Council on Alcohol and Substance Abuse

Poor counseling services- to me the most important part-Someone I love went there, they went in because of going into a drug induced psychosis, the counselor told the patient if they think the hallucinations happened then it happened. What a counselor says to a client is crucial. Did they gather the facts and look at the police report and talk to the family? The client thought the police were fake and thought someone was in my house that was not there hiding in a 6 interior wall. An innocent family was targeted. I am extremely upset because the person is still struggling with this episode and believing it happened. This ruined my family and we were together for 10 years with a child. I feel the counselor did not help work the client through the incident nor get family or me involved in which family and I were all there that night to see the mania. I personally almost was injured. My house was flipped upside down. My boyfriend broke into a house in which he would have never done sober. He assaulted a family in-front of their kids. Again he would have never did this sober. Hours before this I called his family because he was ripping out insulation out of the walls. They came over told him he was okay and left. I knew something bad was about to happen as I felt it in my gut. He has had previous episodes of hallucinations where he thought he could fly, and he jumped off a porch and fell to the ground. He also went into a loop before where he kept saying I have a lighter. He then said that we should rob a bank and we can do whatever we want to do. This was years ago . Sometimes when he uses he is fine others not so much. Client relapsed after getting out of this facility and facing some serious jail time. I am extremely upset with the counselor as client wasn t helped at all with this situation. I lost a man to this incident because he thinks it was real. I m exhausted I can t take defending myself and going over this a million times anymore.

A 28 year old family member transitioned here after 6 weeks sober. After 3 weeks, he was Administratively discharged without provision of prophylactic meds, resources, transportation, etc. Dumped at local DSS. Prior to discharge, the Resident asked his Counselor to speak directly to me on the phone. The Counselor's response was, "Let me check your file to see if there is permission." I found this lack of education/understanding troubling and difficult. There was no reprimand, write ups, sanctions, prior to outright discharge for the minor program infraction prompting discharge. These Providers may be "nice", but are poorly trained and unprofessional!

I have a relative that's received treatment here, and in my brief run-ins with the staff they've been absolutely incredible. They are extremely kind and genuinely care about the people they provide an unparalleled support system to.If you are struggling with addiction, mental health, or anything else like that, these people should absolutely be your first stop.
