The Jericho House firmly believes that the only way to break the cycle of addiction that affects a life, a family, and a community is through the miracle-working power of Jesus Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Jericho House addresses the whole person- spirit, soul, and body.

The Jericho House was founded by Pastor Larry McKenna in September 2009. He is a graduate of Dunklin Memorial Camp in Okeechobee, Florida.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

A quality drug rehab in Georgia can help you overcome addiction. This environment is designed to help you address the complex issues contributing to drug dependence. The goal of treatment is to give you the tools you need to make a full recovery.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Like many others, this place saved my life. 5 years after graduation, my life has not stopped getting better using the faith and obedience to God that was planted in me at JH.

In 2016 I checked myself in, and in 2017 I graduated a new man. I ve seen so many lives changed through this ministry, as well as countless family members. So, so grateful for The Jericho House.

Took our $2000 then 1 day in said the kid we were sponsoring was not a candidate because of his mental health issues which were well known beforehand by them. No refund, not one dime. We were trying to do the godly thing and help this kid out and asked repeatedly before we gave any money if they were sure they could take his issues. Also started out as $1200 then when he got there turned into $2000. We feel scammed. At least could have refunded us some as we payed for the first 30 days.

God used the Jericho House to miraculously save my brother s life. I am so thankful for places such as this who press in to get to the heart issues and root of addiction. It s never going to be a quick and easy fix, and the staff at the Jericho House invested the time & love into my brother to where he genuinely is a new creation in Christ Jesus! Don t lose hope for your loved ones. Their life can be restored. In God s time not our own. Thank you Jericho House for truly being the hands and feet of Jesus.

My son was here for a year. WE loved the staff. The location. Everyone was family. I liked the idea the guys come and go a lot. Some to jobs. Many activities to keep them busy. They all help each other-brotherhood. The weekends are relaxed. Family time. Time to unwind. Always church. Only God can change your heart and heal your wounds. I will always be grateful for Larry and Kevin and the younger staff. They are so passionate about their healing work. It isn't a job...it is a rescue mission. My son has been recovered 3 years. Addict's have their trials but he is "hanging in there." Thanks Jericho House.

Beware for your loved one.I went to this to this place for help. It is a work camp for those who can t defend themselves. There is nothing medical within the walls of the camp. The owner hires out your loved ones for labor to the highest bidder.Everyone is scared to death of the owner. He is the biggest liar along with his cronies, just to get you there. Get them out now, please. Help them!

Response from the owner3 years ago
We continue to keep you in our prayers, that God would strengthen you and help you uphold the commitment you made to your family before coming to us. We know we aren't a perfect fit for everyone, and we sincerely hope you are able to find the help you need. God bless you!
