About Operation 6:12 – Sugarcreek
Located in Sugarcreek, Ohio, Operation 6:12 is a faith based residential treatment center for adults in addiction recovery. They offer separate residences for men and women. Recovery treatment includes a work program, discussion groups, Bible studies, and biblical counseling. The program can house up to 10 men and 10 women at one time.
The women’s residential program allows female clients to socialize with their peers and work on their recovery in a supportive, sober setting. In addition to attending treatment, clients will share household and yard maintenance duties. The facility is located 10 minutes outside of Sugarcreek, surrounded by farmland, to provide a peaceful setting conducive to healing.
The men’s residential program is surrounded by farms in Ohio Amish country. The homestead includes farm animals and offers relative isolation. Cell phones are prohibited, and television viewing is limited. You’re encouraged to interact with others, study, work, read, write, and take walks on the property.
At both facilities, you’ll participate in an addiction treatment curriculum known as Life Alignment. This is a specialized counseling approach that combines counseling and Biblical principles. Education sessions focus on providing strategies for participants to identify, understand, and ultimately surrender destructive behavior patterns. The program includes group sessions and individual sessions with a licensed addiction counselor. In addition to following individualized treatment plans, you’ll participate in a work program to help cover the cost of your stay. This also allows you to gain skills, strengthen your work ethic, build resumes, and develop independence and discipline. Often, jobs that participants acquire continue beyond the program.
Church attendance is another aspect of residential treatment. The facility operates its own church, called Church at the Barn. Current clients, their families, and graduates of the program make up the congregation. Activities include church services, baptisms, weddings, holiday celebrations, and fellowship meals. Church at the Barn members are divided into smaller groups that meet weekly to discuss life and spiritual issues and support one another. Larger discussion groups meet monthly. During these Bible studies, you’re encouraged to study the scriptures and apply lessons learned to their life challenges. Operation 6:12 invites pastors and other community leaders to teach and make connections with the participants.
Operation 6:12 is free for participants, so no insurance coverage is required. However, providers may need to make referrals to outside, community-based services for additional recovery support. If this occurs, those entities may be in-network with most major insurance providers. Out of network benefits can vary so confirm your coverage with your individual provider.
