Our Approach: Non-12-Step Rehabilitation & Recovery
Rehabilitation centers, anonymous support groups for addicts, and recovery programs have been around for decades aiding those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Through inpatient and outpatient programs, individuals have overcome vast amounts of destructive behavior and have grown into leading a more wholesome, fulfilling life. However, throughout the years, other options for addiction recovery have come to fruition.
The S2L Recovery curriculum encompasses a Non-12-step rehab program pulling away from traditional approaches, and expanding on each individual’s recovery journey. This recovery curriculum helps set our Christian recovery program apart and gives us an edge in helping you achieve the lasting wellness you deserve.
Understanding the Array Of Addiction Recovery Programs
The options for addiction recovery can be daunting and overwhelming. Factors, such as the type of addiction, have a strong influence on the makeup of the recovery program. It’s crucial for addicts and their loved ones to truly understand the depths of each variety when researching a program that will be a good fit. In the last few decades, many former addicts have worked to craft fresh rehabilitation programs, hoping to help others the way they were guided.
Some faith-based recovery programs focus more on spiritual healing while others prioritize science and cognitive development in order for patients to recover from their addiction. Within each of these Christian addiction recovery programs, there are specially catered therapeutic strategies in place to nourish and guide the addicts to a full recovery. A handful of the most well-known addiction recovery programs or therapy integrations include:

Science-Based Addiction Recovery Programs
Focusing on scientific evidential recovery tactics, science-based, also known as evidence-based, addiction rehab does center around Non-12-Step foundational outlooks. This practice is based on preliminary research acquiring methods for recovery through formulated tests, measurements, and analytical results. In addition, science-based programs frequently blend holistic approaches with evidence-based practices for comprehensive treatment.

Spiritual-Based 12-Step Rehab Organizations
This approach to addiction rehabilitation is seen in some of the most well-known recovery programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), and in recent years, Heroin Anonymous (HA). These programs utilize 12-step rehabilitation fundamentals and practices. These programs also emphasize letting go of control to a higher power of one’s choosing. Twelve-step recovery programs can be found in nearly every community in the United States.

Faith-Based Addiction Rehabilitation Center
Stepping away from the 12-step approach and bringing in the support of faith and community, faith-based programs have grown in popularity due to the rising success of recovery for addicts. A foundational belief within these programs is people don’t need to be addicts their entire lives. It’s a battle that can be won with confidence in God’s Word which leads to a relationship found in Jesus Christ in providing lasting Freedom from addiction.
Christian Addiction Treatment & Recovery: Key Components Of Our Non-12-Step Program
Common key components of a Non-12-Step rehab program include:
1. Utilizes growth principles that empower the person to not see himself as what he has done but who he has become, a new creation in Christ Jesus
2. Learn the forgiveness in one’s new life in Christ and press toward a better life in Christ
3. Its foundation isn’t based on successful percentages. Instead, it is based on testimonial experiences
4. Incorporates a pre-existing community-based model for immediate aftercare support

Non-12-Step Drug & Alcohol Rehab vs. Traditional Rehab
When an addict is finally ready to accept their situation and lean towards rehabilitation, it’s an encouraging moment, especially for their loved ones. They are making strides to move past an addictive lifestyle. Whatever program an addict chooses the end goal is still the same; to find freedom from the burden of addiction. However, the approach, strategy, teachings, and other factors separate traditional rehab from a Non-12-Step program.

If you’re ready to make some real changes and get out of your own way, S2L is definitely worth checking out. You can really tell the team cares about your success and well being so you can become a better more fulfilled version of yourself. Robert Jasinski 2025-03-05 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came into S2L at the lowest point in my life. I entered the program 107lb standing at 6’3”. I could barely eat, walk, or function like a normal human. I was deep in my addiction to Alcohol and pain killers when I came in on Halloween of 2016. From the moment I stepped into the Lodge at S2L, I knew this place had something special about it. The staff and students greeted me with open arms and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable from day 1. I came in for a 30 day program and ended up leaving 5 months later (3 months as a student 2 as an intern), gained my weight back (170lb). I left the program with a group of men I’m proud to be able to call my brothers, and more importantly, a new understanding of Jesus Christ. There have been some slip-ups in the following years but I always had and have someone that I could trust and go to whenever I needed. 8 years later I’m still connected to many of the men I followed Christ with, people that I can talk about things that only other addicts seem to understand. I’ve recommended this place to many people and have seen so many lives changed by S2L.
I came in as a broken man and came out as a follower of Christ!
Thank you S2L!! God Bless!! jonathan roth 2025-03-01 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place was great and really helped me strengthen my relationship with Christ further than it has ever been before. A few minor things I would improve but the purpose here is to find God or strengthen your relationship and I think they do an excellent job of that! Zeke McKinney 2025-02-18 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have seen the hand of God here in a different way than I have seen anywhere else. Truly, the love of Christ is present here at S2L and sinners are set FREE from the guilt and shame of addiction. To God be all the glory forever! Andrew Daigle 2025-02-15 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful people, amazing place Kenna Wellman 2025-02-14 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent 2022 in the S2L program. First phase twice, then I stayed for second phase on my 2nd go around, and interned. Having been to multiple secular rehabs and countless failed attempts at sobriety. S2L offered a new Jesus centered approach. At 38 years old, I had never read the Bible or regularly attended church.
The Lord used S2L to minister to me at a point in my life where I would listen. After loosing my father, being divorced from my wife, and 8hrs away from my kids, I was a broken man. S2L was a conduit for the Word of God to touch my heart and soul.
Words can’t describe what happened to me when I spent a year in Woodbury, TN at S2L. I became a Christian, a man, a husband again, a father again, a son again, and a friend again. The Lord used the pastors there and ALL of the staff to point me to Jesus. Once focused on him, the healing begun.
I say this, because it’s my truth. S2L changed the trajectory of my entire families lives. I will always be grateful for this ministry, and the men and women who work there. The staff was and is incredible.
If you are seek help in addictions, this is your place. If your family member needs help with addictions, this is your place. These people are the real deal, they preach and teach the Word of God.
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””
Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV
