About Webster Place Recovery Center
We are an alcohol and drug abuse peer-based recovery center. As a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, we are committed to providing a quality, cost effective, residential recovery environment for adults seeking recovery from alcohol and other drug abuse and dependence. The center occupies the Creighton-Mack buildings on the historic Daniel Webster Farm, with 12-Step programming interwoven with the workings of the farm and grounds and program enhancement opportunities. The non-medical, non-clinical, 40-bed facility provides guidance, coaching and mentoring according to the 12-Step principles and traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous, although the facility is not associated with AA.
Guided by a committed staff and volunteers, Webster Place Recovery Center is a compassionate community of people in recovery devoted to helping others seeking recovery help themselves. We help each other through meaningful participation in a dignified healing process that welcomes people from all walks of life and assists with their recovery journey and a commitment to the promises of sober living. 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 baths are provided for those seeking a sober community from which they can continue their rehabilitation in safety with dignity and respect.
The Webster Place Recovery Center is a working community. Residents 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 are provided. The typical resident is someone who has completed detox or intensive in-patient treatment, yet is not ready to return home.
The length of stay is open-ended and averages 60-90 days. A 30-day minimum is recommended. Individuals work with staff to determine an appropriate length of stay and to develop a solid recovery plan in their home area prior to discharge that will include connections with members of the recovery community. Limited extended stay accommodations are available on campus.
A thorough assessment by the resident's primary care physician, or designee, is required prior to check in and must indicate that the potential resident is capable of full participation in all aspects of the program. The assessment also includes a physician review of medications. Applicants on addictive drugs or drugs with high incidents of abuse will be excluded from consideration for registration.
In addition, individuals with a documented history of sexual assault and/or arson are also excluded from program participation. Residents will be responsible for securing and self-administering prescribed medications. Agreements are in place with local health providers to provide needed services.
On an oxbow arm of the Merrimack River, lies a floodplain that was farmed by Daniel Webster's family during the 19th century. Since then, it has been a home for post civil war orphans and a home for nuns. Webster Place Recovery Center is now a place of hope and recovery for alcoholics and drug addicts.
