Information may not be reliable

Welcome to Summer House, the liberal and compassionate in-patient drug detox center. Our whole mission is to make detoxification process easy and comfortable for you! We accomplish this by giving you a liquid narcotic cocktail in reducing doses every four hours around the clock until you are clean. Our staff feels that any addict or alcoholic in need of medical detox has certainly suffered enough. WE WILL MAKE YOU COMFORTABLE! We know the horrors of delirium tremens and withdrawal symptoms and what it is to really suffer... We've all been there! No addict or alcoholic need suffer in the strict confines of a generic drug treatment institution where your identity is reduced to a mere number.

At Summer House we believe that each individual is unique. We allow people to be themselves and at no time do we judge them or become critical. We keep our patient's dignity intact by not letting them become sick from withdrawal. We have a very relaxed ambience where we give potent medication every four hours in reducing doses to make detox as gentle as can be. Our facility is reminiscent of a home away from home where you can safely and comfortably begin the process of becoming sober. You will not experience a cold turkey type feeling while with us. You will know that you are getting well because you will sleep nicely and eat delicious meals and that indescribably horrible dope sick feeling will be absent. You will also have the oppurtunity to engage with our counselors and dynamic team of recovering staff in a refreshing non-confrontational manner. This is where many people taste their first glimmer of hope. When not resting, eating, or engaging your recovery, you will have the freedom to use your lap top computer via our wifi internet system, or watch DVD's on our entertainment system while you relax in our homestyled environment. We know from our own bitter experience that addicts have suffered enough out there and we want to make the option of getting clean as appealing as is possible.

Summer House uses a liquid cocktail which is a combination of several potent medications which you will receive every four hours around the clock in reducing doses until you are clean. One of the medications is a short acting narcotic which will, in most cases, initially meet or slightly exceed your current "habit" to ensure that you are comfortable during your stay with us.

Summer House is a relaxed detox center where you will receive medication to make coming off substances relatively easy. It is not an 'in your face' type atmosphere but rather a caring family run homelike facility where a combination of withdrawal easing medication and amenities will make this trying time as cozy and comfortable as possible. Most people actually seem to enjoy and feel relieved to be at Summer House because they are not sick and know they are now on the right track.
