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.

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.

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.

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.

Rehab profiteers. Pretty gross. This place might be great for people with money who don't want to interact with the hoi polloi. Poor need not apply. This doesn't necessarily mean that this place is bad, but it's definitely not in the biz of helping people. They want your money. The end.
