The message that makes every day worth it. When we receive a message like this, it isn't just a testimonial. It’s a reminder of why we take this work so seriously.
At Tully Hill, we see miracles happen in the quiet moments between clinical work and the serenity of our campus. While we provide the space and the expertise, our patients provide the bravery required to change their lives forever.
If you’re ready to send that message to your future self, we are ready to help you get there.
January often comes with a lot of "New Year, New Me" pressure—but recovery isn't about becoming a different person, it’s about coming home to yourself. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by big resolutions, try trading "perfection" for "compassion."
Healing isn't a straight line, and it doesn't happen overnight. This week, give yourself credit for the progress you’ve already made.
Whether you are one day in or one thousand, your journey is valid. Be gentle with yourself today—you are doing the hard work. 🌿

Peace isn't found in the noise - it’s found in the breath you take right now.
We are here, and you are not alone.

Tully Hill Treatment and Recovery is dedicated to the belief that substance use disorder is a disease – chronic and progressive as defined by the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association in its 2013, 3rd edition Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (aka DSM V) . In addition and most importantly, Tully Hill believes this disease is treatable and is wholly committed to that goal. Our qualified, professional staff who total over 250 years of continuous recovery achieve that goal via the use of evidence-based treatment approaches and patient and family engagement with the 12-step philosophy.
Tully Hill’s bio-psychosocial model of treatment includes medical and nursing care, individual and group counseling, and a family program, and emphasizes teaching skills needed to attain and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Tully Hill’s treatment is guided by its values of compassion and hope, dignity and respect, safety and security, honesty and integrity, spirituality, flexibility, teamwork, and continuous quality improvement, all of which our staff embrace and use daily. Our treatment incorporates patient-and family-centered care, and our tranquil, rural setting offers a safe and peaceful environment for patients and families to begin their road to recovery and rehabilitation from alcohol and drug dependence and abuse.
Substance use disorder is an enduring, often relapsing brain disease that cause compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences to the affected individual and those around him or her. The brain changes that occur over time challenge and eventually overcome the person’s self-control and his or her capacity to resist intense impulses to seek and take drugs.
No single factor can predict whether a person will become dependent upon or abuse alcohol or other drugs. Risks for substance use disorders are influenced by a combination of factors that include individual biology, social environment, and age or stage of development. The more risk factors one has, the greater the chance that taking drugs can lead to abuse or dependency. Regarding these factors, the genes people are born with (biology factor) in combination with environmental influences account for about half of their substance use disorder vulnerability; also, gender, ethnicity, and the presence of other mental disorders may influence risk for drug abuse.
Substance use disorders are not a personal failing in any way, shape, or form, despite a significant portion of society continuing to label it as such and executing policies that punish and shame (witness our judicial and prison systems, with their extremely overloaded populations of persons with substance use disorders). And yes, society overall still refrains from talking about, accepting, and addressing substance use disorders and all the issues they encompasses, although slowly but surely there seems to be more and more awareness and discussion at all levels of our culture about it. Similar to other chronic, relapsing diseases – such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease – still too few people know that substance use disorders can be managed successfully. And as with these other diseases, relapse and using drugs again is not uncommon with substance use disorders. We do not view relapse as a treatment failure – instead, it indicates that treatment needs to be reinstated or that an alternative treatment is needed to help the affected individual recapture control and recover. Our experience with employing the 12-step philosophy is that it often generates a spirituality that evolves as an important component in remaining abstinent.
