“Waking up for a few sober minutes, face wet, embedded on a dirt ridden floor, in this abandoned motel in the middle of palm springs…I was crying in my sleep. I needed to run from myself, instead I reached for another needle….internal combustible self-hatred. If I remained sober for too many minutes I would have to realize where I was and what I had become.” Click Here to Read Daniel’s Story

Our Programs

Helping Our Local Community recover

CFC Recovery Homes

Opened in January 2015 in Monmouth and Ocean County, CFC Recovery Homes were created as a perfect model for long term recovery. Many sober living's lack the structure and management that is necessary to guide individuals on a positive path to recovery. CFC Recovery Homes are a perfect blend of independence, peer support, safety, and structure that will keep residents motivated and focus on their positive life goals. These houses are democratically self-run and self-supported by occupants in recovery.

Coming Full Circle

What CFC Stands for

“I always describe addiction as more of an infection than a disease. It starts off as a wound that isn’t taken care of properly whether that is a chemical imbalance, a belief system that is irrational, unresolved trauma or the inability to cope with conditions. A person finds a substance or behavior that fixes the symptoms but not the problem and the wound becomes infected (addiction). Addiction Treatment is where one goes to clean that wound out of the infection and then recovery, community, and relapse prevention are the protocol in order to finally heal that wound. Once all our wounds are healed, we need to maintain these practices so that any new wounds do not become infected.”

– Daniel Regan, Founder

Testimonials

Stories of Hope & Healing

CFC has given me so many great things in my life and recovery since joining two months ago! Today after the Saturday Smart Recovery meeting me and two other CFC members went to the Manasquan reservoir. I had a beautiful time and was with an awesome company! I've met so many amazing, like-minded people with the same goal as me. CFC has also motivated me to better myself and my health. I recently started eating healthy and working out because being in recovery is about the whole picture...the mind, body, and spirit. Being a CFC member has done wonders for my well-being and recovery! Many thanks to this fantastic foundation! 🙂

This is my favorite meeting. It settles me and let’s me sustain a full hour of total calm and relaxation. I think everyone should experience this as it is good for mind,body and soul. We are very lucky to be afforded the opportunity to have such experience staff teach us!

Thank you to jay, Ashley, and Dan v for putting this together for our CFC family. This was such a good experience and such a fun time getting together with everyone, having the theater to our selves, and getting into the Christmas spirit. Hands down one of my favorite nights with everyone yet! It’s so refreshing to go to our events SOBER and actually enjoy my self. Laugh with people I love, and not run to hide in a bathroom and drink just to build up the courage to be around everyone! Always looking forward to the next event!
