About Shepherds Fold Rehabilitation

Shepherds Fold Rehabilitation is a faith-based residential rehabilitation center dedicated to the discipleship of men struggling with substance use disorder in Cardwell, Missouri. They’re located on East Loeb Street in the quiet town of Cardwell, just a few blocks from Cardwell City Hall and about three miles northwest of the Mississippi River. The location is within a more rural setting with a peaceful environment conducive to reflection and healing. If you’re seeking a program that integrates faith with recovery, Shepherds Fold could be a great choice.

They blend spiritual guidance with practical recovery support within a 10-month period focused on restoration, recovery and renewal. At Shepherds Fold, you’re reminded that you still matter, even when it feels like the world has given up on you. They even support your entire family while you’re living on-site providing food boxes, hygiene items, cleaning supplies and paper products.

Structured and Christ-Focused Support

Shepherds Fold creates a structured, faith-centered environment that fosters community and Christian-based relationships. You’ll spend six months in this supportive community, immersed in faith-driven recovery to build strength and renew your hope for a better future. Emphasis is on spiritual growth, personal accountability and life skills development. While onsite, you’ll engage in structured daily routines such as Bible study, renewal fellowship and spiritual counseling to strengthen your relationship and reinforce your faith in Christ, the cornerstone of healing.

They incorporate Celebrate Recovery, a 12 Step practice grounded in biblical principles of grace, forgiveness and redemption to support spiritual growth in recovery. You’re also expected to attend church regularly to deepen your faith, build community ties and support your ongoing spiritual growth.

Vocational Education

The program is also deeply rooted in work therapy and vocational training, which are important for building practical skills and preparing you for long-term independence. You’ll receive vocational and life skills training in areas such as budgeting, resume writing, job interviewing and effective communication. They’ll also guide you through preparing for your GED or college, helping open doors to new educational opportunities.

Parenting skills training is included to help you build healthier connections at home and strengthen your role and bond with your family. Upon completing the six-month stay, you’ll move into a four-month outpatient phase tailored to support your ongoing healing, strengthen the skills you’ve built and help you confidently reintegrate into daily life.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient

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.

Treatments

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.

Clinical Services

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.
