Program Overview
Webster Place Recovery Center is a private non-profit organization committed to providing a quality, cost effective residential recovery environment to adults seeking recovery from alcohol and other drug abuse and dependence. The center occupies the Creighton-Mack buildings on the farm, with twelve step programming interwoven with the workings of the farm and grounds. The 40 bed facility provides guidance and mentoring through the twelve step approach and traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous, although the facility is not associated with AA. Guided by highly skilled, committed staff and volunteers, Webster Place Recovery Center is a compassionate recovery community devoted to helping people help themselves and each other through meaningful participation in a dignified healing process that welcomes people from all walks of life and assists with their successful integration into their home communities with a commitment to lifelong sobriety. Meals are prepared and served family-style and group meetings are held regularly, allowing residents to provide the peer-to-peer support essential for maintaining sobriety. Comfortable, double occupancy rooms with private bath are provided to people seeking a sober community from which they can continue their rehabilitation.

The Webster Place Recovery Center will be a working community. Residents will participate in chores, helping to maintain the facilities and reconnecting with the land through a small-scale farming operation. Program enhancements geared to individual strengths and weaknesses will be provided. The typical resident will be someone who has completed detox or intensive in-patient treatment, but who is not yet ready to return home. The length of stay is open-ended and averages 60-90 days. A 30 day minimum is recommended. Individuals will work with staff to determine an appropriate length of stay and will work to develop a solid recovery plan in their home area prior to discharge that will include connections with members of the recovery community. Individuals who feel they need an extended stay or wish to relocate to the local area will receive assistance in securing local housing. Limited extended stay accommodations will be available on campus.

In its simplest sense, Webster Place provides a dignified place and setting for one alcoholic in recovery to help another alcoholic find recovery. That is our hope and our commitment.
