I did not understand that I was being "admitted" to their day program. This 1.5 hour conversation is now being charged to me as $3150 as they are out of network and my insurance only permits $260 for an intake. I have proof of the charge and texts of my repeated request to not go ahead until I had info from my insurance. I was asked why I was so concerned about insurance. I told them that other places had misled me so I needed to be cautious. And even with me saying this, they did an intake and charged my insurance without me understanding this. Contact me at acorn99@comcast.net if you need any more info. I am filing a formal complaint with my insurance and with other state/federal services that protect people with mental health challenges from being financially exploited. Their billing department has been calling me nonstop. I have been told that they voided their claim about a month ago, but no one will send me any proof of this and my insurance has no record of a request to void the claim. They prey on people who are struggling and they obviously knew what they were doing, which was going against my clearly expressed concerns about understanding my insurance coverage before proceeding.

We only realized that when we started receiving multiple co-pay bills from them for the same session, under the different names of our family members who attended the session. Tried to contact them by phone, email, web form, but no response. Why they are still in business is beyond me....

A few weeks later we met another parent who had the unpleasant experience of being condescendingly spoken to at Sameen. Only after our son left Sameen did we find out that they also criticized several decisions we made as parents in front of not only our son but also his group. This is not helpful or supportive behavior...and we paid for this. If you are looking for help we would highly recommend the ARMS program at Mass General where they are very helpful, supportive and understanding to not only the young adult in trouble but also the parents who love, care and are desperate to get help for their children.

Sometimes you need context to understand the content of this program. Is it nicer than most…read morefacilities? Yes. Do they offer flatscreen televisions in the room? It's actually two. Do the tv's function correctly? That depends. Do you get a set of temu wireless headphones? Are they configured to your room? That's a leap of faith. Do you receive three meals a day prepared by a dedicated staff? Yes. Are the beds spacious? Surprisingly so. Are the rooms cleaned daily by a dutiful third party? That's a definite yes. Turn down service if you're paying attention in the afternoon and they are quietly dedicated to removing an almost insurmountable amount of detritus. The kitchen and the cleaning staff are the backbone of Hillside. Will you be able to use your beloved cellphone? Last I heard this was still in place. Do I think it's necessary for people on a detox unit to have access to the outside world? Your mileage may vary. Is the staff caring? For the most part. Are there some people who seem to just exist? In my head there are. Do you form a bond with people who overlap your 28 to 32 days in recovery? If you're human and doing it correctly you try. Mostly though you realize that almost everyone is going to fall and that day trips outside of the protective walls are mostly fantasy. This applies to all facilities and programs. It's like Verizon telling you they'll give you a new phone for free and you'll save money doing it. That's not how profitable businesses work. Does Hillside occasionally catch lightning in a bottle? Yep. When it happens four out of five dentists will say you're fucking nuts, but it does actually happen. Well how about the nursing staff? Let's put it this way. I would let any of them borrow my truck for the weekend and bank on the fact that it comes back clean and with a topped off tank. Follow the golden rule and you'll be able to figure out the rest. Most of their days are filled with unending lines and acute muscle memory. If they look like they're in an another place they're probably dreaming about a beach without people. They are some of the nicest, most professional people I have had the privilege to meet and they come from all walks of life. Now we get to the staff. People who work the floor can vary widely. Some of them you immediately gravitate towards and some of them you keep at arms length. The overnight shift is the most underrated group because they're trying to make sure people are sleeping without waking them. If you happen to catch them with their eyes closed there's generally someone nearby taking a rotation. It's teamwork out of necessity and most of them are either dedicated to the program or younger kids trying to work two jobs. The clinical staff and those who run regularly scheduled weekly groups are hit or miss. This is where content and context are relevant. If you're relating to the individual then you are in luck. I don't care if it's meeting based, rehab pottery or you're listening to that one peculiar weirdo who loves PowerPoint and the brain. If you're learning something it's relevant, if you're enjoying something it's relevant and if you're relating to something it's therapeutic. I won't single out any particular weekly meeting that I think is unnecessary, even the "Hunger Games" meeting where everyone puts forth a wishlist of various items is lowkey hilarious. I have had three very specific requests during my time there. Raisins (no one eats raisins), skinny pop (because I'm fancy) and hand soap in the men's residential bathroom. I don't know if this is gender specific, but body wash and hand soap are not one and the same. I'm currently 0-3, but I will be taking notes when I come back for a commitment meeting. Sorry ladies, boys are gross. I'm still surprised no one else has noticed this. If you've made it this far you're either one of ten current users who turn to Yelp! when seeking out information or you're Tyreek. I'm definitely not spelling that correctly, but here is your honest, no rush assessment of the program and the staff. Feel free to copy and paste. Would I send a loved one here? Yeah, but it still comes down to context and content. I have eternal gratitude for Hillside. It's not perfect, it's occasionally held together by gumption and duct tape and the second elevator might as well be turned into a "safe space for people who love out of order people movers" but at the end of the day they make it work and that has nothing to do with the amenities and everything to do with the spirit of the program.

I had a very, very positive experience at Hillside Alcohol & Drug Detox. One thing that really…read morestood out to me was how person-centered the program felt. The staff treated clients like human beings instead of just another number, which made a huge difference in the overall environment and recovery experience. Unlike many facilities that create unnecessary barriers, Hillside has taken steps to remove some of them. Allowing clients to keep access to personal items such as cell phones and laptops helped maintain connection with family, responsibilities, and outside support systems. I also appreciated that service animals were allowed, recognizing the important role they can play in emotional support and recovery. At the same time, I understand that access to electronics may not be helpful for everyone during the recovery process and could potentially become a distraction for some individuals. However, I appreciated that Hillside approached this in a balanced and individualized way rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Another thing I appreciated was the continued support after discharge. Since leaving Hillside, staff have reached out to check in and ask how things have been going since leaving the facility. They also have aftercare coordinators who help connect individuals with additional recovery supports and programs that may fit their needs, such as IOP, PHP, outpatient services, and other recovery resources. I am also happy to report that since leaving Hillside, I have remained on a positive path in my recovery journey and have not found the need to pick up a drink. Having a supportive and respectful environment during those early stages truly made a difference for me. Overall, the atmosphere felt compassionate, respectful, and focused on person-centered care, meeting individuals where they are at within their recovery journey. That humanizing approach can make a major impact for someone taking the difficult first steps toward recovery. 10/10

I just started my experience with this place so I will come back and update if I learn anything…read moremore but here are my thoughts. First, I was a little shocked that it's possible for a place to ask for a membership fee in order to see their clinicians. However, I just spent 6 months on a wait list somewhere else only to finally get matched with a therapist I really disliked. At thrive, I was actually able to make an appointment with someone the same day that I called! This was huge because honestly I was starting to feel like I was never going to find a therapist. Second thing that is interesting about this place is that you have an assigned care coordinator who actually follows up with you to make sure you like your therapist and that you don't need anything else. This is super cool because I actually reached out to someone at the other non-thrive location I previously was at asking a bunch of questions about if I could change therapists or if I could request a different kind of therapy and never was able to get an answer. Third, I really like my provider. He communicates so well, is available by email and text as well as zoom and FaceTime, and responds quickly. I feel as though he actually cares about me. TLDR/Summary- Despite the price tag, this place was able to connect me to a therapist immediately and the therapy experience is really easy and accessible. Considering other options like Talkspace and Betterhelp charge much more than Thrives membership fee I believe this is so worth the money.
