Here at Still Worthy we are dedicated to combating addiction through a holistic, faith-based approach that addresses the root causes of substance use and promotes sustainable rehabilitation.

About Us

Still Worthy, Inc. is a drug and alcohol recovery residence and non-profit dedicated to helping individuals struggling with substance use disorder overcome addiction and develop a relationship with Christ. It was founded by Uros Pejanovic and Patrick Pattillo whose personal experiences with recovery inspired their dedication to helping those struggling with substance use disorder. Driven by a commitment to provide support regardless of an individual’s ability to pay, they created a program tailored to address a wide range of needs, covering seven key areas of recovery: abstinence from substances, health and fitness, employment, legal support, family and social relationships, emotional and psychological well-being, and spiritual growth. By combining Christian principles with a 12-step recovery program, Still Worthy offers a holistic approach that promotes not only sobriety but also personal development and spiritual renewal. The organization emphasizes the importance of community, fostering a supportive and faith-based environment that aims to create lasting change in the lives of its residents. This comprehensive model helps individuals rebuild their lives, achieve sustained recovery, and reconnect with their purpose and faith.
