Addiction is devastating not just to the addict, but also to their family and our communities.
Men of Nehemiah is not just another addiction recovery center. We are a Christ-centered organization that exists to rebuild the lives of men who have been torn apart by drug and alcohol addiction. We serve each man and his family as he is restored to the person God has created him to be, reunited with his family and community.
Our unique model combines the latest research-backed clinical services with compassionate spiritual care and a one-of-a-kind military structure.
The core of our program is grace-filled biblical discipleship that shows men their true value in Christ regardless of their past. In addition to Bible study and intentional discipleship, a cornerstone of our program is worship.
Each week, our men lead powerful times of worship, testimonies, and teaching open to the community. The men also travel to churches and events as a worship choir, sharing their testimonies and displaying the power of God in their lives..
We utilize cutting edge, trauma-informed clinical and medical services designed to address the root causes of addiction, including individual, group, and family counseling. Since 2010, we have served more than 1,500 men, and our holistic model is proven to get results. 87% of the men who have completed our nine-month program and continue in our sober living after-care community have been drug and alcohol-free for a year.
The final focus that makes Men of Nehemiah unique is our military structure. Our environment provides routine, discipline, and practical life skills that carries men through their treatment and sets them up for success after they graduate. It also instills character and leadership to take back into their homes and communities.
After her father graduated the Men of Nehemiah program, a daughter reflects on the transformation she’s witnessed. His joyful energy, his leadership in Christ, and his intentional presence have brought light and healing to their entire family.
“You have a light back in you, and it shines on all of our Wolfpack. We’ve all been more filled with joy since you’ve been back. I’m so grateful you’re now living as the man God called you to be—not just for you, but for all of us.”
After losing his home, his job, and nearly his family to meth addiction, he arrived at Men of Nehemiah with nowhere else to turn. Through the program, he found healing, identity, and lasting purpose.
“I’ve learned why I am the way I am. A lot of old wounds from my childhood have been healed. I finally found direction—and now I can walk as the man of God that God wants me to be, and the man my family needs me to be.”
Raised with no faith and taught to run from it, he lived in darkness filled with fear, self-doubt, and a deep lack of self-worth. But when he finally hit his knees and asked for help, God answered—and led him to Men of Nehemiah.
“Men of Nehemiah has taught me how to love myself and gain self-worth. Through spiritual discipline and structure, I’ve found freedom—and I now know my family, my two beautiful boys and my wife, are my priority. I finally have purpose, light, and a foundation to build my life on.”
At the Men of Nehemiah, our mission is to restore the lives of men struggling with substance addiction through a comprehensive, Christ-centered, and transformational residential program.
We believe every man is deeply loved by God, and that no past mistake can define the hope and purpose God has for his future.
Our 9-month program integrates clinical therapy, structured military culture, and intensive Biblical discipleship to heal the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Through 13 hours of weekly clinical services, 10 hours of military training, and 20 hours of Biblical teaching, we offer structure, accountability, and help foster a relationship with Jesus Christ. We also embrace the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous as a proven path toward lasting recovery and Godly living.
We welcome every man that is ready for change—regardless of his faith background—with dignity, compassion, and hope. As a ministry of restoration, we are devoted to helping each man reclaim his identity, restore his relationships, and live the life God created him to live.
We recognize that addiction wounds not only the individual but also the family. We believe the family of every man has suffered alongside him, and we are committed to offering support and healing to both the man and his loved ones—so that entire families may be restored.
Need One: MON Core Treatment Program
Men of Nehemiah is experiencing unprecedented demand for our life-changing addiction recovery program. We're literally busting out of the seams as more men than ever are seeking the hope and transformation our unique approach provides. To meet this critical need in our community, we must expand our capacity by adding more licensed counselors and clinical staff to support additional men entering our program. Each new counselor we hire means we can serve more families torn apart by addiction, bring more men into lasting recovery, and restore more communities affected by this devastating crisis. Your investment in expanding our treatment program directly translates to more lives saved, more families reunited, and more hope restored. The demand is there, the proven model works—we just need the resources to scale our impact and meet the overwhelming need for effective, faith-based addiction recovery in our community.
Need Two: MON Families
Addiction is a family disease that devastates not just the individual struggling with substance abuse, but also tears apart the loved ones who have suffered alongside them. At Men of Nehemiah, we recognize that true restoration must extend beyond the man in recovery to encompass his entire family system. While our program has proven incredibly effective at transforming the lives of men battling addiction, we know that lasting recovery requires healing the wounds that addiction has inflicted on spouses, children, parents, and siblings. That's why we're committed to expanding our family support services—offering counseling, education, and healing resources specifically designed for those who have been collateral damage in addiction's wake. Your investment in our families program means we can provide the comprehensive care needed to rebuild relationships, restore trust, and equip families with the tools they need to support their loved one's recovery while healing their own trauma. When we heal the whole family, we create a stronger foundation for lasting transformation and break the generational cycles that often perpetuate addiction.
Need Three: MON Communities
The transition from our intensive nine-month residential program back into the community is one of the most critical phases of recovery, which is why we're expanding our Sober Living initiative to provide continued support and structure for our graduates. We recently have been able to serve as many as 60 men in Sober Living in one, a unique facility located just a few blocks from our MON headquarters. We need your investment to complete the finish out of this facility that can serve as the center of a community for men as they navigate this crucial step toward independent living, ensuring they have a safe, supportive environment surrounded by others committed to sobriety. In order to provide safe, reliable transportation, we also need a van for our Sober Living residents to get to work, attend meetings, continue to engage with men in our Core program and maintain the connections essential for their ongoing recovery. Our Sober Living community has been instrumental in the lives of men who are desperately seeking recovery but still need time, and the support of friends, to accomplish their goals. Your support of our Sober Living expansion means more men will have the extended support system they need to maintain their sobriety, successfully reintegrate into society and become productive members of their families and communities. It's the bridge between transformation and lasting freedom.
