    So I'm currently a patient at Mount Sinai and I've never been to a rehab as worste as this one…read more First of all I came in hearing all these wonderful things about it. When I get here it's a whole mess they were renovating the lodges and making the woman do so much work and having us run all over the place. Then we finally get settled and the whole structure of the sober living has changed woman on one side the men on the other no Co-Ed groups which is not a big deal till your sitting in the same room with the same people and not having multiple groups to pick from, so I've completely gone into a depressive state to where I do not want to go to meetings or get up out of my bed anymore. And you would think since that's happening someone like your therapist would come and check on you and see what we could do about it. But no... instead I over hear a conversation with Sam (my freaking therapist) and another worker that works here (but she's been great don't want to include her) on speaker phone as I'm waiting to get my discharge papers signed. So I over hear the conversation where she is completely trashing some woman from my process group including myself. Mind you I already have bad trust issues and I don't really talk much because of it. I don't trust people at all because of the situations my addiction has put me in. I have severe PTSD. So these situations has not only brought out trauma it has completely made my time here miserable and my recovery to be put in a stand still. Sam has now accused me of lying and said I've made it up. When I don't even talk to people so why would I just bring this to people's attention if it's not true causing my social anxiety to be crazy. And not to forget to mention that every one on one I've had with Sam has never been helpful all she talks about is what I'm going to do after here, nothing about what's going on in my life or past traumas which we agreed to go through when I first got here. I WILL NOT BE CALLED A LIAR AND HAVE SOMEONE TWO FACED START TO BLAME ME FOR THERE ACTIONS! You're supposed to trust your therapist!! This whole experience has not made me any better. If anything it's made my cravings higher than ever. Maybe if things were like they used to be and how I've heard them to be before my experience would have been a lot better. I went to a rehab called "The Bluff" before this one a-little while back and I had a terrific time there. The staff really cared I was actually talking in groups and diving head first into my recovery. And now seeing the difference i feel like I've wasted my time and money at Mount Sinai. Would never recommend this place to anyone! And that's crazy because I used to work in recovery and send clients of mine here for detox and now I know I would never do that again. It's a very TOXIC environment. But if you chose to go here I wish you the best!

    Problems from day 1! Lost my urine, mixed my dirty clothes with clean ones, etc. Their store price…read moregouges! Food is good sometimes. Eating area smells like poop. Not enough snacks, milk, or ice. Need another machine for both. Got sick, they dont care if you spread it. Had to hunt a pen down because they have none apparently. Only 1 TV & make detox patients wait until 5pm like the rest to watch it. Wouldn't give me any psyche meds at first until I threatened to leave! 1 week in & meds still not right. Tried to do a transfer & they keep trying to talk me out of it & refuse to cooperate. Tried to put me (a disabled veteran) on the street instead, to walk home, a 3 hour drive! This place is primarily addiction treatment. They sent some punk (director of admissions) to threaten to kick me out for no good reason! Asking me if I am schizophrenic...but they know how to deal with vets, they say. BS!!! Clinical director is full of it. Was told it was dual diagnosis but its not primarily mental health. Which is what I need! You have to walk around looking for staff or wait hours. Most staff are nice & care. Too much bible talk in groups though! HIPPA PRIVACY LAWS BEING VIOLATED HERE! Place is NOT SAFE/needs security! Another corporate one that just wants your money! Which is proven by them taking too many people in while understaffed. & they don't tell ya this but don't leave AMA or you'll be walking home, from all/any of them. Terrible experience overall with care & all.

    I don't normally write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience with Serenity Grove…read morebecause it left a lasting impact--just not in the way I had hoped. I came to Serenity Grove at a very low point in my life, looking for real help, understanding, and compassion. What I got instead was a cold, impersonal environment that failed to meet even the basic expectations of support and care. From the beginning, I felt like I was being processed, not truly heard. The staff rarely showed genuine concern, and I often felt like I was just another name on a list rather than a person going through something real. There was no meaningful emotional support. No one sat down with me in a way that made me feel safe or understood. When I faltered--and let's be honest, everyone in recovery is going to stumble--it felt like they were waiting for me to fail. Instead of being met with compassion or an effort to help me get back on my feet, I was terminated. Just like that. No attempt to talk it through, no conversation about next steps, no plan for how to continue healing. And to make it worse, they blocked my number afterward. Completely cut me off. That kind of rejection--especially from a place that claims to be about healing and growth--is not just unprofessional, it's cruel. Places like Serenity Grove are supposed to be about helping people, not discarding them the moment they show signs of struggle. Recovery isn't linear, and people deserve grace and support when they're going through the hardest parts. My experience left me feeling more abandoned and defeated than when I walked in. If you're considering Serenity Grove, I would strongly encourage you to look elsewhere--somewhere that actually follows through on the values they advertise. What they did to me wasn't right, and I hope they take a serious look at how they treat people who come to them in need.

    From the owner: Serenity Grove is an addiction treatment center located in Athens, Georgia. At our facility, we…read moreoffer all levels of care, from drug and alcohol detox residential treatment to outpatient treatment. Through individual and group therapy sessions, we help our clients work through the underlying causes of addiction. Trauma, co-occurring mental health issues, and other factors can be addressed through evidence-based addiction treatment therapies. We treat each client that walks through our doors with compassion, care, and understanding to help build a strong foundation for lasting recovery from addiction. Life is too short to lose one more day to addiction. Take the first step today.

They…read morehelp foster personal connections and growth in their group setting, while also helping each individual learn how to best manage their sobriety. The virtual IOP option makes the treatment more convenient, but does not lessen the effectiveness. Reed, Krista and their team have been an absolute God send to me and my family. I could not recommend this place any more. Ten stars!!

    I have been involved in a couple of different approaches to recovery - I can truly say that…read moreCentered's approach has easily been the best and most effective for me. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the ideas and teachings I have learned here have been life changing. Unlike other (e.g. 12 step) approaches to recovery that teach the individual to view themselves as an addict, the curriculum that Reed and team have put together focus on the underlying processes and mechanics that are at the root of all addictions. A surprisingly little amount of time is actually spent talking about addiction directly, because the program is more broad and provides clients with a holistic new way of being in the world. Recovery from addiction is a natural secondary effect from this learning, but clients can expect to see meaningful improvements in nearly every aspect of their lives on their path to a life of greater peace and ease. The curriculum draws from numerous sources and is not dogmatic or limited by orthodoxy. Meditation, mindfulness, and a better understanding of one's true "self" stand out as cornerstones of the approach at Centered. I recommend Centered, without caveat, to anyone struggling with addiction, behavioral challenges, or mental health issues.
