We Knew There Had To Be A Better Way…

Gulf Coast was founded by Randy and Debbie Ross after four unsuccessful attempts to save their own son through other programs. “After the fourth unsuccessful attempt we knew that there had to be a better way. Randy and I spent countless hours researching what worked and what didn’t work. 

We found that to consistently produce drug-free individuals the center needed to be small and that the recovery method utilize a true, hands-on, one-on-one approach throughout the entire program– not just during counseling sessions. Before opening our center, we had learned through numerous interviews with people who have attended other centers that there were several pitfalls and details that needed to be addressed.” 

Often when people attend a rehab they at first are inclined to focus on whatever negative element they can find such as the facility may be dirty, the food bad, the staff might treat them poorly, etc. We know that when students are concentrating on elements other than the program, they are not concentrating on what is important to their recovery and, consequently, are not doing the ‘real’ work it takes to get better. We eliminated the negative elements.
