GBBig 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.
client for 50 days.
GBClose 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.

GBDetox 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.

GBTerrible 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.

GBwould 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.
