What do we require from guests?
What type of client is best suited?
- Willing - Clients who have tried and failed, come back or are otherwise DESPERATE to do whatever it takes to get sober. Prepared to adhere to the aftercare plan and follow the direction of their counsellors and hear suggestions from their successful housemates.
- Honest - You can’t bullshit a bullshitter. Skookum guests need to practice rigorous honesty…especially with themselves
- Open Minded - It’s not a requirement, but the most successful Skookum House guests are the ones who are open to the idea of a Higher Power and are open-minded to living a spiritual life.
- Step 1 - 100% If you aren’t an addict or an alcoholic, maybe you should be looking elsewhere?
