Recovery Café

Recovery Cafe Lex @ Frankfort is an exciting new project of Recovery Cafe Lexington! We're so delighted to partner with the Episcopal Church of the Ascension in this effort to bring another space for healing to downtown Frankfort.

In some ways Recovery Cafe is not a typical cafe; we do not sell lattes or sandwiches. In other ways we are very much like a typical cafe. Recovery Cafe is a place to gather over a meal or coffee; a place to showcase talents at our open mic; and a place to meet new friends in a place where everyone definitely knows your name.

Our programs include individual support through recovery coaching, group support in a Recovery Circle, life-skills workshops, and sober social celebrations. For more information and updates about Recovery Cafe Lex @Frankfort email information@recoverycafelexington.org
