Bad Recovery experience During my stay at recovery village, my diabetes became the focus and not my recovery. The medical director felt that she could manage my diabetes than me under the direction of my diabetic physician. It got to the point where I couldn't even give myself my insulin in an appropriate fashion. As a type 1 diabetic, this is very upsetting. In addition, some of the "therapists" I felt performed their duties in an inappropriate manner. Putting patients on the spot, using patients to trigger or get someone to "open up" when they were hurting that person. All and all I would never refer anyone to this facility. I feel that medically, I shouldn't have been put in the position I was, where I couldn't consult with my physician, and whenever my doctors office called to help consult about my situation they were "refused". In summation, I do not feel like I "recovered" here. I was simply in a bubble where I couldn't drink.

Horrible place! There for more than eight different things I was told in order to get me down there. None of them ended up being true. For example, there was a five-star chef. That was not true. I was told I would see my therapist 4 times a week. That was not true. I was told we would have yoga and massages. That was not true. I was told we would have Equine Therapy. That was also not true and the list goes on. They say that in order to persuade people to get there, and it is deceitful. We were locked in when its already tough enough to be sober, and the medical and clinical staff are sub par. There was a boy who overdosed and died in the treatment center while we were there in treatment and it was a horrible experience. I understand that treatment centers are also a business, but this one is a perfect example. It is simply about the money and they don't care. There are a few that therapist there who do care but overall I would recommend going somewhere else.

Billing and intake a horrible experience Intake was an awful experience. Florida agent assured that we had a bed available and we arrived to a full institution. Also, agent did not inform us that she wouldn't be admitted if blood alcohol level exceeded a certain level so they sent us to hospital for detoxification.

would never recommend this facility Rebecca who checked me in was the only staff member that seemed to care. She was so nice and informative. Once I entered into the detox center I could not believe the attitudes of the employees. I was just there for a five day detox. We had meditation twice. The rest of the time you just did whatever you wanted, sleep, walk around or go out and smoke. No structure was so ever. The food was disgusting. I resorted to eating pbj sandwiches for dinner . The breakfasts were uneatable and the only good thing at lunch was a salad. I will never recommend this facility to anyone. They just want your money and don't pay any attention to your addiction or try to help you to recovery.

Go elsewhere. Co-ed not controlled. Husband woke up the first night with the roommate hand up his leg. He was terrified. He was uncomfortable that female nurses check him in with all 'pockets' checked. Too many smoke breaks. Should offer nicotine therapy instead. Massages given if you can afford them. A couple of very good clinicians. To me this facility focuses more in keeping a clean appearance than their 'clients' as patients are called. Inappropriate co-ed contact was reported on field trip while my loved one was there.
