EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE TOWARD RECOVERY

Story and Mission

The Mission of The Shoulder is to restore individuals and their families who are affected by alcohol / drug abuse by providing quality , affordable treatment in a safe , secure , Christian environment .

The Shoulder was founded in 1988 by a men ’ s prayer group who recognized the need for a treatment facility for substance abuse in our community .

The Shoulder currently operates two residential substance abuse treatment facilities . The first is a 40-bed residential substance abuse treatment facility for men in Spanish Fort . The Shoulder offers two levels of state-certified treatment : Level III . 1 low-intensity residential care and Level III . 01 transitional residential care .

The second is our brand-new 42-bed residential women ’ s facility in Mobile . This facility also offers two levels of care : Level III . 5 high intensity residential care and Level III . 1 low-intensity residential care that mirrors our men ’ s program in Spanish Fort .

All services at The Shoulder are based on three foundations : spirituality , the twelve steps , and recovery orientation . Clients are expected to participate in multiple educational and process groups , 12-step meetings , spirituality groups , and individual and family counseling .
