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.

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.

BEWARE Advertises you can inquire about ur loved one w/immediate response - Nothing is further from the truth; voicemails never returned bcuz they don’t monitor messages, they refuse to answer a ringing phone. Administration says ‘they r not on site,’ lol, but they really are, it’s simply an excuse to get u off their back. They try to pacify moms w/a bunch of phone numbers that they themselves know do not get answered. I was so worried, I had complete ROI from my daughter, her nurse Jason spoke to me 1X in 6 days 😢. I guess the staff are just sick & tired of Addicts and can’t get jobs elsewhere, the pay must be minimum wage. Policy changed between the time I was told to send patients belongings to only pkgs from Retail stores are accepted. This place is a total cluster . Now I am told my daughter’s (patient) belongings that had arrived and never given to her will not be returned home, wow, wow, wow! This facility is as unstable as our addicted loved ones. My daughter went straight to ER after having to leave this facility.

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.
