Eden Shores Ministries

Eden Shores Ministries (operating as Eden Shores Recovery) is a faith-based residential addiction recovery center located along the Gulf of Mexico in Panama City Beach, Florida, just off scenic route 30A. Structured as a Christian discipleship program, it offers a 3-to-6-month residential stay for men and women working to overcome alcohol, drug, and other life-controlling issues in an environment the ministry describes as one of love, acceptance, and forgiveness.

Care blends pastoral support with clinical input. The program team includes a medical doctor, a Christian psychologist, a chemical dependency counselor, and marriage and family support, alongside Christ-centered 12-step work, relapse-prevention and recovery-skills curriculum, anger and stress management, and aftercare planning. Eden Shores does not run an in-house detox; it states it has partnered with local doctors and certified alcohol and drug counselors to assist with detox and recovery, and it has expressed plans to open its own off-campus detox facility in the future.

The beachfront setting is central to the experience. Clients stay in spacious accommodations with coastal views and 24/7 supervision, with amenities that include three meals a day, physical fitness, transportation, a swimming pool, and off-site activities such as kayaking. A business center is available for clients who need to continue working remotely during treatment, reflecting the program's focus on privacy for working professionals and business owners.

On payment, Eden Shores is transparent: it is currently a private-pay facility and does not bill insurance. It does not accept commercial in-network plans, Medicare, or Medicaid at this time, though it has stated an intention to seek insurance licensure as it builds out a full clinical team. Prospective clients should call the facility directly to discuss program length, cost, and current admissions.
