also they said I didn't make enough money.I don't know why I left with a positive balance and not owing anything. I was also tired of being called a junkie, and listening to the leaders make racist comments and cuss or derogatory comments. You can see all this on their Facebook page when the go live on Thursdays go there and see what I'm saying. DO NOT COME HERE. You will waste time and money doing so. I'm still sober and will remain sober I hope you find a good alternative. Good luck God Bless.

They but me on a Black List and will not allow me back on to the property and won't give me a 2nd chance to go through the program. They preach forgiveness, but in the end don't give it themselves. Very shady people calling themselves preachers but don't practice what they "Preach" . Don't recommend to anyone who truly needs help with addiction. I wish I could give them a negative rating. Hince the 1 Star.
