Most alcoholics refuse to get into a retreat center to be treated because most of them have overly expensive costs and utilize demeaning approaches that degrade the people’s dignity. John Curtiss took note of this alarming situation and has decided to take action. In this episode, he joins Fr. Jim Swarthout to share how he provides a more personalized, humane, and affordable treatment of alcoholics through his retreat center in Wayzata. John explains how they effectively integrate the 12-step recovery process in their treatments to guide people toward complete healing. He also discusses how they monitor their “guests” once they are out of the retreat center to help them reduce the chances of relapsing.
