Long-Term Residential Recovery Residence for Men

The residential program serves men age 19 and older in a staff-supervised recovery residence designed to feel family-like and structured. Along with group and individual counseling, services can include family therapy, trauma therapy, anger management, relapse prevention planning, and support group participation. Residents are expected to stay engaged in daily responsibilities and build routines that support recovery and independent living.

Outpatient Treatment for Adults, Teens, and Court-Involved Clients

Outpatient services include programming for adults and adolescents in a therapeutic group setting, with additional clinical support based on need. The center also provides services connected to drug court, including evaluations, drug testing, treatment, and case management. For people navigating license reinstatement after a DUI, Project ADAM offers a state-required DUI/Risk Reduction program that includes education and a clinical evaluation component.

Practical Supports That Remove Barriers to Staying in Care

Project ADAM pairs treatment with services that can make it easier to stay involved and rebuild stability. Depending on program level, support may include case management, transportation assistance, job coaching, budgeting support, vocational and educational services (including GED and literacy support), financial counseling, and aftercare meetings. Recreational activities and community engagement opportunities are also part of the residential experience.

Faith-Integrated Recovery and Medication Coordination

Treatment integrates 12-step principles with Christian-based individual and group counseling for clients who prefer a faith-informed approach. For medication support, Project ADAM coordinates medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and medications for alcohol use disorder through contracted prescribing entities, and it accepts clients who receive MAT prescribed elsewhere.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
