About Front Porch Recovery for Men
On a secluded 7-acre property just outside Savannah, Georgia, Front Porch Recovery offers fully customizable 30, 60, and 90 day residential programs for men experiencing addiction. Their intentionally gender-specific program helps men look inward and connects them with others who have similar lived experiences, reducing their isolation. With a focus on truly tailored programs, each client can expect to participate in daily 1-on-1 therapy sessions while playing catch, sitting around the fire, or walking around the property. They can also choose from a range of experiential therapies like equine therapy, tai chi, and neurofeedback. The Front Porch Recovery team intimately understands the struggles of addiction, as their personal experiences fuel their passion for helping men build a solid foundation for a new life. Their program is centered around the belief that the antidote to addiction is connection, which they help cultivate at Front Porch Recovery.
At Front Porch Recovery, healing begins with understanding. Their trauma-informed approach recognizes addiction as an adaptive strategy to cope with life’s pain. This view removes the stigma and often leads to genuine recovery. Under the guidance of clinician-owners and seasoned healthcare professionals with over 20 years of experience, Front Porch takes a thoughtful approach to recovery. The initial interventions focus on creating a foundation of safety and comfort for clients, allowing them to establish trust and stability before dividing into intense personal exploration. After a foundation of safety has been created, the program uses evidence-based, experiential and non-traditional therapies to do the deep inner work necessary for change. Clients can curate their own program using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relapse prevention planning, somatic experiencing, art and sound healing, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and more.
At Front Porch, family education is crucial. Families meet virtually or in-person with clinicians to learn about the neuroscience behind addiction. Once deemed clinically appropriate, family visitation is encouraged on Sundays. Throughout the treatment process, when clients experience a breakthrough or have a moment of clarity or insight, they have the opportunity to celebrate this achievement by going down to “The Ring” and ringing the bell, recognizing their progress. Beyond the deep healing that happens within the 8 hours of programming a day, clients can take advantage of on-site and off-site activities including tending to rescued animals, frisbee golf, mini-golf, go-karts, boxing, bocce ball, horseshoes, and more.
Every aspect of the experience at Front Porch is designed to create an atmosphere where clients feel safe and supported. The secluded, peaceful property, the historic yet polished details of the home, the full-sized beds and spacious gathering areas, the wrap-around porch, the swaying of the live oak trees all create a soft place for clients to land and begin healing work on themselves. The meals at Front Porch are either catered, chef-prepared, or cooked by clients using a meal delivery service. The blend of comfort, tranquility, and nourishment helps each client feel at home during their recovery experience.
