The Forge Program at House of Hope FL helps men break free from addiction and rebuild their lives through Christian discipleship, accountability, and practical work training. Rooted in the belief that iron is refined by fire, The Forge guides men through faith-based recovery, 12-step and biblical principles, work therapy, and community service. This three-phase, structured program fosters spiritual renewal, a strong work ethic, and prepares participants for independent living and successful community reintegration, ensuring that sobriety becomes a new life, not just a new rule.
