Alcohol and Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Treatments helped me find some balance at a time when I wasn’t even sure what balance was supposed to feel like anymore. The process was mostly straightforward, and that helped, especially since I didn’t have the energy for anything complicated. The support felt genuine, though part of me stayed cautious at first, waiting for things to get overwhelming. I was treated with respect and given clear guidance, but I also had to admit to myself that staying focused wasn’t always easy. Progress came quietly and not always in ways I could measure day to day. I left feeling steadier and a bit more focused than when I arrived, even if I know I’m still figuring out my next steps. Sometimes simple, honest help is enough to get you moving again, and for me, that mattered.

Alcohol and Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Treatments has some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. From day one the staff treated me with real compassion and patience, making it easy to open up about my struggles. The counselors listened without judgment and guided me through every challenge step by step. They truly cared about my progress and celebrated each little win with me. The warmth in this place made the hardest parts of recovery feel possible. I left feeling supported, seen, and deeply thankful for the kindness that helped me heal.

Dr I saw today went over and above her job. We were coming from Cape Cod and she guided us to the clinic. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I just wish we didn't have to travel so far. But accomplished our appointment. Thank you so very much for helping a Vietnam Vet.

Been here twice first time I really needed it. My first breakdown too many things were going on and I failed with the wrong people when I used to be strong. Second one a kick butt believes and dreams. I only did they cure me alcohol but also dealing with people and how to handle the situation like I used to and lost track.

I was at Steppingstone in 1998! I had my issues with them. Plenty. But, i stuck it out, moved into a grad apartment after almost a year in the phase 1 and 2 houses and got thrown out on my ass for a positive for opiates urine. False positive. My Stepingstone Sisters all pitched in so i had the $35 (in change)for a restest.
and instead of another test they retested the same tainted sample. So i was thrown out. I have my suspucions a sto what happened but i got to see karma hand look e that! It made me even stronger. I stayed sober. And guessed where I worked for 2 years after being thrown out? Yup. Stepingstone Woman's House. The person i think was responsible for my dirty urine had gotten the boot and i gladly worked there in the office.
And, I made sure i treated every single woman with kindness, respect and compassion and i think i was well liked and respected by most. I remember Richie before he was mgr. I knew him. I knew his gif look friend at the time too. I don't know if he's there now but i saw his name mentioned. So, my point is this: Dont bite your nose off to spite your face. You're there for yourself. Sure there are some anal orafices around but who are they to you in the long run...nobody. Focus on yourself and your sobriety. Then get out and live your lives as best you can. I don't ever wanna go back to that miserable, degrading life again. Do you? I don't ever wanna live at Steppingstone or any other halfway house ever again and get pushed around and bullied at times. I will never
be told when to go to bed, when I wake up, when and where I eat I'm here to tell you that you don't have to ever again. It's up to you. Your adults. Plus i can tell you right now from reading some of these whose sober and who isn't. Don't hang with the losers. You know who they are. Good luck.

The women’s program in Fall River has helped me so much. At first I thought it was too strict with too many rules but there’s definitely a reason for all of them. Staying in the program for one year then moving to the grad house for 11 months helped me alot with getting back on a schedule and living a normal life. I will forever be grateful for this place and the awesome staff that helped me along the way.

I loved my job was there for almost 10 years as a clinician. I worked with some amazing people snd developed awesome friendships. I always had the best caseload of clientele and I miss working with them and seeing their growth. Times have changed over the years most places do wish I was still there it's a great feeling when you know you've made a difference and was able to contribute ideas and see changes be implemented.

Saved my life. Not your typical recovery house. Martha, the program director with her hand-picked staff identify with the residents because they know what we're going through. Most, if not more are graduates of the house themselves. They help you face addiction head on, accept it, cope with it so you can heal. There's something magical about the place and Gosnold would be wise to remember that. It's not uncommon for former graduates to request a visit to remember how Miller House helped them recover and stabilize their lives to become contributing members of society. This house works if you are serious about taking back your life. God bless Martha and her unrelenting staff. They never gave up on me. - Jonathan, a grateful recovering alcoholic.
I bring my grandmother from Fairhaven to this hospital because she always gets exceptional care. Found out right away she had
Pneumonia and took good care of her. Minus one ED nurse who banged her up, he should have let someone else do it to begin with. Thank you for taking good care of her!

Love this place been going for 5 years they have always treated me with nothing but respect and care.....
Not sure why people are complaining so much. I have a couple ideas as to why though. Try Brockton highpoint and figure it out. When I went to gosnold, both detox and css I was pretty amazed at how nice it was. Maybe other people that gave bad reviews had trouble with the staff or other patients. That's one of the big things in any place. Also, I'm guessing there's a lot of spoiled brats around that area that go there. I met a few spoiled brats when I was there and it's like, are you kidding me? I only went once to detox and then another time straight to css because I was sober for a couple weeks but felt the temptation getting stronger of drinking again. I had a great experience there. Both detox and css.

My view is different from most of the rest of the ratings. I went in with a plan. The staff tries as hard as they can with everything involved. My nurses were great. The new facility is great. There is one of the head RS’s named SARAH was the most helpful for me, she was OMG so super helpful. Listen this is a detox. If you have been to a few like I have my experience was good. Most of the bad reviews you see are probably from the bad eggs who were sneaking drugs.

We recently brought a family member to East Wareham CTC and were so impressed by the kindness and compassion we experienced. Everyone we interacted with was welcoming, caring, and genuinely thoughtful. It meant a lot to feel treated with such warmth and understanding. We’re very grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend East Wareham CTC!

Can't say enough good things about this place. Everyone is great.
We've had our son in a handful of rehabs, but this is the first time we feel hopeful. It's the education on addiction that is taught to not only the one suffering but the family members.The staff has shown us that they truly care about our child, and every guest in the facility.They ACTUALLY CARE what happens to one suffering, and will do everything possible to set you up with after care to have a life free of addiction. I can't thank them enough for saving my son, and educating him on how to live a better life.Yes, you can get better.
