Disclaimer: I have never been a resident of this location. However, I have had a professional meeting and tour of this location as a potential place to refer patients to in my line of work.
It's location is nestled in the center of a residential neighborhood. It has the feel of summer camp rather than an institution. Very welcoming.
I met with Lyndsay Jackson, Administrative Director and Benjamin Cox, Admissions Coordinator. Both were very passionate about the work they do and clearly love what they do. (Have you been to an establishment where the staff clearly hate their jobs? Then you know how important this point is.)
They provide both short term and long-term programs for men and women. In addition they have a program for veterans. While participants are in treatment, they will be able to earn their GED, become peer support certified and have lots of other educational opportunities. Educational tracks are customized to each individual.
One of the things I love the most about this program is that they allow medically assisted treatment for those that require that for their individual recovery path. (no methadone, however)
Another wonderful thing I learned about this program is that they support all religions/beliefs and transport to three different churches on Sunday. Inclusion and mutual respect are important for a population that has suffered so much societal division and stigma due to substance use. read more
