Summer House utilizes a state of the art medical protocol employing a twenty-four hour compassionate nursing staff who are closely directed by field leading addictionologist, Dr. Mark Wilner. Through years of experience beginning first with the ground breaking opiate detox protocol developed by the late Dr. Jules Trop, Dr. Willner and the Summer House Family have honed in upon a unique combination of medicines which make a detoxifiying patient suprisingly comfortable and drastically curtail any lingering withdrawal symptoms. Our Ambience
Some people have described Summer House as a Bed and Breakfast styled atmosphere and we believe they describe it as such because of the relaxed ambience. Just as when you go on vacation you take time for yourself and feel the pressure of everyday life dissolve, at summer house you take time out to start a new and better life. The most you will have to do while with us is maybe a load of laundry or two - we take care of the rest. You are not forced to wake up at any hour as we want you to get plenty of sleep. Your meals are prepared by a gourmet chef using all natural foods so that you may make up for the meals we addicts tend to miss prefering drugs instead. We have no restriction on caffeine or sugar as do some institutions. You may bring your laptop computer or cellular phone and relax as if this were your home away from home. We have WIFI internet and a full satellite cable system which you may enjoy in our family style relaxation room.
Other people have compared Summer House to the memory of that special friend's house that as a child it was always comforting to visit - the house where you always felt welcome and relaxed and in some ways may have enjoyed even more than your own - the house that always had great snacks, smelled nice, and everyone was pleased to see you and you seemed to effortlessly fit right in - the house where you were allowed to express yourself and you may have even done something spontaneous like jumping up and down on the bed.
The reason people have chosen to use the above anology we believe stems from the fact that we offer an environment for you to detox in that is remarkably more comfortable than other treatment centers which more often than not are stale, stuffy, and institutional. We are nestled directly on a serene intercoastal canal where many people have found it peaceful to watch the sunset. We know that this is a special and sometimes trying time for you and wish to make you as comfortable as possible with medication, amenities and our relaxed yet supportive environment.

Some twenty years back our founder was caught in the hopeless cycle of extreme narcotic addiction. When he finally kicked his monstrous habit it was in a cold generic hospital-type environment with limited narcotics and a staff that did not understand his chronic discomfort. The experience was very harsh consisting of over thirty days of sleeplessness and constant anxiety. He dreamed then of one day creating a haven where addicts and alcoholics could withdraw in comfort and avoid the kicking phenomena that he found so indescribably miserable. He felt that no addict deserved to suffer a ruthless cold turkey and Summer House is this dream realized.
The day to day operations of the facility initially were run by his dedicated mother and sister who put in great efforts to build Summer House into the world's premier detox center which attracts clients from all over the world who seek an easier, softer withdrawal. Some years later, his two brothers became involved in the endeavor making it an entire family calling.
