The Drug Alternative Program (DAP), located at 5101 Meridian St., Huntsville, AL 35810, is a faith-based residential recovery center specializing in helping men aged 18 to 64 overcome substance abuse. Established in 1987 by Cliff and Freddie Harris, the program offers a structured, comprehensive 12- to 18-month in-patient program that promotes sobriety through discipline and holistic care.
DAP’s recovery approach addresses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Licensed professionals provide individual and group counseling to guide clients toward healing. Daily devotions and weekly church attendance foster spiritual growth, while a strict, substance-free environment—including abstinence from tobacco and caffeine—supports a healthy lifestyle. The program also incorporates work therapy, which enables participants to contribute toward their treatment costs while developing practical skills for post-recovery success.
What sets DAP apart is its impressive success rate, with 65% of graduates maintaining long-term sobriety, significantly higher than the 16% average for traditional programs. The program’s affordability and dedication to transformative recovery make it accessible to a broad community.
With over three decades of experience, the Drug Alternative Program continues to provide exceptional support for individuals seeking a new path in life
