About the Program

Hebron in a demanding, intense, confrontational program. We call it spiritual boot camp. Each participant makes an eight- to twelve-month commitment to Hebron. National studies have shown that addicts completing a yearlong treatment program have a 75% chance of recovery.

Program Director Alan Bobbett says, "Out here, we have the opportunity to get very focused without the distractions of the inner city." The course work at Hebron ha many of the same basic components as Wheeler's Life With a Purpose program, which is used at the men's shelter in downtown Indianapolis. At Hebron, however, classroom time is combined with hard, physical labor.

Program participants work in a mill setting, and produce and sell high-quality hardwood, which partly defrays the cost of the program. Click on "industry" above for more information. When they're not doing that, they build things: All of the Hebron buildings were built by former program members. They also invest quite a lot of labor into improvements at Camp Hunt, recently finishing a new archery range--complete with heavy landscaping.

There is no phamacologically based addiction treatment. Instead, Bobbett says, "My goal is to produce men who have a right relationship with God. Conquering the addiction will simply be a side benefit."

The cost of the program is $4,000. Participants who cannot pay the fee all at once are allowed to work out a payment plan to commence after graduation. Email Hebron for more information.
