The Salvation Army of Memphis celebrated Thursday the establishment of the first Adult Rehabilitation Services campus for the national nonprofit agency.

The Salvation Army is moving its drug and alcohol addiction program from its Downtown location to a 20-acre campus. The new location is at 2649 Kirby-Whitten Road.

With the new center, the Salvation Army is increasing the number of beds from 80 to 125. It will also have 12 apartments for long-term transitional housing for men who need additional assistance after completing the six-month program.

The campus offers outdoor spaces, classrooms, a library, common areas, a computer training lab and a chapel. It also has an outdoor pavilion, basketball courts, a softball field, a running track and a garden pond.
