Docs Place Recovery Brunswick Georgia

Brunswick, GA

Doc's Place Recovery, located along the scenic shoreline of southeast Georgia, offers comprehensive long-term sober living for men, with a particular focus on those in their twenties and thirties recovering from substance use disorders. The program features a structured environment where alumni house managers provide guidance and support for current residents. The recovery journey at Doc's Place begins with clear daily expectations: residents start their days by 9 a.m. on weekdays (10 a.m. on weekends) and participate in 12-Step Facilitation meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous. Within two weeks of arrival, residents are expected to secure full-time employment, supporting their transition back to independent living while maintaining an 11 p.m. curfew. With three locations situated near each other, Doc's Place takes full advantage of its coastal setting. Weekend activities include surfing, fishing, sports, and fitness training, creating opportunities for healthy recreation and community building. After 90 days in the program, residents can request weekend passes, gradually increasing their independence. The program addresses co-occurring mental health issues through visiting therapists and inspirational talks from alumni and guest speakers. Recovery progress is formally reviewed biweekly, ensuring residents receive appropriate support throughout their journey. Weekly random drug testing helps maintain accountability in a substance-free environment. Designed as a year-long program (though many choose to stay longer), Doc's Place balances structure with gradual independence. After 30 days, residents can gain approved access to electronic devices for communication with family, employers, and recovery supports. The comprehensive program begins with a $4,500 entry fee, which includes groceries for the first month, offering men a supportive coastal community where lasting recovery can take root.
