Our house manager, Scarlet, is also truly involved in my recovery and I appreciate it. I highly recommend any service run by this owner. I have lived in Oxford houses, houses owned by rehabs, and this is by far the best.

My 76-year-old father was a resident at Ignite Medical Resort-Round Rock for 10 days before he…read moresuddenly and unexpectedly died overnight while in their care. I will not address the overall quality of care he received during his stay in this review. What I will address is what happened afterward -- or more accurately, what did not happen. At 1:30 a.m. on the morning of his death, I received a phone call from a constable, not from Ignite staff. The constable informed me that there had been a "pretty serious medical emergency" and that my father had been found unresponsive sometime between midnight and 12:30 a.m. He stated that staff had called 911 and that paramedics pronounced my father deceased around 1:00 a.m. I was in shock and did not know what questions to ask at that moment. It has now been three weeks since my father's death, and I have not heard from a single Ignite employee -- not a nurse, not a manager, not a care coordinator, not anyone. No one has contacted me to explain what happened. No one has offered condolences. No one has acknowledged that my father died while in their care. To be clear, I am not alleging that Ignite caused my father's death. However, the complete absence of communication is deeply disturbing and unacceptable. The expectation was recovery -- not death in the middle of the night with no explanation afterward. Why did no unit manager, social worker, or director of nursing contact me as the primary contact? Why was there no call explaining the sequence of events? A simple, humane conversation -- "The nurse entered his room to administer his midnight medication, found him unresponsive, we immediately called 911 and initiated life-saving measures, and we are so sorry for your loss" -- never happened. Instead, I am left to imagine what MAY have occurred. For a family who entrusted this facility with their loved one's care, that silence is unfathomable.

And to be honest i hated every second of it but i was addict and didn't know my ass from my elbow. I was just a lost 18 year old stuck in Texas. But looking back this place taught me more lessons than the 18 years before that. It taught me how to take care of the person next to me whilst still working to better myself, taught me that life has fun things to do when your sober. From being alone to with 12 other guys. I learned how to just live in the moment. I was and still kinda am just a quiet kid who doesnt want to talk about feelings to anyone but sh*t ive learned its normal to have emotions. You may hate this place every second your their but one day you'll understand

You might want to look at the 14 other reviews that did not receive a "star" designation which follow the 3 that are shown (see link at the bottom). That said..... Our son completed the in-patient 90 day program at Spearhead a month ago and is now at their sober living facility. I could not be more pleases with the program and the attention he received at Spearhead. I am a moderately critical individual and was very impressed with their competency, thoroughness and dedication to doing their very best to help each person achieve sobriety. They work to give each person the tools to manage their future struggles with addiction and become independent healthy young men. The treatment format is partly a peer group situation. Spearhead so effectively uses the strength of group influence to achieve personal accountability and understanding of addictive behaviors. The staff definitely took time to understand and work with my son individually based on his traits and personality. My particular appreciation goes to Cory, his main counselor. During the monthly weekend visits to Spearhead, a good amount of time is dedicated to educating the loved-one of the afflicted on the necessary skills and actions going forward to help the total family unit achieve long term recovery. The meaning of the phrase "long term family recovery' may not be clear but a family who fully takes advantage of this experience will certainly understand after going through the program. Spearhead provides very helpful information for all involved in the quest to successful defeat the grip of addiction. It is a total package. The families we have become acquainted with through our association with Spearhead, are also quite complimentary. Some have been at this for years, involved with a number of programs and rate Spearhead the best. Overall I am very pleased and appreciative that we found Spearhead, after looking at several other programs. Addiction is a tricky and cruel animal. I have no allusion that the future will be easy going forward for my son and our family. Whatever the future may hold, I know the people at Spearhead have done their very best to help my son overcome his addictions. I will be forever grateful. I highly recommend Spearhead Lodge if you are looking for a very solid addiction treatment program.

Mom has been here for a week and a half, and she's doing VERY well. The ONLY complaint I've had at…read moreall is sometimes I've come in and her dinner is there, but she doesn't know how to raise her bed up so she's sort of lying there unable to eat. I know they only take people who are able to feed themselves (she is), so the kitchen staff may not think about it when they drop off their trays. I've mentioned it to the nurse, so hopefully that will be remedied. Mom has made so much progress...it's really amazing for someone her age who has been through hell. I'm very impressed with this place generally...everyone is very kind. If I had it to do over I would probably hire a sitter to help with mealtimes, but the confusion is wearing off and she'll be home soon...just a few more days. Thank you, Rapid Discovery!

I could not have made it through without my family and friend's support. I also attribute my success to the staff and my piers. My piers were so much a part as well in my success. I gathered so many "nuggets" several times each day that I wrote in my journal. They gave me a great witness that I do not take for granted. Ms. Kerry was my counselor, always very supportive. She has a God-given gift and I am blessed to have had her share it with me. I miss everyone! May you all stay on the road less traveled. Blessings to you all and the Cenikor staff,
