The Dunes is organized to exceed the “Best Practices” other recovery programs offer. To do so we went to Harvard University Medical School, to get Dr. Howard J. Shaffer to create our unique clinical protocols and train and advise our staff. Then, a group of very capable professional men and women were put on staff, or contracted with as formal advisors. Finally, the private estate where The Dunes is now situated was identified and transformed into the east coast’s premier addiction recovery facility.
At The Dunes we strictly limit the number of clients we will work with allowing us to maintain a staff-to-client ratio of 3 to 1. By maintaining such a favorable staff-to-client ratio, we are able to individualize Dunes recovery plans, and provide strong support and programs when the time comes for a client to leave. The Dunes team is committed to our clients achieving long term recoveries characterized by happy content lives with their families, business associates, neighbors and friends.
