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.

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.

Bull crap Well first I'm calling trying to get help or resources for help only to get disconnected several times before talking with someone .. finally get a hold of someone an dude is saying 900 a day for help which Is way more I even spend in a week on the drugs I'm trying to get off of .. then he hang up on me when trying to ask a question about the number he just gave me... How do people expect addicts to get sober when the help provided is so expensive or the people helping have never experienced their own demons with drugs before themselves... You can't get the help you need to get off drugs these days... People are trying to get clean an live a better life but society an the government makes it hard an to expensive to get it done

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.
