Our Mission Statement
Sharing the gift of recovery, CFTH continues to extend the vision first laid out in 1970 by our founder, Bob Bearden, to establish a drug and alcohol treatment facility based on Christian principles with the women's program beginning in 1978. Today as a state licensed facility, we're developing one of the finest teams and curriculum to be found anywhere. This purposeful, ongoing effort is being pursued to bring our staff together as a strong team. We make no apologies to the churches when we insist that the 12 steps are built on solid Biblical principles. CFTH is an intentional extension of many local churches serving in evangelism and discipleship with a specifically needy group in the midst of our culture. Our Spiritual Mentoring program has exploded over the last year with the addition of many new mentors who accept the relationship boundaries defined in our mentoring guide, and agree to work with us according to defined roles. Due to the nature of many of our clients, it is essential that Christian role models be completely informed before they accept a mentoring assignment. CFTH attempts to create an environment that is conducive to recovery and rules designed to lead clients to accept responsibility. Discipleship using the 12 steps brings the client to a point of realizing that changes in thoughts and actions must take place if recovery is going to be real. The focus of CFTH, then, is to bring the clients to recovery through treatment, life skills and meeting their spiritual needs. CFTH operates under TDSHS guidelines to protect the anonymity of our clients. We see these guidelines as a good idea and an important shield for those who are in recovery. For this reason, it is sometimes difficult to relate the powerful nature of our work to those who support us. Nevertheless, it is our desire to "give something back" to the companies, churches, and individuals who support us and to help them "feel" the deep commitment we have as an institution.
Alumni Events

Extending the Vision of Christ-Centered Treatment at CFTH

CFTH continues to extend the vision first laid out in 1970 by our founder, Bob Bearden, to establish a drug and alcohol treatment facility based on Christian principles. Today, as a State Licensed facility, we're developing one of the finest teams and curriculum to be found anywhere. This purposeful ongoing effort is being pursued to bring our staff together with the 12 steps of AA.

CFTH is an intentional extension of many local churches serving in evangelism and discipleship.

Our Spiritual Encourager program has exploded over the last year with the addition of many new Encouragers who accept the relationship boundaries defined, and agree to with us according to defined roles. Training and information classes are available to all volunteers.

CFTH attempts to create an environment that is conducive to recovery and rules designed to lead clients to accept responsibility. Discipleship using the 12 steps brings the client to a point of realizing that changes in thoughts and actions must take place if recovery is going to be real.

The focus of CFTH, then, is to bring the clients to Recovery through treatment, life skills, and meeting their spiritual needs.

The present Executive Director has taken CFTH in a new direction. Under State Licensing, CFTH has a firm treatment schedule, meeting all state guidelines, along with Bible Studies and activities.

CFTH operates under State guidelines to protect the anonymity of our clients. We see these guidelines as an important shield for those who are in recovery. For this reason, it is sometimes difficult to relate the powerful nature of our work to those who support us. Nevertheless, it is our desire to "give something back" to the companies, churches and individuals who support us and to help them "feel" the deep commitment we have as an institution.
