Founded by

Uros Pejanovic and Patrick Pattillo

Whose personal experiences with recovery inspired their dedication, regardless of an individual's ability to pay.

Led by

Olav Vigen, Cofounder and CEO

Two years at the McShin Foundation in Richmond, Virginia, supporting individuals in early recovery and reentry, before returning to Still Worthy.

Matthew 11:28

The Three-Pillars of Recovery and Rehabilitation

“Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.”

  1. I

    Spirituality

    Build a relationship with Christ.

    Recovery at Still Worthy is built on faith. Residents work God-centered 12 Steps and study Biblical teaching together, so the change goes deeper than staying sober.

  2. II

    Purpose

    Live a purpose-driven life.

    We are not focused on helping our fellow addicts and alcoholics regain what they lost in active addiction, but rather gain something greater than they have known.

  3. III

    Community

    Develop positive fellowship.

    Being alone never feels right; sometimes it feels good, but it never feels right. We want to foster meaningful life-long friendships built on empathy and understanding.

Residency Program

Everything a resident needs to begin healing.

Six kinds of help, under one roof. Each one is there because early recovery stalls on more than cravings: a missed court date, no ride to an appointment, no licence, no work.
