Sunrise House Foundation

"Three things I cannot escape: the eye of God, the voice of conscience, the stroke of death. In company, guard your tongue. In your family, guard your temper. When alone guard your thoughts."

Recovery Today

Active addiction does not exist in a vacuum-it thrives in an complex environment which includes co-occurring biological and psychological disorders, related behavioral addictions, high risk behaviors, dysfunctional relationships, maladaptive life skills and severely damaged life histories. It is the philosophy of Sunrise House Foundation that being “CLEAN AND SOBER” begins through the development of healthy relationships in the context of a safe, supportive and secure structured setting. It is the philosophy of Sunrise House Foundation that being “CLEAN AND SOBER” begins through the development of healthy relationships in the context of a safe, supportive and secure structured setting. Guided by the principles and traditions of 12 STEP RECOVERY anchored in medical/social research, engaging the alcoholic/addict in the interactive group and individual processes of care provides the vehicle. The compulsion to continue the use of alcohol and other psychoactive substances is powerful-willpower alone is no match for compulsion. Therefore, if the substance dependent person is to enter recovery, he/she must be brought into the experience of treatment that is rooted in respect, compassion, discipline, structure, kindness and hope by skilled professionals. Recovery is a dynamic process that requires active and continuous investment. 12 Step work with clinical/counseling therapeutic modalities creates a powerful synergy and leading to self-discovery and understanding that is SOBRIETY.
