Detox too fast. I loved most of the staff. However, I left early because I felt the detox process was too rapid. I believe I would have been successful had someone listened to me and adjusted the process accordingly. Other than that, I would recommend Palmer Lake and would like to return for treatment as I am still looking for help. The anxiety I was experiencing caused me to behave poorly and was the reason I left the facility far earlier than I should have.

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.

Big mistake Insurance denied the claim because the documentation provided did not support what was billed. I agree. All this facility cares about is money and I was charged for many services that did not occur. Non of the amenities boasted by the admission liars... were offered. The bed I was provided upon arrival had been peed on, the staff didn't care and I ended up having to flip it. I also had no clean bed sheets and was told I'd have to wait a couple days to get clean bed sheets because it was women's laundry day not men's. How is it possible that a new admission is not provided with new bed sheets.

Extremely dissatisfied I was in recovery once this year at The Recovery Village in Columbus Ohio. It went ok I had a relapse so I returned. I thought it was a place that cared and was trying to help people. But found out they care for nothing but money. I was not even threw detox when they found out my insurance would not cover it they asked me to leave immediately. They gave me no after care plan. This stay was chaotic it was understaffed. Most of staff was friendly but did not have a clue what was going on. To find out all this place does is scam insurance. extremely dissatisfied patient.

Close but not quite there... The staff was great. The facility was well maintained. The food was basically from a high school cafeteria, and they were still making budget cuts on the food so I fear what quality it is now. The therapists and the treatment offered was spot on. Unfortunately the enforcement of the rules was a complete joke. There was simply too many clients for the number of staff members there. People would do everything from "hooking up" when no-one was looking, to sneaking food and cigarettes like we were in jail. There was little to no consequence for the improper actions of the clients. They need to hire more staff to avoid these loop-holes. This should be recovery, not a bottom-line financial operation.
