About The Shoulder Spanish Fort
Addiction Treatment for Men
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.
Therapy That Builds Lasting Change
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.
Structured, Affordable Living
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.
