About this facility
The recovery house in Jasper, Georgia offers a Christ-centered, Transitional Housing for Offender Reentry (THOR)-approved, state-licensed 12-month residential program for men ages 18–60. Set on 36 wooded acres, the peaceful environment supports healing. The first 3 months focus on intensive treatment without work, followed by employment and real-life application of recovery skills. The program blends Christ-based 12 Steps, spiritual discipleship, and life skills to foster emotional, behavioral, and spiritual change.
The program offers certified anger management, trauma therapy, temperament and life pattern therapy, moral reconation, matrix relapse prevention, and codependency recovery. Clients engage in Celebrate Recovery, spiritual growth, and individual and family counseling. GED (General Educational Development) prep, computer skills, financial literacy, and construction training support long-term stability. A no smoking, vaping, or dipping policy encourages gradual nicotine weaning. This faith-based program helps men overcome addiction and build purposeful lives.
At Good Shepherd Recovery House, being "THOR approved" means that the facility is officially listed in Georgia’s Transitional Housing for Offender Reentry (THOR) directory. This directory, maintained by the Georgia Department of Community Supervision, includes community-based housing options for individuals transitioning from incarceration or under probation/parole supervision.
