Self Description:
"We are a social educational program that provides a permanent solution for substance abuse."
Approach to Dual Diagnosis:
"Many individuals are misdiagnosed with psychological problems because evaluations are done when patients are under the influence."
Family Program:
"The program is tailored to the guests but mending family relationships is a big part in recovering permanently."
Position on 12 Step Involvement:
"12 Step programs are ineffective in treating the majority of individuals trying to abstain from drug and alcohol use and, in fact, do more harm than good."
Position on Confrontation:
"Research has shown that treatment in a confrontational approach is detrimental to individuals trying to overcome substance abuse problems."
Additional Characteristics:
"We do not in any way adhere to the disease concept. Research has yet to prove that substance abuse is a disease and treating it as such has made problems worse."
