FAVOR Upstate offers programs and services that help people achieve and sustain recovery.
Many people believe that a person with substance abuse disorder must be willing to go to rehab and then attend 12-step meetings. That this is the only solution. This path does work for some people, but for the majority of people, it doesn’t.
The reality is that if you talk to the people who attend our All Recovery meetings, you will find that people find recovery in many different ways.
All programs are available at no cost. For more information about Individual Recovery Support, contact: FAVOR Upstate at 864-385-7757.
All Recovery Meetings
These one-hour meetings do not focus on a particular path to recovery, but are a way for people in all types of recovery to come together and learn from each other.
Recovery Coaching
Trained recovery coaches are the heart of FAVOR Upstate. These staff members and volunteers, in personal recovery or family recovery, commit to an initial 46 hours of training, plus on-going supervision and continuing education. A FAVOR Upstate Recovery Coach is someone who is interested in promoting recovery by removing barriers and obstacles to recovery and serving as a personal guide and mentor for people seeking, or already in, early recovery.
Generally, coaches assist participants with developing and following a recovery plan and solving problems directly related to recovery. This includes finding sober housing, making new friends, finding new uses for leisure time, and improving job skills. The relationship of a coach to a participant is strength-based and highly supportive, rather than directive. It differs from the role of a 12-step sponsor or professional clinical counselor: coaches do not diagnose, provide therapy, or help a participant work the 12 steps.
