OUR STORY
OUR STORY
Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center is located on 62 acres of grasslands in the rolling, green hill country of Northern Mississippi. The custom-built residential stone lodge overlooks a peaceful lake, providing a safe and protective environment removed from the pressures of the outside world. At Stonewater, we offer our residents a home where they can feel the comfort to explore nature and focus on removing themselves from the mindset of substance use. The Fikes family built the Stonewater program out of sincere compassion for young males facing alcohol and drug dependence and a first-hand experience with the heartache and distress which threatens to destroy a family in the wake of substance use disorder.
Bryan Fikes, part of the founding family, began to face the pressures of fitting in and finding his place as an early adolescent. Although active in sports and the community, Bryan struggled to find his identity as a growing and developing young person. This search eventually led Bryan to a peer group who introduced him to drugs, alcohol, and an ongoing search to find the next high. Although there was countless emotional, mental, and physical evidence of his substance use, Bryan’s family mistook them for signs of puberty and healthy development for a young male. When Bryan’s substance use ultimately led him to arrest and jail, his family then faced the fear and uncertainty of how they could save him.
Through an extensive, multifaceted rehabilitation program, Bryan was eventually able to reconnect with his family, his Christian faith and a purpose that opened his heart to wellness and a healthy way of thinking. After learning first-hand the obstacles an individual and family face when confronted with adolescent substance use, from finding an effective treatment program to restoring relationships for complete family healing, the Fikes family committed to creating a safe and secure haven for other adolescents to reengage with their youth and find lifelong healing. The customized programs for each resident at Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center are designed to build a solid, lasting foundation, promote cleansing and renewal to start anew, and ultimately bring families back together for the ongoing journey of recovery.

The Residential Treatment Center at Stonewater
At Stonewater, our blessings are the youth we serve. Each young person is different, so our approach to each case is individualized. We know that drug or alcohol dependence is more than just the chronic use of a substance, so treatment focus is not another “just say no” approach. After proper assessment, our team of professionals will work to create the best possible plan to facilitate lasting change – change that is not only visible in the treatment setting but as the adolescent re-adapts to life outside.
The Stonewater staff is meticulously selected because they represent the best in the treatment industry. Whether the diagnosis is substance use disorder or a combination of disorders, our clinical team will not limit your loved one to a diagnosis. We build on the inherent strengths of the individual through Godly wisdom, shared goals, addressing trauma, and helping the adolescent identify and achieve newfound purpose and goals.
The Stonewater treatment process is designed to help young people positively change their behaviors, such as increasing individual choice for abstinence, developing positive social connections, establishing meaningful involvement in one’s own education, decreasing the potential for involvement in illegal activities and learning to make positive, healthy choices. It is through these outcomes that we believe an adolescent will mature and develop a strong foundation from which they can build upwardly throughout their life. Past hurts will no longer dictate future decisions, and healing from these hurts will establish the strength needed to achieve lasting recovery.
Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center provides 24-hour supervision for adolescent males in a 45-100 day residential living space with well-furnished semi-private rooms for each individual’s comfort. The staff maintains engagement throughout the entire stay. Stonewater provides withdrawal management, mental health assessment, individual therapy, group therapy, physical fitness programs, mindfulness practice and fun recreational activities along with a personalized transferable academic curriculum. Every thread of substance use disorder will be addressed throughout each individualized treatment stay.

“Stonewater was the best thing my parents could have ever done for me. I am grateful to a staff for his willingness to want to help change lives and for always being there to listen and to help me work on the deeper problems that I had. Stonewater changed my life.”
– KLT
“A beautiful place to be to overcome addiction problems. The staff is awesome and gives your loved ones the best of care so they are able to have a sober life style. Thank all of you for giving me back my beautiful grandson. God bless.”
– Betty
“I would recommend to any parent – if you’re seeing serious signs of isolation and depression or if your son went through a traumatic event, you need to contact Stonewater. We as parents wish we would’ve done something sooner.”
– Parents of Conner, Stonewater Graduate
“Stonewater gave me coping skills to deal with my depression, because I can’t fix the depression, I can just fix how I deal with it. Before, drugs were my only coping method…I never thought I would be able to be where I am at right now. I have a ways to go, but Stonewater definitely put me on the right path.”
– Stephen, Stonewater Graduate
“A family-based recovery center. We are almost at a year of having my wonderful grandson back to being the man he should be. I thank the Lord every day for Stonewater and all the wonderful people there.”
– Grandmother, Stonewater Graduate
“The Fikes family have their own story and I think that that helps tremendously, because they know what it’s been like to go through it. They can’t just sympathize, but also empathize with families. My advice to other parents is to make the decision, it doesn’t matter what time of year it is, make the decision. It’s the right thing to do for your kid and your family.”
– Parents of Stephen, Stonewater Graduate
“Stonewater saved my son’s soul…”
