More Than Recovery. A Complete Return to Life.

Our mission is to provide effective, accessible addiction treatment that helps men and their families rediscover the best in themselves and achieve long-term recovery. We treat the whole person, not just the addiction, with clinical expertise, peer community, and a commitment that extends well beyond discharge.

Born From Personal Experience & Built on Lasting Results.

St. Christopher's opened its doors in Baton Rouge in 1998 with a clear conviction: that the right combination of structure, clinical care, and community could help any man find his way back from addiction. That conviction has never wavered. What has grown around it is over 25 years of proof.

Our Chief Operations Officer, Zach Knippenberg, is an STC alumnus. He came through this program as a client, built a life in recovery, earned a Master of Social Work, and returned to help lead the organization. Our Wellness Coordinator, Travis Weisbrod, completed our long-term treatment program in 2011 and came back to build the Wellness Program that serves every client on campus today.

When the men who run this place have lived what you are about to go through, it changes what treatment looks like from the inside.
