Hebron Center

What does it mean?

The word Hebron itself means fellowship or community. The book of Joshua records for us that, in Old Testament days, there were to be Cities of Refuge. Someone who had killed a person unintentionally could go to a city of refuge, and stay there without fear of of retribution. Hebron was once such city. The "manslayer" would stay there until the death of the sitting high priest, and then could safely return home. Today, Jesus is the high priest who died for us, so that we--the innocent and the guilty--can return safely home.

Wheeler Mission Ministries Hebron Center at Camp Hunt is a long-term, residential recovery program in a remote setting, about 50 miles South of Indianapolis and is situated on 285 acres just North of Bloomington Indiana, bordering the Morgan Monroe State Forest. It is dedicated to the spiritual rehabilitation of alcoholics, drug addicts, and their families. We do this by ministering to the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of the addicted person. Our program is based on the premise of giving a man an organized opportunity to begin helping himself. We provide him with an atmosphere conducive to achieving the goal of developing a life-changing relationship with God.

Hebron is a demanding, intense, program. Each participant makes a twelve (12) month commitment to Hebron. National studies have shown that addicts completing a year long treatment program have a 75% chance of recovery.

We make no apologies for the fact that we believe the Christian approach to addiction produces the most meaningful, effective, and enduring results. God changes people, and He can change you if you are willing to be changed.
