The men receive education, counseling and spiritual support at night. By day, they perform volunteer “work therapy” for 40 hours per week, mostly distributing clothes, furniture and other donations to Salvation Army Stores.
The program teaches men how to change their lives to become productive citizens in the community, better fathers and husbands in their homes, and valued employees in the work place.
Our staff is a team of professionals, working together to provide the highest quality in rehabilitation services. Service include:
- Individual and group counseling
- Christian education, guidance and 12 step groups
- Chemical dependency education
- Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous

- Breathalyzing and random drug screening
We make every effort to bring about total recovery with a positive after-care support plan tailored for each individual. The goal is re-entry into society with sufficient supports for maintenance of sobriety and growth.
There is no fee involved to enter the program and no one will be turned away because of lack on income. Because of the intensity of the program, residents are not permitted to hold outside employment.
The main funding for the program is The Salvation Army Stores in the Twin Cities area. Materials which are donated by the community are collected and sorted before distribution to the family stores. The income generated by the sale of these items supports the rehabilitation program. There are no government, city or United Way funds used in the operation of the program.
For those men who do have income, we request that they pay a nominal fee to help defray the cost of room and board during their stay.

Hanks's Story
The Adult Rehabilitation Center program focuses on all aspects of a healthy life. I received much needed help and guidance physically, emotionally and spiritually. With Christ as a base to draw upon, I was encouraged to learn how to manage my life in a more acceptable and enjoyable manner.
Existing strengths were tuned and new skills were developed as my troubles with alcohol were addressed. I look forward to a new life and renewed relationships without alcohol clouding the rest of my life.
Jim's Story
Jim Paige woke up in a St. Cloud hospital with a tube down his throat, clueless about how he’d gotten there. The doctors later told him that his blood alcohol concentration might have been .7.
“At .4 is usually when death starts occurring,” said Paige, 45. “But I wasn’t concerned about death. I’d tried killing myself plenty of times before.”
It was fall 2012. Six years earlier, Paige had a family, big house, and a six-figure job as a patent attorney. But all of those things were gone now. Read his full story of recovery.
