Family Recovery
Malachi 4:6 “And he will turn the heart of
the fathers to the children, And the hearts
of the children to their fathers..” NKJV
Relationships can make or break a person
in recovery. That is why Waypoint Center
provides one more component to its program:
Family Recovery. As families undergo this
intense training, they begin to unfold the
underlying causes of addiction and break
the cycle for generations to come.
Family Recovery is a vital part of our
ministry. The families of the men in the
program are encouraged to participate in
discussion groups and Biblical counseling
sessions every weekend where each family
member receives guidance and spiritual
instruction in the rebuilding of family life.
Addiction is a disease that has many
casualties. It spreads and harms many of
those in our lives. This makes healing and
forgiveness with loved ones imperative.
Waypoint provides a place to manifest
healing and move forward in the rebuilding
of family relationships.
Each family member must attend Family
Recovery meetings in order to be allowed
visitation. There is a thirty-day detachment
period during which no visitation is
permitted. During the 30 days, family
members are highly encouraged to attend
Family Recovery Classes but may not visit
until approved by the Program Director.
Please call our office for more information
on attending Family Recovery Classes.

What We’re About...
The Waypoint Program
Admissions & Finances
Waypoint Center is a Christ-Centered drug
& alcohol recovery program located in
Dahlonega, Georgia. Our 12-month, longterm process of recovery is open to adult males
ages 18 and up. The purpose of our program
is to provide an opportunity for the men in
the program to learn to take responsibility for
their own recovery and adopt a whole lifestyle
change. We minister healing and restoration
to men caught in addictions by using biblical
counseling, teaching, small groups and work
programs.
The Waypoint program requires a 12-month
commitment. The first stage begins with
Orientation. During this time, the man will
begin to develop his relationship with the Lord
and gain an understanding of the Waypoint
program. During Orientation the man writes
a personal contract stating specific achievable
goals he intends to attain during the remainder
of the program.
The single most important factor for admittance into Waypoint’s program is a man’s
attitude. Each incoming applicant is interviewed to see if he has a sincere desire to
find spiritual help. We have found that we
cannot help a man until he is ready to let
God help him.
Waypoint’s mission is to minister to the whole
person, body, soul, and spirit, by fostering an
environment in which the healing power of
the Holy Spirit brings reconciliation with God,
true self, and others.
We truly believe that the only way to break
the cycle of addiction in a life, a family, and
a community is through the miracle working
power of Jesus Christ and the presence of the
Holy Spirit. Waypoint Center is a non-profit
ministry based on the Biblical teachings of
Jesus Christ.
The second stage of the program is called
Regeneration. In Regeneration Biblical counseling,
classroom teaching, and small groups are
methods used to address the spiritual, mental,
and physical issues associated with addiction.
The next phase of the program is called Inner
Healing where the man learns that forgiveness is
the key to spiritual maturity and that the cross is
the focal point for all forgiveness.
After Inner Healing the man enters Discipleship
Training where he learns to take his focus off his
addiction and who he used to be, and learns to
walk in the truth of who God says he is.
Throughout the 12 months each man is assigned
to a work task for approximately five hours each
day according to his physical ability and skills.
The purpose of this aspect of the program is to
learn good work ethics and apply relational and
job skills in a Christ-Centered environment.
New Start is the last phase of the 12-month
program, and is required for graduation. New
Start is a time to establish boundaries as a
man is transitioning from living in a program
to starting a new life outside of the program.
During this period of time we train men to
write a resume, interview for a job, and balance a
checkbook. The man will be employed outside of
Waypoint Center and be allowed to plan his own
schedule for the first time during his program.
A church home, outside meetings, accountability
partners, and daily planning are all requirements
of New Start. This is the most critical time to be
“plugged-in” to a healthy environment.
Our program is 12 months long and always
filled to capacity. Because of this, we have
established requirements that must be met
prior to consideration for admission. The
admissions requirements may be obtained
through our program office and are also listed on our web site.
The cost for the 12-month program is $5,375.
There is also a $429 application and processing fee due before or upon arrival to the intake interview. The transitional New Start
phase of the program is $125 per week.
We look at every intake applicant individually. Payment and financial arrangements
will be discussed with the Program Director
during the admissions interview.
