The Framework Recovery Difference
Framework Recovery not only provides men suffering from Substance Use Disorder (SUD) an individualized framework needed to become sober, but empowers them to stop living a life controlled by fear.
Outpatient Addiction Treatment
Like addiction, recovery is not an overnight process. And, it can be challenging without the proper help. At Framework Recovery, our goal is to provide the clearest path to successful and sustainable sobriety for you or a loved one. We believe recovery is more successful when outpatient treatment programs such as partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), monitoring, counseling and sober living homes (SLH) coexist together.
Sober Living Home
Housing provides a critical layer of accountability, encourages our guests to build a community and through that, understanding of what they are going through.
Chris Curran has had a tremendous impact on my sobriety. I never imagined that I would ever be able to get to 2 years of sobriety. All of that was possible with Chris’s guidance and expertise. Chris is best described as someone who is honest, trustworthy, humble, intelligent, understanding, and especially dedicated. His life’s mission is to help those suffering from substance abuse to achieve sobriety. Thank you Chris for everything you have done for me.
Troy and Chris are two outstanding guys. My experiences with them has been pivotal in setting a foundation for sobriety. They continue to play a massive role in my journey to a brighter future. I can’t thank them enough!
I have been fortunate enough to know Troy and Chris for several years now. I have seen them do amazing work with young men who are trying to recover from substance abuse issues. These gentlemen are very knowledgeable, passionate, and experienced with all aspects of addiction treatment. I would highly recommend considering Framework Recovery as an outpatient program for you or your loved one.
I've had the pleasure of working with Chris and Troy for the last year. These two gentlemen are extremely passionate about helping individuals in recovery, and have vast knowledge and experience in the field.
