<p><strong>ABOUT CENTRAL CARE MISSION</strong></p> <p>Central Care Mission (CCM), located in Orlando, Fla., offers <strong>long-term residential treatment and resources to men</strong> struggling with addiction, homelessness, and poverty. The non-profit, <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/about/spiritual-and-religious-rehabs/" target="_blank">Christian faith-based facility</a> emphasizes whole-person recovery through Bible study, life skills training, healthy relationship development, and manual work. Of Florida’s 668 substance abuse treatment facilities in 2017, just <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/FL17.pdf" target="_blank">139 (20.8 percent)</a> offered non-hospital residential care for longer than 30 days, and 295 (44.2 percent) provided specialized treatment for men. Detox services are not available at CCM.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>According to the Central Care Mission website, this <strong>two-year residential program</strong> builds on a synthesis of Christian biblical principles and “the best of science, medicine, and psychology,” in a therapeutic community.</p> <p>To be admitted, clients should call CCM to schedule an initial phone interview. Following this is an on-site process that includes completing a written application, receiving a tour of the facility, reviewing the facility handbook, and participating in a staff interview. <strong>Court-ordered clients can be accepted</strong>.</p> <p>Residents can expect to participate in activities and follow a schedule that is designed to develop wellness in five areas: <strong>emotional, vocational, financial, physical, and spiritual</strong>. While the facility’s website does not specify particular psychotherapeutic modalities used, it does place <strong>an emphasis on reading, exercise, and church involvement</strong>. </p> <p>CCM is among the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/2017_nssats_rpt.pdf" target="_blank">38.6 percent of facilities nationwide</a> to provide employment counseling or training for clients. The facility’s work program is built mainly on nearby <strong>day labor assignments</strong> through staffing companies with which CCM partners. Random drug and alcohol screenings are required.</p> <p><a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">Aftercare</a> in the form of alumni support includes weekly meetings, accountability, professional guidance, and assistance with various stable living needs.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The president and CEO of Central Care Mission is an ordained pastor. Other central staff members, some of whom are program alumni, include a case manager and job placement coach. Local volunteer mentors meet with residents once a week.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Clients reside in four dorms at Central Care Mission. The property has <strong>on-site access to Lake Mann</strong>, where men can fish. Elsewhere on campus are a basketball court, weight pit, and chapel. Phone use and visitation are limited, requiring progress in the program and staff approval.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Feedback for Central Care Mission from former clients at the time of this writing was <strong>almost universally favorable</strong>. The one alum polled by Rehabs.com to date would recommend the facility to others, granting maximum five-star ratings for several aspects evaluated. These included the facility’s cleanliness and upkeep, exercise activities, the staff’s level of training and experience, and overall individual counseling. </p> <p>Lower ratings reflected the program’s tight focus and structure, with two stars for leisure activity, one for <a href="https://www.recovery.org/forums/discussion/7265/what-is-holistic-treatment-and-how-can-it-help" target="_blank">holistic offerings</a>, and one for flexibility in treatment options. The reviewer did express appreciation for CCM’s approach to recovery addressing more than chemical dependency.</p> <p>On Google, 25 individuals rated CCM 4.1 out of five stars on average.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <strong>Repeated comments characterized the facility as life-changing.</strong> One alum highlighted the positive results in his finances and support network. One reviewer <strong>disagreed with the facility’s financial arrangement</strong> and indicated that the environment was overly restrictive.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> The two available Yelp reviews were split, between one that echoed concerns with money and regulations, and the other that emphasized the staff’s commitment to his recovery.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small></p> <p>On the facility’s Facebook page, which its staff can manage, a rating of 4.8 out of five stars was based on the opinion of 34 individuals (a mix of alumni, friends and family members, and staff).
