About St. Christopher's Addiction Wellness Center

St. Christopher's Addiction Wellness Center (STC) is an addiction treatment center that is dedicated to implementing effective and affordable addiction wellness programs for men, women, and their families. STC meets the client where they are at by offering a wide range of programs including medical detox, residential care, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), sober living, a family program, and aftercare monitoring. STC also offers a Hero's Program (Higher Education Relaunch or Entry Support). This program blends sober living and education for those who are still in school. The residential program is typically 30 days in length, but an extended recovery home is offered for those needing longer treatment. The long-term 90 day program helps clients gain employment, attend school, and/or participate in volunteer work while simultaneously progressing through the program’s therapeutic structure and continuing the treatment foundations begun in earlier stages.
St. Christopher’s state-of-the-art Wellness Center opened in July 2016. The Wellness Program implements exercise programs and routines for clients based on their goals, personal needs, and physical capabilities. STC believes that exercise and physical activity may be the first part of the recovery process that delivers tangible results. In addition, STC also has a Biosound therapy chair which will assist the clients during detox and moments of anxiety and restlessness. St. Christopher's Addiction Wellness Center is a great choice for those seeking 12-Step care along with a strong fitness element.
