They teach a strong work ethic while chasing God the entire time. I don’t view the fathers house as a rehab, I view them as family. Great place and great people.” </p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole loved one polled by Rehabs.com to date had a highly positive impression of The Father’s House, offering perfect five-star ratings for the facility's affordability, the connectivity and visitor policies, counseling options, facility cleanliness and upkeep, family participation, likelihood to recommend, and staff experience and training. </p> <p>In commentary, the loved one appreciated the facility’s "faith-based" and "hands on" approach, described as "very supportive and encouraging," but noted a lack of security. “Anyone looking for an accepting, open-minded, Christian-based rehab that will support you far beyond your time in the rehabilitation program would be a great fit for The Father’s House,” the loved one wrote. </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>The Father's House website provides no information regarding costs, however, it notes that residents who have regular income from, for example, disability and SSI, “agree to give 25% to The Father’s House to help cover the cost of my participation in the program.” Furthermore, during their stay, participants work on or off campus; their earnings are documented and a portion withdrawn to offset program costs. </p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?ei=SyutW7qSJpGazwK4wruQCg&q=the+father%27s+house+ministry+donaldson+ar&oq=The+Father%27s+House+Ministry+dona&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.33i22i29i30l3.13446.14036..15710...0.0..0.120.487.3j2......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j0i22i30j33i160.Xg2rWGORh3I#lrd=0x8632c4c46c847bf3:0x27c4f3f799ae5c96,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/The-Fathers-House-168373523226439/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/The-Fathers-House-168373523226439/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small></p>
