From Addiction to Redemption — Through Jesus Christ

A free, six-month discipleship program helping men break free from addiction, rebuild their lives, and restore their families.

Our Mission

The INN Regeneration is a Christ-centered, in-house discipleship ministry dedicated to helping men overcome chemical dependency and rediscover their identity in Jesus Christ. For six months, men live free of charge in a structured, faith-filled environment where they are discipled, mentored, and equipped to live transformed lives rooted in biblical truth.

Free Residential Care

For six months, men live free of charge in a structured, faith-filled environment where they receive the support they need.

Biblical Discipleship

We lead men into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ through biblical teaching and mentorship.

Family Restoration

We focus on healing family relationships, especially between fathers and their children, for lasting restoration.

Our Story

From Rock Bottom to Redemption

The INN Regeneration was born from personal experience.

Founder Eric Garrison, a disabled Iraq War veteran, battled addiction after returning from service — a struggle that cost him everything: his children, his relationships, and his sense of purpose.

But God wasn’t finished.

By God’s grace, Eric found true freedom in Christ. His life was transformed through biblical discipleship, Christ-centered community, and the dignity of practical skill-building like painting and renovation.

Today, he is a devoted father, a respected member of society, and above all, a servant of the Most High.

Through The INN Regeneration, Eric now helps other men walk the same road — from addiction to restoration, from brokenness to bold faith.

Step-1

Provide 6 months of residential care at no cost

We offer a safe, structured home where men live free of charge for six months. This commitment removes financial barriers, allowing residents to fully focus on healing, growth, and transformation without the burden of cost.

Step-2

Lead Men into a Growing Relationship with Jesus Christ

Everything we do is centered on Christ. Through daily Bible study, prayer, worship, and discipleship, we walk with men as they encounter the living God and learn to build their lives on the foundation of faith.

Step-3

Teach Biblical Principles and Practical Life Skills

Our program combines spiritual truth with real-world application. Men are taught biblical wisdom alongside practical skills — like painting, teamwork, time management, and responsibility — to prepare them for a new way of life.

Step-4

Focus on Healing from Trauma and Addiction Through Spiritual Regeneration

Addiction is often rooted in deep pain. We don’t just treat the symptoms — we address the heart. Through Christ-centered counseling, mentorship, and community support, men find healing from the wounds that once held them captive.

Step-5

Encourage Reconciliation of Fathers with Their Children

We believe healing extends to families. Many of the men we serve are fathers, and part of their journey includes becoming the men their children need. We support and encourage steps toward forgiveness, trust, and reconnection.

Step-6

Support Long-Term Restoration of Families and Future Generations

The impact of regeneration is generational. As men find freedom and identity in Christ, their restored lives influence marriages, children, and communities—changing the legacy for generations to come.

Why It Matters

Addiction destroys lives, families, and futures. But through the Gospel, hearts are changed, relationships are restored, and men are set free to become leaders in their homes and communities. We’ve seen it firsthand — and we believe the work is just beginning.

How it Works

Through a structured approach combining biblical teaching, community living, and vocational training, men find healing and purpose.
