Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves3 records

Broad incumbents

• Faces & Voices of Recovery: National umbrella organization for the recovery community movement and ARCO's parent body. FAVOR Upstate is part of the Faces & Voices of Recovery network and shares the same peer-support, multiple-pathway philosophy at a national advocacy level.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Large national addiction treatment provider with clinical and educational programming. While clinical where FAVOR is non-clinical, it is the dominant brand in the SUD space and a frequent referral destination for FAVOR participants.
• Shatterproof: National nonprofit focused on ending addiction through advocacy, public education, and payer/provider system change. Operates in the same SUD ecosystem and competes for similar foundation and corporate donor dollars.

Direct peers

• Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR): One of the most established recovery community organizations in the U.S. and a fellow CAPRSS-accredited peer. CCAR pioneered the All-Recovery Meeting model and recovery coaching training that FAVOR directly emulates in Upstate SC.
• The Phoenix: National nonprofit that builds sober community through fitness, climbing, and events led by people in recovery. Operates with a similar peer-led, multiple-pathway ethos and an analogous free/donation-based service model across multiple U.S. cities.
• Philadelphia Recovery Organization - Adults (PRO-A): An ARCO-accredited recovery community organization serving the Philadelphia region. PRO-A offers the same combination of recovery meetings, peer coaching, family support, and community education that FAVOR delivers in Upstate SC.
• Recovery Café Network: Network of recovery-focused community centers that offer peer support, meals, and group programs at no cost to people in recovery. Operates a franchise-like affiliate model that is conceptually similar to FAVOR's multi-center footprint.
• SMART Recovery: Science-based addiction recovery support organization offering mutual-help meetings and online tools globally. Operates virtual support groups much like FAVOR's Zoom-based meetings and competes for the same secular, self-empowerment-oriented participant base.
• Oxford House: National network of democratically run, self-supporting sober living homes. While focused on housing rather than center-based support, Oxford House shares FAVOR's recovery-community ethos and serves overlapping populations exiting treatment.
• Hope for New Hampshire Recovery: Regional ARCO-accredited recovery community organization with multiple center locations offering peer support, family programming, and community education. Closely comparable operating model and footprint size to FAVOR Upstate.
