Non-Medical Model Program

Parisi House on the Hill recognizes that alcohol and other drug problems extend far beyond the illness of the individual to include society at large. The “family disease” of alcoholism/drug abuse is reciprocal in an intricate and not always obvious manner; both the individual and the community are victims. Recovery, therefore, goes beyond the recovery of the individual to include the recovery of the family and the community.
