The Problem

The Crisis We Face

Why affordable, Christ-centered recovery is desperately needed.

According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 19.7 million American adults battled a substance abuse disorder in 2017.

Though program costs will be variable, one might expect standard inpatient addiction treatment facilities to cost between $14,000 and $27,000 for a 30-day program, and outpatient treatment can range from free to $500 per session (American Addiction Centers, 2017).

According to the CDC, nearly 841,000 people have died since 1999 from a drug overdose. In 2019, 70,630 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States. The age-adjusted rate of overdose deaths increased by over 4% from 2018 (20.7 per 100,000) to 2019 (21.6 per 100,000).

Testimonials

Stories of Hope & Transformation

Pastor Matthew Barnett shares how newcomers, often arriving from the streets or broken situations, sit on an old lobby bench and are met with kindness, safety, and hope. That bench symbolizes more than rest—it marks the first step toward healing and a brand-new future.

This bench… was made for more than just an antique. It was a place of rest… a launching pad to a new start.

  • Pastor Matthew

Every part of being here at the Dream Center was worth it. Every single part. Now I can be what God wants me to be.

  • Teresa Martinez

The Dream Center didn’t push me away when I fell—they opened their arms and welcomed me back. They’ve given us an opportunity to live again.

  • Marie

I’ve never had a safe place to live. This has been a safe haven for me to rest and to heal. The Lord has met me in all the areas I thought were unreachable.
