Gilead Foundations is a Christian Therapeutic Community, offering a residential rehabilitation program, called KEY, for people with life-controlling addictions, such as drug or alcohol abuse, homelessness, gambling, eating disorders, self harm, and other addictive behaviours.

Gilead Foundations operates a three-phase therapeutic skills training programme for service users. These include detox, relapse prevention training, various therapies, and help with resettlement back into society. The phases enable the students to deal with the effects of addiction and to begin to take responsibility for their own actions, choices, behaviour, attitudes, personal health & hygiene & daily responsibilities.

Their Vision:

"To promote the mental and physical rehabilitation of persons suffering from drug and alcohol abuse or similar problems by providing therapy, teaching them spiritual values, and advancing their education (including life skills) so as to better enable them to cope with the business of life."
