SOLITUDENATURETIME

Complete information about how The Long Stay works, what to expect, and admission requirements.

PHILOSOPHY

SOLITUDE IS DELIBERATE

We do not believe addicts benefit from meeting other addicts.

Groups create:

Justification & Shared excuses

At The Long Stay, there is no audience and no one else to blame. Addicts are solely responsible for the position their life has reached.

THE EXPERIENCE

BOREDOM IS INTENTIONAL

There is very little to do.

No schedules · No therapy · No distractions

IMMERSED IN NATURE

NO ELECTRICITY

NO ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING

NO HOT WATER

This is not punishment, it is optimal for recovery.

“Just time, stillness, and the natural world — birdsong, trees, sunlight, and fresh air — to confront themselves.”
