Since 1948, this non-profit organization has been providing programs and services to help men fight substance abuse disorders.

Residential Rehab for Men in the Mountains
Bethel Colony of Mercy’s men’s residential program lasts 65 days and is rooted in Christian teachings which promote spiritual restoration while undergoing physical recovery. Unlike traditional rehab facilities, Bethel immerses patients in the Bible in order to overcome addiction through relationship with Jesus.
Residents can expect morning church services, Bible studies and devotionals followed by group sessions to discuss your addiction and recovery with others who are in similar situations. Afternoons typically involve work assignments like housekeeping, kitchen assistance and grounds or facility maintenance.
Evening church services are held three days a week and offer evangelism and discipleship opportunities. While onsite, residents have access to dormitory style rooms, a fully stocked gym, meals prepared daily and a beautiful chapel for worship services.
Beyond Sobriety: Aftercare Resources
Clients that complete treatment at Bethel have various programs and resources for aftercare. Alumni events are frequently held for both the women’s and men's campuses and are a great opportunity to continue relationships made and strengthen your bond with Christ. Events include an annual golf tournament, praise team church visits, and a very popular women's event called Royal Tea-Victorious Kingdom.
