Surfside’s Mission, Vision and Values



Our Mission
Surfside’s supportive recovery environment disrupts the cycle of addiction and mental illness. Our unique extended care scaffolding supports men in the transition from addiction treatment to a sustainable, enjoyable life in recovery. Rooted in the 12 steps, we incorporate an array of tools and activities to help these men rebuild, rediscover and recover.
Our Objective
Surfside will teach our participants life-changing principles of honesty, accountability and action. We use measurable goals, extensive 12-step immersion, and peer support to create accountability. We also encourage participation in an array of action sports and adventure-based activities, which we believe are crucial to maintaining sobriety and continuing recovery. We believe life in recovery should be full and meaningful.

we are grateful to be highlighted by an alumni + family in patrick kennedy’s “Profiles in mental health courage”

How Surfside’s supportive environment is Different
In February of 2016, Surfside was developed to combat the misconception that life ends when sobriety begins. Getting clean and sober is far more than just trying to not use drugs and alcohol. It is a complete overhaul in the way one thinks about and participates with the world around him.
Surfside is where recovery becomes possible.
