Medical Wellness Center
The Shoulder is a non-profit Christian center in Spanish Fort, Alabama, that helps men recover from drug and alcohol addiction. They offer a low-intensity residential program with a focus on spiritual growth, 12-step recovery, and individualized care while clients continue working. After this program, men can move into transitional living care for similar, continued support and community reintegration.
The Shoulder uses evidence-based treatments like individual and group counseling to help men overcome substance use. They also offer horse therapy through a partnership with Equine Therapy Group, adding a hands-on, holistic element that supports emotional healing and personal growth.
While in the program, men must get and keep full-time jobs, helping them build responsibility and life skills. The center uses a sliding scale for fees. The ability for clients to hold jobs during the program and the sliding fee scale aim to make treatment accessible and help clients adapt to long-term recovery.
