Programs
Our Recovery Model
Structured recovery that blends faith, discipline, life skills, and vocational training.
How the Program Works
Rebuilding Lives Since 1999
Warriors Center helps people rebuild their lives through a structured residential recovery program rooted in faith, accountability, and practical recovery work.
The ministry began with a men’s program in Memphis and expanded in 2016 with the opening of its first women’s center. Today, more than 200 residents take part in the program at any given time across our men’s and women’s centers.
The program is open to anyone seeking recovery, and no one is ever turned away because they cannot afford to pay. Our model blends spiritual formation, addiction recovery work, life-skills development, and vocational training within a disciplined environment.
Warriors Center at a Glance
A Balanced Approach
Body, Mind, and Spirit
Addiction affects the body, the mind, and the spirit. Recovery takes more than removing someone from drugs or alcohol, so our program addresses both the spiritual and practical roots of addiction.
Spiritual Formation
Bible study, chapel services, discipleship, and mentorship help residents build a lasting spiritual foundation.
Recovery Work
Recovery classes, step-based work, group discussions, and personal accountability help residents confront addiction directly.
Life & Work Skills
Daily responsibilities, life-skills development, and vocational training prepare residents for independent living.
A Structured Environment
A Daily Rhythm Built for Growth
The program is intentionally structured to help residents rebuild discipline, responsibility, and healthy daily habits. Residents begin their day early and move through a consistent schedule that includes:
- Chapel services
- Recovery classes
- Bible study
- Work responsibilities
- Community accountability
This disciplined environment breaks destructive patterns and replaces them with habits that support long-term recovery.

The Recovery Journey
Four Stages of Growth
Each phase builds on the one before it, helping residents develop discipline, spiritual maturity, and the practical skills needed for long-term recovery.
28-Day Spiritual Bootcamp
A focused first phase that helps residents step away from the chaos of addiction through structure, recovery classes, spiritual discipline, and a highly accountable daily environment.
Long-Term Discipleship
After bootcamp, residents continue their recovery through discipleship, mentorship, accountability, and personal development as they grow in maturity and responsibility.
Work Training & Life Preparation
Daily work assignments build responsibility and provide real-world job training through campus roles, Warriors Center social enterprises, and partnerships with local businesses.
Graduation & Independent Living
Graduates leave with a strong spiritual foundation, meaningful work experience, and the life skills needed to live stable, productive, and independent lives.
Growth Through Discipline and Leadership
Advancing Through the Ranks
As residents progress, they advance through a military-style rank system that reflects their growth in recovery, responsibility, and leadership. It sets clear expectations and encourages residents to take ownership of their growth.
Advancing requires completing recovery coursework, Bible study, life-skills training, and community outreach. Residents also show personal growth, spiritual maturity, and a willingness to serve and encourage others.
Through this process, residents not only rebuild their own lives but grow into leaders who strengthen the community around them.
A Long-Term Commitment to Transformation
Restoring Lives. Building Futures.
Some people come only for the 28-Day Spiritual Bootcamp, but most continue into the long-term program. Most residents spend 12 to 18 months with us as they prepare for independent living, meaningful work, and long-term stability.
Recovery is not simply about overcoming addiction. It is about rebuilding a life with faith, discipline, meaningful work, and a renewed sense of purpose.
