Welcome To The Quinn House

Instead of a more traditional program that treats addiction as a disease, we  adhere to the belief that addiction is a choice-based disorder.  In other words, if you continually make the same choices, they eventually become part of your automatic or habitual behavior. The key word here is choice. Webster defines “choice” as the act of selecting; the power of choosing or that you have options. We can’t deny that alcohol and drugs affect the mind, body, and spirit. Once addicted you must address all three. 

I recently had a discussion with one of our past guests. We talked about how his life had turned around since he left the Quinn House and the role we had played in his new found success. I was quite taken by the excitement in his voice, as he explained the difference in his new attitude. He stated that he had received more than just a second chance.  

He had been through treatment before, believing that was enough, but now he realized the need to focus and implement the principles he had  learned. He said that this time he truly understands what recovery is all about. He has changed the way he thinks, feels and responds to things and has put his life's priorities in order. “Life” he said, “is Difficult, but Life is Good”

We  are so thankful for the great people at Associated Credit Union, due to the unfortunate state of the economy and rising costs, we have struggled to fully fund many of our outreach programs.
