GoForth Recovery, a non-profit organization established in 2018, provides a structured, gender-specific addiction recovery program and residential transitional living home for men and women facing substance use disorder (SUD), including alcohol and drug dependency. Our residential program fosters a safe and supportive environment where individuals can heal from addiction and rebuild their lives. Through accountability, structure, and community, we empower residents to take responsibility for their recovery and lay the groundwork for a fulfilling, productive future.

Residents commit to a minimum six-month stay in our recovery program, during which they engage in a comprehensive, structured path toward sobriety. GoForth Recovery offers a secure and supportive space where individuals identify the root causes of their addiction, develop essential life skills, and work toward successfully reintegrating with their families and communities.

Comprehensive Case Management

Our dedicated Case Manager, a Peer Support Specialist and Recovery Coach, provides one-on-one guidance and community resource coordination to help residents set and achieve personalized recovery goals. Meeting weekly and as needed, the Case Manager assists residents in driving towards the GoForth Recovery Program Outcomes: Employment with access to benefits, stable housing, family reunification, driver’s license and vehicle, primary care provider, recovery meetings, community service and home church. This essential support system empowers residents to rebuild their lives, gain independence, and create a strong foundation for long-term success.

Education & Life Skills Development

Recovery extends beyond sobriety—it’s about personal growth, lifelong success, and self-sufficiency. Our Education and Life Skills classes, led by PhD community leaders, subject experts, and strategic partners, provide residents with essential tools to rebuild their lives. The curriculum covers Responsible Thinking, Behavioral Modification, Brain Function and the Addicted Brain, Criminal Addictive Thinking, Nutrition, Exercise, Meditation and Sleep, Stress Management, Financial Money Management, and Develop your Personal Brand. Residents gain practical skills in nutrition, exercise, meditation, coping, and personal branding, helping them improve job readiness and build self-sufficiency. By fostering accountability, resilience, and confidence, these programs equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to reintegrate into their communities, maintain long-term sobriety, and achieve a stable, independent future.

12-Step Recovery Programs

We recognize that every individual’s recovery journey is unique. That’s why we support various recovery pathways, including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Favor, SMART Recovery, and Celebrate Recovery. Residents attend on-site weekly recovery meetings, have access to sponsorship, and are encouraged to engage in off-site local meetings to build a strong, sober community.

Professional Counseling

Healing from addiction often involves addressing deeper personal struggles. Our program offers access to professional counseling services that cover drug and alcohol treatment, adverse childhood experiences (ACES), grief support, trauma and PTSD, and recovery from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. By working through these challenges, residents gain the strength and resilience needed for lasting recovery.

Resident Client Advocacy

Navigating the legal system can be overwhelming, especially while in recovery. We assist residents with legal advocacy, including support in criminal and civil court matters, family court, social services, and probation or pardon cases. Our collaboration with the 7th Circuit Drug & Veterans’ Treatment Court ensures residents receive the guidance and advocacy they need to move forward.

Access Health & Dental Care

Health and wellness play a crucial role in recovery. Through our partnership with Access Health, residents receive healthcare services including primary care, diagnostic services, and prescription assistance.  Additionally, we facilitate dental evaluations and treatment plans through our partnership with Spartanburg Community Dental, ensuring that residents regain not just their health but also their self-confidence.

Resident Transportation Services

Reliable transportation should never be a barrier to recovery. We provide transportation (10-mile radius) for medical and healthcare appointments, employment and job interviews, legal and probation-related meetings, and other essential commitments—allowing residents to focus on rebuilding their lives without unnecessary obstacles.

Job Placement & Career Support

Building a stable future means securing meaningful employment. We provide post-intake job placement, resume assistance, interview preparation, and connections to local employment partners. Through our partnership with SC Vocational Rehabilitation and SC Works, we help residents develop career paths that align with their skills and aspirations.

Giving Back & Community Engagement

Recovery is more than personal healing—it’s about lifting others up. Residents are strongly encouraged to become volunteers in the community, carrying a message of hope to those still struggling. Our founders, staff, and volunteers have all followed this path, demonstrating that service to others is one of the most powerful safeguards against relapse. As each resident enters recovery and commits to giving back, the strength and impact of our recovery community grow exponentially.

GoForth Recovery operates as a National Alliance of Recovery Residences (NARR) Level IV compliant Service Provider and is a Certified South Carolina Probation, Parole & Pardon (SCPPP) partner. These certifications reflect our commitment to providing a structured, high-quality recovery environment that meets national standards and supports individuals through every stage of their journey.

At GoForth Recovery, our mission is to empower residents to take ownership of their recovery and establish a strong foundation for lifelong success. Through a structured, supportive environment, we equip individuals with the tools needed to regain stability, rebuild their lives, achieve lasting independence and sustainable recovery.

Together, we guide each resident in working on a roadmap towards our Program Goals and Resident Outcomes, helping them build a foundation for success upon completion. This includes obtaining employment with access to benefits (health & 401k), securing stable housing (independent living), and family reunification, allowing residents to restore meaningful relationships with their loved ones. Additionally, residents work toward obtaining a driver’s license and vehicle, primary healthcare provider, attending recovery meetings, community service, and a home church—all essential components of sustained success.

Recovery is the cornerstone of our program, instilling stability, accountability, and confidence for a renewed future. Upon transitioning from GoForth Recovery, residents are encouraged to stay engaged in their recovery journey by giving back to their communities, maintaining strong support networks, and reinforcing the life skills and healthy habits that ensure long-term recovery success.
