CARS - Christ-Centered Addiction Restoration Services

The mission of CARS is to bring RESTORATION to lives destroyed by addiction. Our vision is to build and operate a long-term residential recovery home where individuals will be welcomed, encourage, educated on how to find and maintain freedom from drugs and alcohol, learn how to address and deal with their trauma, be restored, find their purpose and be equipped to be part of this community and others alike.

More About Us

Christ-Centered Addiction Restoration Services (CARS) is made up of a team of people from all over the area that are passionate about positive life change. CARS is actively working to provide community outreach and education, as well as support and resources for those struggling with addiction. CARS operates RESTORE meetings each week at 7pm at various locations in the counties of Culpeper, Madison, Rappahannock, Greene and Warren. These meetings serve to increase awareness of substance abuse prevention and opioid misuse by providing a safe space for those suffering from addiction, their families, and family and friends that have lost loved ones to substance use/overdose.

CARS is actively fundraising to be able to create long-term residential homes for individuals to find restoration and healing from their addiction. We are committed to building and running tong-term residential RESTORE homes. We are striving to raise funds for the purchase/construction and operation of our first long-term RESTORE home.
