How to Build a Rehab
How to Build a Rehab
Understanding the impacts of addiction - and Peter Lyndon-James detailed blueprint for holistic rehabilitation
Peter’s third book - How to Build a Rehab, offers a detailed insight into the steps he took to create a self-funded, holistic rehabilitation centre from the ground up. Utilizing 26 years of experience as a criminal, ward of the state and prisoner, Peter intimately explores the mechanics of rehabilitating a person that suffers from addiction and faces a community and institutions that rely on an earnest, but outdated approach to a problem that is only getting worse.
With his unapologetic approach, Peter deconstructs the decade long process through which he built the largest, self-funded rehab in the country. Free from the traditional mindset, the construction of the Shalom House method shows how valuable a new set of eyes can be on an old problem.
Along with anecdotes of Peter’s life as a criminal, drug dealer and prisoner, How to Build a Rehab sheds light on the inner workings of Shalom House. Peter lays out a literal manual for building a successful, inclusive and self-funded rehabilitation centre that navigates issues of debt, family dysfunction and self-discipline in the life of a resident in a holistic way. As Peter can often be heard to say;
“Methamphetamine is the evilest drug to ever hit the planet”
With the meth epidemic in Australia showing no signs of abating, Peter’s insight into an alternative approach to rehabilitation is a ‘must read’ for anyone suffering from the impacts of addiction - and certainly an important book for anyone looking for positive change in the way things have always been done.
