About Us

A Mission for Recovery

At Stable Recovery, our mission is to provide a safe and stable living environment for men in early recovery. We are a peer driven therapeutic community with a focus on equine-related employment opportunities.

Our Commitment to Life Beyond Addiction

Stable Recovery is a recovery program meant to help individuals overcome addiction, stay sober, and rebuild their lives and purpose. Founded by Christian Countzler and Frank Taylor, who have both walked the road to recovery, our organization is built on the belief that true recovery takes Accountability, Structure, Discipline, and Responsibility. At Stable Recovery, we focus on lasting transformation, equipping our residents with the tools, values, life skills, and support they need to thrive beyond addiction.
