About the Program

Hebron men in a Bible study class at Camp HuntHebron in a demanding, intense, confrontational program. We call it spiritual boot camp. Each participant makes an eight- to twelve-month commitment to Hebron. National studies have shown that addicts completing a yearlong treatment program have a 75% chance of recovery.

Program Director Alan Bobbett says, "Out here, we have the opportunity to get very focused without the distractions of the inner city." The course work at Hebron builds on what the men are learning while they are in the Regeneration phase at in downtown Indianapolis.  While at the downtown facility, the men learn to serve others by serving the local Homeless population.  At Hebron, however, classroom time is combineHebron participants building a shelter at the Camp's new Archery Ranged with physical labor and leadership building.

Hebron program participants work in a mill setting, and produce and sell high-quality hardwood pallets, which partly defrays the cost of the program. Click on Hebron Hardwoods  for more information. When they're not doing that, they build a number of things.  Many of the Hebron buildings were built by former and current program members. The men also invest quite a lot of labor into improvements at Camp Hunt like finishing the new archery range, or building our new pasture that features various cattle.  All of this is instilling a good work ethic, and establishing self-worth and respect. 

 

Alan(Left) and 2  graduates of the Hebron ProgramThere is no pharmacologically based addiction treatment. Instead, Bobbett says, "My goal is to produce men who have a right relationship with God. Conquering the addiction will simply be a side benefit."

The cost of the program is $4,000. Participants who cannot pay the fee all at once are allowed to work out a payment plan to commence after graduation.
