Fresh Start Ministries began helping men in the Central Florida area in June of 1986. The Fresh Start program enables a man to recover from his addiction through a safe and secure environment, classes, support groups and biblical counseling. The Fresh Start program begins with an intervention, by confronting the individual with his dysfunction and its impact on his life, and then by principles of accountability and spirituality, the man is introduced to positive role models who help to redirect his life physically, mentally and spiritually.

Fresh Start provides an atmosphere of discipline, using Christ-centered principles, support and a sensible knowledge of addiction recovery.  By providing a strong biblical foundation and support in a family-like environment, the men are taught communication and relational skills, strong individual and family values, and the foundation of the Christian life, thereby strengthening their moral and social values.
