Center for Rehabilitation of Patients with Addictions

Since 1988, we have helped thousands of people from Central America and the U.S. to overcome substance abuse through our residential and outpatient recovery programs.

Evidence-Based Treatment

CEREPA is trained and certified in the Clare|Matrix Model addiction treatment program. The Matrix Model is a structured, multi-component behavioral treatment model that consists of evidence-based practices, including relapse prevention, family therapy, group therapy, psycho-education, and self-help. Our staff of 20 collaborators delivers the program in a sequential and clinically coordinated manner.

Treating the Whole Person

Addressing our patients’ spiritual needs as part of their recovery process is a cornerstone to our approach. Our full-time chaplain leads individual and group sessions with our patients, as well as connects them with local churches, who provide an affirming and supportive social connection to patients, post-discharge.

At Predisan, we believe lasting community transformation starts with purpose-driven leaders. 🙌

We were honored to sponsor the Global Leadership Summit in Olancho, where leaders gathered to learn, grow, and be inspired to make a greater impact. Our team shared the mission of Predisan Christian Hospital and CEREPA while also investing in their own leadership development.

When we strengthen leaders, we strengthen families, improve patient care, and help transform entire communities. This is the kind of leadership we believe in, and the mission we are committed to every day. 🌱

💪Strengthening leaders. Advancing the Kingdom.

During Dr. Fisher’s visit to Honduras, pastors from our COMPAS Network joined staff from PCH and CEREPA for a powerful training on Advanced Crisis Management.

We were also honored to welcome our strategic partners, Family Life Mission and El Sembrador, for this impactful time of learning and collaboration.

Together, we’re equipping Christian leaders with the tools they need to serve, lead, and respond with wisdom in moments of crisis.

After years of struggle, his turning point came at CEREPA, where therapeutic and spiritual support helped him reconnect with his faith, restore his family, and transform his life.
His story is a powerful reminder that hope can rebuild what once felt lost, and that recovery is possible.
