  Detoxification is necessary prior to admission, and no one is admitted unless he has been alcohol and/or drug free for at least three to five days (depending on usage, further detoxing may be necessary). As we are a total abstinent drug/alcohol program, we do not allow methadone and/or any other narcotic-based maintenance chemicals in our program.

Once detoxed, the client must read our rules and regulations (please contact us for a copy). The client must be willing to adhere to these policies, rules and guidelines as outlined by Surfside Recovery House

The client must then contact us to set up an appointment for an interview. During this interview, we will discuss personal history, funding arrangements and answer any questions regarding our program. After funding arrangements have been confirmed, then Surfside staff will contact the client to arrange an entry date  

Our Community Care License requires that all clients have a confirmed medical and TB (tuburculosis) test prior to entry and that we have a copy of this confirmation for our files. A medical exam is strongly suggested. We do NOT have medical staff on site, therefore, any medical issues WILL need to be under control, and attended to, prior to entry

We believe that it is important to immerse the client in the program as soon as possible in the first two weeks, therefore, a client WILL refrain from outside contact and issues with friends/family unless there is an emergency

Admissions will be up to 11:00 a.m. Monday though Friday, unless special circumstances are involved and have been pre-approved by the Administration staff. Night and weekend staff will NOT be able to help with admissions, at which point, you will be asked to contact the Administration staff during the day

The guidelines for residents are set down to provide a positive learning environment for the program, as well as, a pleasant and harmonious living situation during their stay. All potential clients MUST be willing to abide by these guidelines and MUST meet all of our criteria. The Managing Director does have the right to refuse admission to any person they deem to be not suitable for our program
