I was scared to send her but it's been the best decision for our difficult situation. Don't read too much into the negative reviews, the kids don't like that they have rules to follow which is why they are there and they don't like the way things are done but it's tough love. Are things as perfect as we'd like? No, we still have struggles but our kid is diagnosed and on the proper meds. If what's being taught in the house they live in (world views of those working there) don't line up with your personal values, don't be afraid to speak up. Because of our feeling so lost and desperate, we were too afraid to say anything. I finally said what I thought and I said my kid wasn't allowed to participate, I sure wish I'd have said it sooner! When you are all out of options and completely exhausted, send your kid, it'll be OK. We had 10 years of therapists and I wish I could take Alex with us!

Aaron 1 year ago I was blessed to be able to come to St Gregory Recovery Center for help with alcohol addiction.  I am over one year sober now thanks to the caring and knowledgeable staff.

I felt the need to write a review because I have noticed a significant change in the way patients are being treated and it is amazing to see that they are no longer putting a focus on punitive ideology and instead are listening to the reason for the trouble they are having. It is very refreshing to see. I also have a Human Services degree and a focus on getting my CADC certification so I can help people who are now going through what I spent years of my life trying to get past. I have seen a shift from the status quo and punishment for cannabis related issues. Which is also a big reason I am able to cope with PTSD and not even think about taking another painkiller for my own reasons.

Our Instructor, Kristen Steele, went above and beyond in every class. She was not only knowledgeable but also approachable, making sure that everyone felt comfortable and understood the material. Kristen shared a lot of valuable information that wasn't just about completing a requirement, but about really learning how alcohol can impact our lives and how to make better choices moving forward.
I also had a substance abuse evaluation with Felicia Chumley, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is one of the kindest, most attentive people I've met in this process. Felicia made feel completely comfortable from the start, which really helped me open up and be honest about my situation. Felicia made what could have been a stressful experience into something positive and encouraging.
