The groups provided helped me understand that addiction is a battle of the mind. it provided me with knowlege about cognitive disorder and how to implement healthy coping skills. Therepy was great! Amanda D was compasionate and proffessional. She provided a safe non-judgmental space that allowed me to think through my emotions and past hurts with sutle promts. Casemanagement- Jerilynn was my advocate and got things done! One this that this program is lacking is a solid alumi program. I discharged September 1, 2021 and have yet to be contacted or infomaed of any events or even just a check in. This is crutial in maintaining relationships with those we recovered with. We need that accountability and encouragement!

GBOnly out for money I will never recommend anyone to go to this network of addiction treatment centers. My loved one called a center in the Houston area for treatment. A person in a call center "screened" them and then transferred them to a "counselor." This person tried convincing my loved one to take a month off of work and fly to Windward Way in California. After we expressed concerns about the cost and distance from my loved one's family and support, this person still tried convincing my loved one to sign a promissory note to the center. This means that they were trying to get my loved one to go into DEBT towards the center and to take FMLA in order to go! This was even after we explained that finances were a huge trigger and source of stress for my loved one, and they would not accept letting my loved one explore the treatment center in Houston. We had to end the call and they still spammed us with calls until we blocked them. These centers are only out for money and do not care about the people or their treatment.

GBWindward way was the right place at the right time. Windward way was the right place at the right time for me. Recovery isn't easy but if you follow the guidance you are given and the tools to use, your chances for success increase a lot. Like anything, you gotta want it. Shout out to Monica, thank you! 6 months sober , what a difference!

GBI would have given Windward 5 stars but… I would have given Windward 5 stars but for the lack of information I would receive from my case worker. I felt like I had to chase him down to find out what was next for me only to find out that decisions were being made for me based on my insurance rather than my needs and wants.
