Sheepgate, a division of Adult + Teen Challenge of the Midlands, offers a distinctive 12-month faith-based recovery program specifically designed for men struggling with addiction, depression, and anxiety. This nonprofit rehabilitation center differentiates itself through its strong biblical foundation, incorporating scripture-based teachings throughout all aspects of treatment. Residents engage with Christian principles through structured instruction, independent study, one-on-one counseling, and active participation in a supportive Christian community. The program places significant emphasis on work experience, partnering with various companies to provide residents with opportunities in carpentry, mechanics, thrift store operations, and other fields. These work programs help men develop crucial life skills including responsibility, teamwork, communication, and personal initiative. For those without a high school diploma, Sheepgate also offers assistance in obtaining a GED. Treatment unfolds across two locations: residents spend their first seven months in Colfax, Iowa, living in dormitory-style accommodations while participating in structured work projects and house chores that include outdoor maintenance and animal care on the farm property. The final phase takes place in an historic home in Omaha, Nebraska, where men experience greater independence while maintaining sobriety, finding employment, and developing healthy interests in a supportive environment. Sheepgate reports a 70% success rate for program graduates. The program requires a commitment to the full 12-month duration and charges a modest intake fee of $750. The compassionate staff remains dedicated to supporting each resident's journey toward lasting recovery through this comprehensive, spiritually-centered approach.
