First off, let's give credit where credit is due.  We use Hazelden's Living in Balance Program.  They sell the core program that we use on Hazelden's web site for about a $1,050 just for the text book.  We would not be purchasing such a course of study if we didn't feel it worked.  And it does work.  Several books on Rehab Centers have quoted "I do not believe there is an alcoholic or drug user alive who would not be touched by Hazelden's treatment program. The Hazelden's prototype is a treatment model used by many facilities"  Ours is one of them.  If you have the $25,000, we would be the first to suggest you catch a plane up to Minnesota and enroll in their program.  We use their educational program ourselves in classes we teach.  The program was developed by the United States Government under Project Match and not only Hazelden uses it, but every Rehab Center in the Country that has even a remote chance of success will use it in their core program or be faced with failure. Our cost is $10,000 and it is all inclusive and that is the Hazelden's Living in Balance Core program as well as many other books from AA.  We cap our classes to no more than Ten students per class.  Operations with multi-million dollar over-heads can not do this.  Doesn't make them any less of a program, it just creates a larger classroom.  We find that working with small groups of ten or less has a higher rate of success than "just a face in the crowd".  Hazelden graduated over 7,000 people last year, in Minnesota alone. They have four facilities in different states.  We graduated about 50 students for the entire year and never more than Seven in one class last year and most are now clean and sober.  It works for us.  There is no one method of getting clean and sober.  There have been just about as many success stories as there have been drunks and addicts.  It works different ways for different people.  If you do not design a program that is tailor made for the individual, you risk loosing more than just a client.  You can't design a one size fits all program, you must take the individual into the actual design or it simply "won't work". 

Our Facility offers private suites.  Some facilities crowd people into one room and for some that works. Even Betty Ford, Sierra Tucson and yes, even Hazelden has multi-patient rooms.  You will hear every excuse in the world why packing a couple or more people into a room is therapeutic, but for some, its not.  It's crowded.  The truth of the matter is they just have too many students for their existing facilities. They have outgrown it and of course, success breeds success.  We congratulate them but keep our facility to less than Ten students per 28 day class.  We could pack even more into our facility as we have 36 private individual rooms.  We provide overnight accommodations for staff where if a problem exist 24 hours a day, someone qualified is there, on premises to solve the problem.   Transportation is always provided into outside meetings, shopping or even going to a restaurant on the lake where we teach Serenity and introduction to Spirituality.  Religion is for those who do not want to go to Hell, whereas we teach spirituality is for those who went to Hell and do not want to go back.  We have even taught spirituality at a National monument that honor the fallen dead.  It is a peaceful place and it does seem to have the presence of something or someone with a higher power than we possess.  A classroom is not always within a building although we use conference rooms, classrooms and even great Halls for our instruction.  Our facility is 17,000 square feet, consisting of 36 private bedrooms, Great Room, Gym, Restaurant, Dining Halls and conference center situated on Two and Half Acres of quiet, serene, peaceful and calm surroundings nestled in the middle of "farm country".  But make no mistake about it, we are in the "boonies".  An Alcohol Rehab facility is not something you want in your back yard.  For change to take place, you need a change, far away from the influence of drug dealers, enablers, well meaning friends who want to buy you a drink and parties.

You will only make one trip to an Alcohol Rehab facility and you will only make one trip back.  There is no point in the Continental United States that is farther than four hours by airplane and four hours is really quite a short journey indeed compared to the path of destruction that led up to Alcohol or drug rehab.  This place is not situated on the beach, we do not have a view overlooking the cliff sides of the Pacific Ocean and we do not offer a falling waterfall.  After all, this is Rehab. Make no mistake about it, it is cunning, baffling and deadly this thing we are fighting. It's not a vacation, you are not going to a resort hotel, you are going to a specific designed "clinic" type setting that is made to do one thing and do one thing well. That is to sober you up, dry you out and make you clean and drug free.  If that is what you want, then you should call us, we even buy the plane ticket and bring you to a safe environment that offers you a chance.  A chance at a new life is what it is all about. Call us now at 1-800-396-5534.  You can't afford not too, the life you save, could very well be your own.  Give yourself a chance.  Try our way. Your way didn't work out too well for you.
