Good Shepherd Recovery House Jasper

Good Shepherd Recovery House in Jasper is a state-licensed program for men who are working to leave substance use behind. Men between 18 and 60 are accepted into a structured residential setting. The program is approved under Georgia's Transitional Housing for Offender Reentry (THOR) directory, which means it is available to men who are reentering society after incarceration or who are under probation or parole supervision.

Set on 36 wooded acres, the property offers a calm environment the program draws on to encourage reflection and healing. Christian faith shapes the whole approach, which brings together the Twelve Steps, discipleship in spiritual matters, and everyday life skills. Sobriety alone is not the aim; the hope is durable change in how a man thinks, acts, and goes about his daily routine.
