Curt’s services are driven by the core belief that addiction is by its very nature an extremely difficult condition to treat effectively, and the systems that treat it well are free of cracks and pockets for addiction to escape or reside. When the center is operating at peak efficiency, goals of surrounding this insidious disease are met and addiction starts the long process of dying. Conversely, patients treated in loose systems too often do not achieve the internalization of recovery sufficient to become self-sustaining through the daily disciplines of the sober design for living. No amount of any one or two of the elements of recovery will sustain the process – all aspects must be operative.
With this in mind, Curt’s services help centers see what they may be too close to see themselves. Like recovery, one must continuously take inventory, increase the valuable and dispose of the valueless. This a favorite area of his work, as Curt loves being a part of something really good, something that winds up helping others.
