Slavery

by ateam

From the inside out, let me just say that this place takes in drug/alcohol abusers and puts them to work driving trucks, picking up donations, minding the store, etc etc. The facilities are run down and they give the "inmates" 7 dollars a week which begs the question, where does the money go? Also, there is little if any thought towards true rehabilitation, i.e. job placement, battling temptations. It is all Christian centered and even that is very skewed towards fanatical right-wing propoganda. It's nothing short of a Christian jail that preys on people with serious substance abuse problems. The success rate of those that leave is dismal at best.

• Pros: Cheap merchandise
• Cons: Contributing to a "questionable" establishment

A place like no other

by bmehmet

I was at faith farm over 10 years ago. I needed help and they gave it to me. When you're own life isn't working because you just can't manage yourself due to addiction, you need a new way to live. This is what faith farm offers. They offer spiritual food. Anyone who goes to faith farm should never complain about it because their own life was a mess to get them there in the first place. I never finished the program. I was about 28 years old, and my life showed it. I was able to get a college degree after I left and start a successful business; but all the money I was making enabled my addition and continued my suffering for many years. I wish this on no one. I'm returning to faith farm and completing the program now at age 41 because it's not about experiencing pain any longer, it's about saving my life. I am going to die prematurely if I don't...

The good news is that I'm still alive and able to go back and complete the program. I have great potential and have taken my LSAT for law school and hope to enter in Sept. 08. I want to specialize in criminal justice and work with young offenders. I want to try and help them change their ways. To see a different path in their lives besides helping them with their immediate legal needs. I was there and I know. My addiction has lasted for over 26 years and I have suffered...I'm tired and broken.

• Pros: Spiritual food
• Cons: The pain from trying not to listen to your addition that keeps pulling you away.
