What Makes The Ed Keating Center Different?


Our operating philosophy insists:


(a) That recovery services should be available to any man or woman who has a genuine determination to overcome their alcoholism or addiction, without regard to their ability to pay for the help they require; and

(b) That these services should be provided without the direct assistance of any local, state or federal agency, instead depending on the private support of individuals and organizations who believe in communities helping themselves.

More directly, what separates The Ed Keating Center from similar organizations may be found in this difference: Our only deciding question to the man seeking help is “What are you willing to do to become sober and straight?” not “How will you be paying for our services?”


There are numerous options available to the man or woman with the means to pay for alcohol or drug abuse treatment. For those who have only the determination to become sober, there is the Ed Keating Center.
