Our Mission
Celebrating CFC Recovery
We are committed to helping individuals and families struggling with addiction find, maintain, and strengthen their recovery through peer-based support programs and an all-encompassing recovery community. Click Here to Read Our Stories of Hope
“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

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.

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
