The T.E.A.M. approach to recovery -

(Together Everyone Achieves More)

We work closely with people with quality sobriety from the recovery community and peers who are residents to create a community and culture of support and help. We believe the process works when a person completes a fearless and searching moral inventory and then applies the principles of recovery to their daily living. Once this is accomplished we believe that person has an obligation to pass their knowledge on to another still suffering alcoholic/addict.

Our vision:

We are a compassionate recovery community devoted to helping people help themselves, and each other, through meaningful participation in a dignified healing process. We approach the recovery process as one that encompasses body, mind and soul and our person centered approach is a simple, basic offering that relies on a concrete, simple and repetitive message - to provide a dignified place and setting for one alcoholic/addict in recovery to help another alcoholic/addict find a path to recovery.

 

Our mission is to help restore the lives of men and woman seeking sobriety, reduce their chances for relapse, and ease their transition back into everyday life. We do this by helping them grow into recovery, and into a changed way of life, one day at a time, in a serene, pastoral, spiritual setting with support to allow this transformation to occur.

More on the History

 

How Webster Place Recovery Center got its start.

Alex Ray (a New Hampshire entrepreneur and owner of the Common Man www.thecman.com  family of restaurants) got wind of a large historic property, the Daniel Webster Homestead in Franklin NH, that was in danger of being razed for development. He acquired the property in 2007 with conservation easements and made a commitment to invest in the hope of reaching people who had a desire to overcome alcohol and drug abuse and dependence.
 Alex asked friends and people from the recovery community to help and, later in 2007, a board was formed and Webster Place, Inc. was incorporated as a non-profit. The center was opened to service in early 2008.
It is his compassion, investment, and courage that have brought us to a common table, to bring this vision to life -  to grow into a recovery center that will make a difference in the lives of all who come here. Read more.
 
Alex Ray – Founder
Owner of the Common Man family of restaurants. It's but one of many examples of Ray putting his philosophy about giving back into action.
 
"I'm not a philanthropist. I'm trying to build a business model that says you can grow a self-sustaining business and do it by giving back," Ray says.  
 
His passion for founding and developing a recovery center for alcoholics and addicts is based in his personal experiences with addiction and the realization that affordable, accessible recovery options were diminishing in the state. The father of two grown children, Alex resides in Ashland, NH.
