About Fresh Start Ministries of Central FL

Fresh Start Ministries of Central Florida supports men in overcoming drug and alcohol addiction with a faith-centered residential program. The mission is to help participants rebuild their lives while maintaining employment and staying present for their families. In a secure, organized environment, the program addresses substance use along with other issues that disrupt daily living, using a structured, step-by-step approach to recovery. The center’s curriculum is grounded in Christian principles, including Bible study and 12-Step meetings, which help guide men toward healing. Through counseling, residents develop practical life skills such as managing anger, practicing forgiveness, and improving communication. Treatment is individualized, with each man receiving a plan tailored to his specific needs. With prayer, peer support, and ongoing education, Fresh Start assists men in strengthening their mindset, health, and spiritual life. Residents stay in transitional housing where expectations promote healthy routines. They go to work during the day and come back by 6 p.m. for meals, classes, and counseling. The program also fosters strong relationships by building a community atmosphere similar to a family, encouraging men to encourage one another. As men move through each phase, they learn fresh strategies to live sober, remain committed to their faith, and build a productive future.
