About the Adult Rehabilitation Program

The Salvation Army of Washoe County provides a 70-beds 26-week program for ages 18-62 years old men with no charge of entering the program. We help these men restore their lives themselves and with the ones they hurt. During this program, we help them to become productive people back into society. We use a balanced program of Work Therapy, Spiritual Development, and Education to help them into recovery. The recovery process is hard and through the dedication of fellow alumni of the program and competent staff members, we help that person dealing with the grips of addiction and rebuild him into a new man.

Components of the Program

There are three components of the program like stated earlier that we use to help men with the grips of addiction.

  1. Spiritual
    • Beneficiaries are required to participate in all spiritual offerings of the APR, which are based on traditional Christian beliefs.
  2. Work Therapy
    • Learning how to work and how to cope with the stresses of the workplace is crucial. All beneficiaries will do 40 hours of work therapy per week.
  3. Education
