Count on Our Success
Randy and Debbie Ross founded Blu By the Sea because of problems they encountered and the research they conducted while trying to help their own son. One of the main problems Randy and Debbie found was that the typical 28 day twelve-step alcohol treatment program is woefully inadequate. The couple established that the success rate associated with the short-term programs was dismal at best. They also discovered that when the person suffering from alcohol addiction did not positively respond to the twelve-step program, then the program administrators would simply blame the person with the problem. Randy and Debbie knew there had to be a better way.
