Drug Rehab Centers in Williamsburg, Virginia

From the moment I arrived at Farley Center, I felt welcomed and cared for. The staff were friendly and helpful during my entire stay. There was such a healing community presence and left not only with tools needed for recovery but many new friendships.

While nobody wakes up wanting to go to a mental health hospital, specially on a TDO (temporary detention order), I must say The Pavilion turned out to be a God sent for my son! My son had 2 TDOs in Florida and after 3 days would check himself out. Thankfully, this last time it happened in Virginia and the system was different. In other words, he wasn't going to get released just because he wanted to. On the contrary, he was kept in the hospital until he got well. After 18 days, I finally had a conversation with my son and heard him as the son I knew and know he is in my heart. He had not been like this in 4 years. It would not have happened without the support of the staff in the Pavilion- the Case Workers: Tonya and Kamryn and the nurses in unit 400. Tonya and Kamryn were my lifeline to him being released successfully and at the right time, making sure I communicated with them to let them know what my son was like when he was healthy- this was crucial! These ladies love what they do and it shows. It is not easy to reach them, but have them on speed dial, because eventually you'll reach them. NOTE: The process overall can be VERY frustrating, especially because my son didn't sign the ROI (release of information) right away and nobody would tell me anything, and although that was VERY difficult to understand, especially because I was so far away, I continued to insist and call multiple times a day. At the end of the day, I was fighting for my son and his rights to get healthy. I personally traveled to the Pavilion from South Florida and confirmed it was a beautiful place, well kept with kind staff. It is not perfect and I'm sure they have a lot to work on, but the result? A son who went back to his baseline, who is in touch with his true self and a family that is more than grateful to finally have a chance to support him and love him back to the best version of himself. If your family member is here, my advice is this: 1) Be ready to call as many times as needed, to as many extensions as needed until someone hears you (they are busy doing the work and are not always available). You will be frustrated at times, but breath and keep going. Try to email as well. 2) Insist on requesting your family member signs the ROI- things got MUCH easier after that. 3) Visit your family member (ask for visiting hours and days)- I feel like when there is a familiar face, the staff begins to know who you are and they communicate more with you. 4) When you speak to your family member, tell him/her to cooperate and give them the names of the Case Worker so they can know who to turn to for help. Lastly, whoever you are and wherever you are, I pray God will give you and your family member a breakthrough. Don't lose hope and don't lose faith.
