About Doc's Place Recovery

Situated on the shoreline of southeast Georgia, Doc's Place Recovery provides long-term sober living for men, especially guys in their 20s and 30s, recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. Alumni house managers and speakers contribute to house life and off-site excursions.
The entry fee of $4,500 includes groceries for the first month.
Doc's Place currently has 3 locations near each other.
The days begin by 9 a.m. on weekdays and by 10 a.m. on weekends. During the day, clients participate in a 12-Step Facilitation meeting, such as an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting. By day 14, Doc's Place expects residents to work at a full-time job. The standard curfew time is 11 p.m.
On the weekends, Doc's Place leverages their proximity to the beach and parks to facilitate group activities like surfing, fishing, sports, fitness training, and more community events. They also keep surfboards onsite for clients to check out. Clients can request weekend passes after 90 days of living at Doc's Place.
Doc's Place brings in group therapists, and alumni and guest speakers sometimes visit to speak to clients. The therapists and speakers address co-occurring mental health issues that can affect sobriety.
Every other week, staff review clients' recovery progress.
The program lasts a year, and many clients stay longer.
To ensure continued sobriety, Doc's Place performs weekly random drug tests, which the house provides at no charge. They allow residents to use electronic devices after 30 days by approval of a house manager or a director. Clients can use their phones to communicate with family, their workplace, Doc's Place staff, and other parties involved in their recovery.
Directors or staff members approve visitors or medications. They don't allow products containing alcohol, such as mouthwashes and cough medicines, or non-alcoholic beer.
