Keaton’s Place
The first stepping stone to your drug and alcohol recovery in the heart of North Carolina. ♥
Four Facilities for a Better Life
In order to better serve those battling addiction, Keaton’s Place has expanded from one facility to four. Each serves a unique purpose in our mission below.
At Keaton’s Place, our mission is to provide assistance in navigating the complex process of locating detoxification and rehabilitation facilities for those who are seeking to change their lives and free themselves from addiction to drugs or alcohol. We provide support of sober living and help to locate short- or long-term programs to make substance-free living, maintainable. We provide educational opportunities to schools and other organizations, in the form of guest speakers, sharing Keaton’s story of addiction and organ donation.

Keaton’s Place Documentary
“He thought he was only hurting himself. Couldn’t be further from the truth. You’re hurting everybody that loves you.” These words, spoken by a parent, are from the documentary “It Happens Here,” which tells the addiction stories of two young men from Randolph County, North Carolina. It was commissioned by Keaton’s Place, a recovery resource center in Asheboro, North Carolina, and was filmed, directed, and produced by RhinoLeap Productions, a nonprofit production company in Asheboro, North Carolina. The stories of these young men may forever change the way you think about addiction.

Drugs Did This:
Retired journalist Chip Womick talks with individuals who have a connection to substance use disorder in Randolph County, North Carolina. Guests will include people in recovery, people who have lost loved ones to drugs, people who help individuals trying to beat the demon of addiction — anyone who has something to say that will push back against the stigma associated with addiction and help raise awareness about what’s going on in the community.
Podcast available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and other streaming platforms.
