WHO ARE WE

Surrounded by plentiful and peaceful farmland providing the perfect setting for a therapeutic substance abuse treatment center.

Shepherd’s Shelter is the vision of Pastor Wayne Ross, who knows firsthand what it’s like to be homeless and to abuse drugs. When he found God, he wanted to help others like him.

The first Shepherd’s Shelter was founded in Lexington for the homeless in 1999. Soon he found that most of the homeless people in his shelter were addicted to drugs and alcohol. Therefore, he began to offer spiritual solutions to their addiction problems as well as food and shelter.

By 2000 he was at full capacity and had a waiting list. Pastor Ross began to look for a larger facility to accommodate his new vision. His search led him to his former residential area of Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, where he was able to purchase a dissolute nursing home to be converted into what is now the Shepherd’s Shelter/ Ross Rehab facility.

Now Shepherd’s Shelter | Ross Rehab is a 54-bed facility on a generous and beautiful landscaped lot surrounded by farmland. Its plentiful and peaceful surroundings provide the perfect setting for a therapeutic substance abuse treatment center.

Shepherd’s Shelter is a private, faith-based, 501c3 facility that does not receive state funding.

Therefore, Shepherd’s Shelter relies on contributions from the community as well as other individuals and corporations.

A customized treatment program allows individuals to capitalize on personal strengths while working on targeted symptoms among peers and experienced clinical staff. All medicine and treatment are handled through the staff of Shepherd’s Shelter.

In all cases, Shepherd’s Shelter emphasizes the teaching of life management skills, coping strategies, and social rehabilitation. Patients learn how to function more effectively within their community, as part of their family and for themselves. The treatment goals are to form personal and peer alliances that will empower clients to take responsibility for their recovery, minimize relapse potential and focus on life skills.
