This place worked for me. I am rounding the corner to 2 years sober. This is the longest I have gone with out drinking since I started as a teen. If it worked so far why only 3 stars. Well I don't agree with some of their methods and policies. Many of the classes and group therapies are little more than basic. Lots of silly dealing with basic emotions, things you might teach a child, though to be honest, I'm sure many did benefit from them. I will say that some of classes that explained the technical science of addiction and how different substances affect you were extremely enlightening and very interesting and helped alot. My biggest gripe would really have to be with the forced isolation from the outside worlds and aspects of your life that they almost purposely cut you off from. Many people including my self had business issues that needed our attention and they made it almost intentionally difficult to handle even the most simple things. Though the primary goal is recovery, your outside life does not pause and wait for you to get better. I had a lease to renew for my office location, another person needed to submit a renewal for their professional license, others had to handle some things for their continued employment. We all had to wait for clearance and then were given mire minutes to handle extremely important tasks. And all countless and staff acted like it's OK for your life out there to fall apart or none of it was important and you were just engaging in some sort of addict behavior. One could say you should have all your ducks in a row before you enter but for a lot of us a month to 40 days in rehab was not something we planned like a vacation it was something that needed to happen right then and there and the outside world doesn't wait for that. I will say the facility was very nice it was a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for the most part, though the staff did cause problems with handling things on the outside they were all extremely professional and for the most part extremely helpful they just don't give a crap about what's going on in the outside and unfortunately sometimes that stuff does not wait.

This place is disgusting . Yes its nice inside , however I was physically sick and nursing staff refused to allow me to go the ED . Then finally she said I was allowed to go but only to ST . Joes hospital since they are contracted with them , I refused to go ST . Joes and chose my hospital TGH which is my patient rights . Staff told me they would sign me out AMA if I choose to go TGH. I proceeded to go to TGH my bp by EMS was 183/130 on arrival and I was escorted out literally told to leave staff brought my belongings to the door . Thank GOD I listened to my medical knowledge as upon arrival at TGH I was severely sick in which IV antibiotics had to infused followed by oral tablets. I was left sick upset and scared . All while RR kept claiming my symptoms were withdrawal but not medical . I had PID , since then they refuse to accept me back . The audacity of this place is disgusting. Money driven , the CEO cares nothing about the people, word in town people have told me of similar situations of discharging patients over minor issues.
