A Recovery Program With Lasting Results
Our program uniquely combines the structure of in-home virtual recovery with the vital support of online group accountability.

This approach provides the structure and goals necessary for successful recovery while empowering your teen to confront and overcome their struggles at the source. It’s the best of both worlds, offering the stability of a structured program and the flexibility to navigate challenges within their daily surroundings.

Personal Life-Stories, Lasting Success
“The day that my son got baptized was one of the happiest days of my life.
During worship, my son suddenly went to Pastor Brandon who was singing a short distance from us. I learned that my son had sought out Pastor Brandon to let him know that he wanted to get baptized! It wasn't too long later that I saw my son standing in line to get baptized by Pastor Buddy. After an enthusiastic handshake and hug, he went under the water and came up triumphant and resolute in his commitment to follow Jesus! This joyful day was just one out of many, many days and situations before and after that day where, as Lead Pastor and Youth Pastor, Brandon Shank and Buddy Rivera were there for him. They walked with him, mentored him, and declared the promises of God over his life. They helped install a solid foundation in his heart and helped build him into the man he is today. I will always be eternally grateful and have the utmost respect for Buddy Rivera and Brandon Shank for the positive impact they had on our lives.
