Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your discomfort during your stay and regret that you felt unsupported in that moment. Your experience is important to us, and we want to clarify the steps we have in place to protect both safety and comfort.
While ginger ale is not part of the standard beverages we provide, clients may bring in approved drinks such as ginger ale, Gatorade, or Ensure to support their individual needs during detox. For stomach upset, we offer daily soup options, broth upon request, and medical support including anti-nausea medications when needed. These measures are in place to ensure clients have access to safe, appropriate care while also maintaining our food safety protocols.
Regarding your concern about staff sharing personal items between clients, our policy does not allow the exchange of property or food between participants. This is not about lack of compassion but about maintaining healthy boundaries and preventing potential safety or contamination risks.
We are glad to hear that you had positive interactions with several of our staff members, and we will continue to reinforce with our team the importance of timely, compassionate communication. We sincerely hope your next experience in treatment provides you with the comfort and care you deserve.
Sincerely,
Urban Recovery

Levels of Care
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function.

Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
