What Type Of Person Comes To Summer House?
Summer House is not for everyone. There are some people that feel a need to suffer greatly when they come off of drugs. There are some people that actually find some poetic justice in being sick. These types are used to revolving in and out of confrontational treatment centers and though they do not know how to truly stay clean, because they have the rhetoric down, they feel that they should suffer in a militant type center in order to be clean. Summer house is for those individuals who wish to avoid suffering – who wish to be able to sleep at night – who do not want to feel uncomfortable in a sterile type stuffy institution -who want to be able to eat, and feel relaxed. We encourage our clients to immerse themselves in recovery, but it is not a pre-requisite for attending our program. To put it as simply as possible, Summer House is for those seeking an easier, softer way down from drugs who have the luxury of choice in where and how they receive detox.
