Fresh Start Ministries of Central FL

Fresh Start Ministries of Central Florida is a 12-month, faith-based residential recovery program located in Orlando, FL, serving men struggling with substance abuse and addiction. Founded in 1986, the program provides structured housing, meals, full-time work requirements, counseling, classes, Bible study, and drug screenings. Residents progress through phases addressing addiction, personal growth, spirituality, and aftercare. Upon graduation, men have the option to transition to an aftercare facility for up to one additional year. The program is Christian-based; while participants need not be Christian at entry, they are expected to engage in Christian practices including chapel, biblical teaching, and spiritual counseling as part of their recovery.
