Addiction Services

Fellowship House Addiction Services was created with the purpose of helping individuals who are struggling with substance abuse or alcohol. We assist individuals with referrals and advocate for them to receive addiction services coupled with care and loving support. Many men and women come in off the streets for food or clothing and we are able to share the Gospel with them, as well as offer them hope.

Here at the Fellowship House we provide prostitutes and drug addicts the opportunity to escape their environment and go away to a Christian Drug Rehabilitation Program where they are discipled and taught the word of God and are able to begin new lives in Christ Jesus. We also have Addiction Victorious support meetings for those who have come home from programs to continue on their journey of sobriety with accountability and support from the body of Christ.
