Design your recovery

You are not your addiction. You are a person experiencing addiction. We work with you to discover all of who you are.

Set in a secluded 7-acre property, 15 minutes from historic downtown Savannah, Front Porch is a residential substance use treatment center with lengths of stay spanning 30, 60, and 90 days. We pride ourselves on being a small and gender-specific dual diagnosis program serving adult men (18 and older). Men face their own unique challenges and require treatment designed to address those issues.

What is trauma:

"Trauma comes from a Greek word for 'wound'. Trauma is a constriction, it's a narrowing, it's a diminishment of your emotional functioning, your psychological functioning. Trauma is not what happened to you; trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you. Trauma is the wound that results from what happened to you. That's good news because if trauma is a wound, it can be healed at any time. We can be made whole again in the healing process."

- Gabor Mate'

At Front Porch we understand the process of healing from those wounds; including wounds you’ve experienced in past substance treatment centers where you felt invalidated as a full person and treated as if you are only your addiction or simply a revenue stream. We see addiction as a solution once used to mitigate the pain of our trauma, one that no longer serves to bring us the lives we really want to live. What started off as adaptive strategies for survival in a harsh and painful environment becomes, for some of us, maladaptive and addictive, reducing our ability to connect with others and self meaningfully and live with purpose.

Our goal is to provide a place for you to feel safe, help guide you in setting your own system of values, and help you to develop functional and effective adaptive strategies to build the life you want free from addictive behaviors.

Just like you, we are uniquely different.

Much like building a home, recovery requires desire, a design plan, materials to craft the project, and a group of qualified providers to work with you to bring your project from development to reality.

Front Porch is your first step towards building your unique recovery blueprint. We offer a variety of evidence-based, experiential, and non-traditional approaches to treatment to help you create your own recovery structure.
