The Franklin SOP is an eight-week, three-evening-per-week virtual program designed for adults in Macon County who need steady recovery support, structure, and accountability without the intensity or cost of an IOP.

Yes. You can join from anywhere in or around Franklin — whether you live near town, in Otto, on the Highlands Road side, or up in the mountain communities — as long as you have a private space and a phone or laptop.

People who live or work in Franklin’s mix of small-town, rural, and seasonal environments: retail workers, hospitality staff, tradespeople, outdoor-industry workers, teachers, and folks who want reliable structure during early recovery.

Absolutely. Many Franklin residents deal with unpredictable work schedules, family expectations, and financial pressure. The SOP helps you build emotional regulation, stress-management tools, and healthier routines.

Each week explores emotional regulation, managing isolation, grounding skills, communication, triggers, boundary setting, rebuilding routines, and relapse-prevention planning tailored to mountain-town life.

Groups stay small — usually 6–10 participants — which keeps the environment personal, supportive, and private, ideal for a close-knit community like Franklin.
