After eating nothing but turkey sandwiches in the ER i was greeted and quickly given a plate of Shrimp tacos and i knew i arrived at the right place. Marcus (the chef) is a truly amazing cook. I hold every staff member dear to my heart and it would take too long to list why i love each one. The Pax House family is filled with beautiful people. The program that they teach is solid and easy to digest and i am very hopeful in my recovery because of what i was taught. My frequent sessions with my amazing counselor Molly gave me alot of insight to the recovery program and myself as well. I learned alot, had tons of laughs, felt loved and cared for, made great relationships, and was given ALL of the tools to live a sober life. Coming here was one of the best decisions of my entire life and while I am currently residing in their sober living I miss the house because of all the wonderful memories ive made. You can learn to live again and have alot of fun doing it. I will be eternally grateful to Pax. - Housty

I had to send my dad back here because he relapsed after my brother was killed by a drunk driver…read more It's ironic that my brother was taken by the same disease that my dad is battling. I was skeptical about sending my father back because of the other reviews. When we readmitted, I was amazed to see the remodeling that had taken place. The place was beautiful! I was impressed to see that the doctor is now a psychiatrist specializing in addiction. My father was able to finally get his medication stabilized and he's a different person now. I'm not sure what the program director does, but he's actually a MD OMG! @Paul & Linda... How can this place be out for money when they are clearly investing money in the staff and program? You guys seem upset about not getting your way and it's not fair to smear this place over a personal vendetta. We had a LMFT as our family therapist and she was great! She helped us through the grief process with losing my brother. On most days, I still feel sad about losing him, but thanks to ASAP Rehab I am able to move past the grief. Kenneth allowed my father to stay for free because my dad's insurance would only pay for 15 days. My father stayed for six months this time and we never saw a bill. Thank you Kenneth for being so kind and taking care of our family. We would not be here today if it were not for your kindness. I don't care what anyone says, Kenneth you're an amazing man with a lot on your shoulders. Please don't let anyone take away from what you do.

On a positive note, I managed to get clean during my time there and only had one hiccup in the sober living that I had to find. We've created a Facebook group where alumni support and keep up with each other, which has been a big help. However, the program itself left much to be desired. It's a 90-day program, but they didn't assist me in transitioning to sober living afterward. The leadership was secretive and often raised suspicions. Overall, my experience wasn't a good one.

I've been debating whether to post this review for a while, but I think it's time I do…read more The worst treatment center I've ever been to. I had money on my card the entire time, yet my caseworker never took the time to sign a slip to withdraw it and put it on my account. She also failed to arrange a trip to procurement so I could get clothes, even though all my leggings and personal clothing were taken away upon admission. It got so bad that other patients were gifting me clothes to wear because I had none--entirely due to my caseworker Kylie's neglect. Overall, I felt completely unadvocated for and as though my caseworker had a genuine disdain for me. I've been to several treatment centers throughout my life, and this was by far the worst. They kicked me out for telling my roommate "I'm not the one" after a heated argument ensued. They already knew tensions between us were building, and she had been repeatedly targeting me by running to the program office, even while I was severely sick with a stomach flu that put me in the hospital. I wasn't the one who went to the office to report her either, because I don't believe in dragging others down or tattling to make life in a treatment center easier. That's bad karma, and sure enough, that same patient eventually had everyone turn on her when my friend returned there later to try to get help. When I was told I was being terminated, the caseworker's supervisor claimed that "I'm not the one" meant "I'm going to f*** you up." That is not what it means. In my context, it meant "I'm not someone you want to mess with"--a statement of boundaries, not a direct threat. But by that point, I was so over the place that I didn't even argue. I was done and ready to go. After I was kicked out, Kylie made it a point to call and inform my father, clearly hoping to make my life harder. This was especially telling because every other time my dad had called during my stay, she never returned his calls. It was obvious she was reaching out to try to create turmoil between me and my family--but it completely backfired. Instead, my dad was fully on my side and ended up chewing her out, giving her the opposite of what she was hoping for. They couldn't even relay my insurance information to the hospital, despite billing my insurance for treatment. It wasn't until I received an almost $9,000 bill and had to call to straighten it out myself that I decided to finally post this review due to their incompetence. This place is about business, not truly helping people. If they were, they would have advocated for me and made my stay more manageable. Many of the women there are cliquish, and if you're into tattling to conform to the program, you'll probably survive. But if you're unwilling to compromise your morals and values by becoming a snitch, it will be a very difficult environment. There is also clear favoritism. I will give them credit that some of the staff were genuinely cool, but the ones truly in charge were not.

Casa gave me the strongest foundation I could have ever asked for. This place saved my life…read more Walking back into Casa grounds makes me feel like I'm walking home again. Being there is like being hooked to an oxygen tank and can breath again. I could never say a bad thing about this place. The friends I've made while there are still my friends today. The staff & all the women there genuinely care about you, love you & teach you how to be a lady. Casa loved me & continues to love me until I can one day love myself. The women's meeting on Thursday night is by far the most energetic, meaningful, hopeful & strengthening meeting I have ever went to. The solution is conveyed there. I learned more about myself at Casa then I ever have anywhere else. Casa will always be home. Once a Casa girl always a Casa girl.

I wanted to leave a quick review about my experience trying to get admitted here. I was referred by…read moreKaiser and had been playing phone tag with a representative named Laura. We both missed each other's calls a few times. Her last call to me was Thursday, and I returned the call Tuesday. When I called, Laura immediately told me in a very condescending and dismissive tone that "that was a long time ago" and that I needed to contact Kaiser again. I completely understand if a new referral was required, and I can acknowledge that I could have called back sooner. My issue is not the policy it's the way I was spoken to. This is a recovery center. The people calling are often already struggling, hesitant, or trying to get themselves to accept help. A little compassion goes a long way. I've dealt with another treatment center where the staff were patient, welcoming, and persistent about helping someone get into treatment, so the difference was immediately noticeable. I had read several reviews describing staff as rude or condescending before calling, and unfortunately my interaction made me understand exactly what those reviewers were talking about. Based on the number of similar reviews, I'm not particularly confident this feedback will be taken into consideration. Some of the responses and experiences described honestly come across to me as more defensive than receptive to criticism. If you've had or end up having a great experience here, I genuinely hope that continues. I can only speak about my interaction, but when someone is reaching out for help with recovery, they should not be made to feel like an inconvenience for calling back. This interaction alone was enough to turn me away and look elsewhere.

When a loved one was admitted to Gooden Center, the entire family was scared, uncertain, and worried about the quality of care and whether we could trust in their promise of wellness. After 30 days at Gooden, we couldn't be more thankful for the results we saw!! We were so appreciative of the entire staff (who are truly REMARKABLE!!) that we opted for an additional 60 days of care in the PHP and IOP programs. The entire family cannot express how blown away by the care and concern for our loved one. Special thanks to Eddie (an amazing therapist in the PHP program), Candace (a case worker who is an angel on earth!), and Paul (who facilitated our first family therapy session and helped us communicate better). I wish I could say it a thousand times over, but for now, these four small words must suffice: THANK YOU GOODEN CENTER.
