They have alcohol and drug rehab services for men in the Boston, Massachusetts area. Treatment is provided on site and staff is fluent in Haitian, Portuguese, and Spanish. The program is funded by the Department of Public Health.
The John Flowers Recovery Home requires men to participate in detox treatment prior to entering their program. Services are provided in a residential treatment format.

Some clients can graduate and get a job within one month of staying in the program.
You may also participate in alumni programming upon completion of the program. This allows men to continue their treatment with others who are in recovery.
