About Faith Farm Christian Residential Treatment Center
Inpatient care sees clients living on the Faith Farm campus for the duration of treatment, which typically lasts for 10 months. This setting provides you with 24 hour care and clinical support as you begin your recovery journey. You’ll be closely monitored by staff who’ll chart progress and provide ongoing guidance. Because it is a working ranch, those enrolled in the program will also engage in daily operations, which take on many forms. They have the capacity to accommodate 90 clients at a time.
On site work adds a greater level of structure to treatment and helps foster work ethic and personal responsibility, two principles important to the program. In addition to recreation, the program provides therapy, life skill coaching, and spiritual teaching and support. Treatments follow a college-accredited recovery curriculum.
Recovery is an ongoing, life long process whose success benefits from extensive support. While you’ll leave the program with the skills needed to lead a sober life, you’ll have ongoing support from Faith Farm. Staff will help prepare clients with a fully developed aftercare plan that establishes important goals and connections with community resources to assist on the continuing path of recovery. Those who complete the program can return for the Advanced Student program. Alumni work and act as support for other students while continuing their own education.
While staying at Faith Farm, you’ll experience many opportunities for interaction with the local community. For example, they may play a role in operating the Faith Farm thrift store in downtown Okeechobee. Such opportunities provide more opportunities for them to utilize the skills learned during treatment.
Faith Farm Ministries is a not for profit organization that survives on charitable donations and gifts. Applicants do not require insurance or other financing to attend. However, providers may make referrals to local, community providers for additional medical services or psychiatric support. If this occurs, those entities may be in-network with most private insurance plans. Ask your individual provider to verify your coverage as out of network benefits could vary.

Twenty years ago I walked in the doors of faith farm in Okeechbee And never had to look back on my Addiction And saved my life by the grace of God
This place definitely has a cult vibe.
So many aspects of the program are not shared when you call for information. You don't find out a lot until they have you suckered into the program. It's a full on labor camp. You get judged and ridiculed by "staff" It's not about a man's recovery, it's about filling spots in the work load.
I came down from Georgia, a 13 hour drive, spent 4 days there, never felt the presence of God, never felt like this was where I was supposed to be thanks to "staff" There's much better options out there for you or your loved ones to find your sobriety.

Levels of Care
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
The first step of the recovery process involves the removal of all drugs and alcohol from your system while under 24/7 medical supervision. Known as a medically assisted detox, you are closely monitored by medical staff who can provide medications, if necessary, to help alleviate any potential withdrawal symptoms. Medical detox is usually followed by a period of inpatient addiction treatment.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
