Holy Cross Rd PO Box 9 Franklin, NH 03235 Phone:603-934-2020 Fax:603-934-9815 Welcome! Get and stay sober by Growing Into Recovery (tm) Welcome to Webster Place Recovery Center. We are 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 Daniel Webster Farm, with twelve step programming interwoven with the workings of the farm and grounds. The non-medical, non-clinical 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 are available on campus.
A thorough assessment by the potential resident’s primary care physician, or designee, is required prior to check in and must indicate 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 medications. No resident shall be in possession of or ingest prescription and/or over the counter medications that are approved by their primary physician or other designated health professional. Agreements are in place with local health providers to provide needed services.
On an oxbow arm of the Merrimack River, between the county jail and downtown Franklin, lies a floodplain that was farmed by Daniel Webster's family. 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 & addicts. Webster Place is located in rural Franklin, New Hampshire, at the former homestead of orator and statesman, Daniel Webster. This serene and peaceful recovery facility is situated on a 250-year-old riverside estate, with over 100 acres of fertile farmland. (Photos on this page courtesy of Gail Rouseau)
