Not the best money can buy There are far worse places to be, I will not say I regret going here. If you need to go to treatment for legal reasons this place is perfect. Their "therapists," are mostly students, and their mood greatly impacts how they interact with you. Some of the directors at this location are also pharm reps, and if the one of the directors is required to lead a group session, they will be sure to let you know how beneath them it is to do so, I believe one woman named Courtney mentioned this when she introduced herself before leading a group session. They will keep you as long as possible to try to get as much money from your insurance as possible. I do have to say that the staff that you interact with daily, they are called behavioral techs, are actually really helpful, and most of the techs are in recovery as well, of course with many years of clean time. Oh, and I'm pretty sure my credit card information was taken by one of the staff members while they had it locked away in their "safe." Definitely protect your personal information if you plan on seeking treatment here.

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.

Terrible therapy Terrible therapy. Not 12 step base. Barely CBT. Not DBT. Trauma Therapist tells clinical director everything about patient's session then patient immediately discharged for bogus reasons. Like finical even though patient willing to be a self pay. Patients' rooms horrible. Hospital beds in each room and no televisions. Worst alcoholic and mental health treatment facility.

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.

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.
