Ace Recovery for Men

About Ace Recovery for Men

Ace Recovery for Men is a men-only residential addiction treatment program in Chesterfield, South Carolina, just over the state line from Charlotte, North Carolina. They run a clinically managed, low-cost inpatient retreat on quiet rural land, built on a dual approach that pairs 12-Step Facilitation with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Men can choose set stays of roughly 14, 30, or 60 days, with longer stays considered after an assessment. They also offer a separate DWI/DUI track that combines impaired-driving education with treatment for people with North Carolina offenses.

Days follow a firm routine. Each morning starts with goal-setting, then CBT groups on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and 12-step facilitation groups on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Residents also take part in a closed 12-step meeting, motivational speaker meetings, journal discussions, house check-ins, chores, exercise, and an end-of-day review, with a nightly curfew. Groups are small and led by a counselor licensed as an addiction specialist in both North and South Carolina, and the residences are accredited by the South Carolina Alliance for Recovery Residences. Admission requires a sponsor, such as a relative or close friend, to help with travel, payment, and emergencies, and cell phones and electronics stay at home so residents can focus on recovery.
