Great place! If you’re struggling with addiction, no place better.
I love the program and they're very good at teaching DBT. The clients in the group are just amazing people. I would have given them 5 stars but I was discharged from the program unfairly. I honestly felt like it was patient abandonment. There was a hassle about my service dog and 4 months later I was kicked out of the program under a selective criteria that wasn't consistent with the standards/client discharge with respect to the rest of the clients. It was very subjective and selective to say the least. I miss the people so much and I really needed the continued help. I was not referred to anywhere else or given a transition period. Other than this they seemed very professional.
Kristina, Rita, Garish and Scott as well as everyone else took really good care of me. I felt very supported and loved. I felt the groups are participated in met my needs.
I dearly miss the folks. I was required to leave when I lost my Medicare support.
