Mission
and
Purpose
THE SHOULDER
The philosophy of The Shoulder is that alcoholism/chemical
dependency is a chronic, progressive, and potentially fatal illness
which is treatable.

The Shoulder’s Mission and Purpose is to provide long-term
residential and outpatient treatment for those afflicted with the
disease of alcohol and/or chemical addictions.

The Shoulder’s philosophy is that everyone deserves a chance
toward recovery, regardless of ability to pay. The Shoulder will never
reject a client because of financial reasons.

The Shoulder will present a treatment experience which offers
freedom from addiction through a spiritual awakening. The treatment
provided will follow a Christ-centered, Twelve-Step model. The
afflicted client will be treated with respect and dignity as befits one of
God’s children. Counselors will focus on recovery as a process of
restoring the broken harmony of the mind, body and spirit existing in
people with addictive problems.

The addictive disease is further viewed as a family disease. It is the
goal of The Shoulder to restore entire families to wholeness, not just
addicted individuals. The Shoulder is convinced that healthy families
result in healthier communities.

The ultimate mission and purpose of The Shoulder is to restore
addictive individuals to sobriety, successfully balancing physical and
mental health, family issues, and Christ-centered spirituality.
