Rise Recovery was founded on a simple belief: recovery should be grounded in compassion, structure, and genuine human connection.
With years of hands-on experience in behavioral health and a deep personal understanding of recovery, Lacey created a program that does more than treat addiction, it rebuilds lives. Rise Recovery was designed to help individuals rediscover who they are, rebuild their sense of purpose, and reconnect with the people and communities that matter most. Located in Portland, Maine, Rise Recovery provides a structured residential program where every participant is met with respect and guided through evidence-informed treatment that balances accountability with empathy. Lacey’s vision came from seeing what was missing in traditional models: the chance to heal not just the individual, but the family and the community surrounding them. That vision lives in every part of Rise Recovery — from the group-centered schedule to the culture of respect and belonging that defines the program. Rise Recovery is built on a team of dedicated professionals, including top-tier staff & board of directors, all of whom have a deep personal connection to the mission and a shared commitment to restoring purpose and healing. This collective strength offers invaluable branches to the program, enhancing daily treatment and ensuring that every participant is supported on every level, from clinical care to community integration.
“Recovery isn’t just about what you stop doing — it’s about what you begin to build.” — Lacey Knights, Founder.
At Rise Recovery, we believe that lasting recovery begins with respect, compassion, and structure. Every man’s path is unique — which is why we take a harm-reduction, whole-person approach that supports physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness.
Our program blends evidence-based practices with the humanity of real-world support. Residents work with licensed professionals to set personalized goals, develop life skills, and reconnect with a sense of belonging. Each phase of our program builds accountability and confidence, helping residents transition toward stable, independent living.
We recognize that healing isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. Through individualized care, cultural awareness, and a strong community foundation, Rise Recovery provides the tools, structure, and compassion men need to rise above the past and thrive in the future.
