I guess by not technically calling themselves a treatment center they are able to maneuver around existing state regulatory agencies and get away with hiring people that are not qualified to work there. This place is illegitimate.
I hope they get shut down soon. I knew this guy too and he is lying(and they paid him for sure).This place has so many problems. When I researched some of the backgrounds of the staff I found out many of them had ties to known cults like "The Option Institute" and degrees from non accredited universities like Capella University. Dr Don Durham's is from Texas Woman's University which is not accredited. Also on their application they say they are not a treatment center so what are they?a school??
I went to GateHouse, great program. Changed my life. Almost 2 years sober. Compared to other treatment centers in and around Prescott AZ , GH graduates do extremely well, given they work the 12 step program and a ready. Most people who get to GH dont get there by accident, nor do they come in just having picked up for the first time. Most residents have hit a hard bottom one way or another. I know I did.
truth is there's no such thing as alcoholism/addiction. so-called alcoholic drinking/using is just one expression of a compulsive personality. the key to lasting and satisfying recovery, therefore, isn't simply to stop drinking and using but, rather, to move beyond the entire compulsive lifestye. takes more work than your typical recovery program but well worth it in the end. anything short of this will leave you struggling with depression and anxiety, as well as relapse.
The GateHouse Academy is a place where you are locked up for 1 year. I was at GateHouse and I thought it was a horrible program. It is a place that just wants your money. It is also for adult addicts who are so fucked up they need to OD on drugs and die to better there life. If you qualify under that category then by all means Gatehouse is the place for you.
wrong. I have been there, I have met this guy, it is one of the best places I have ever seen. It is for people aged 18-25 and they teach you how to live with your addiction, but without the alcohol and drugs. It will save lives. just because you chose not to get anything out of it does not mean it isn't worthwhile. one of the things you apparently didn't learn was not to judge...
