I went to The Dunes for over 3 months and it saved my life - no questions asked. I've been to…read moreseveral other rehabs - all of which are considered to be the top in the country - but The Dunes stands apart in so many ways. The second I walked into the front doors, it felt like anything was possible. And this was a far cry from the way I'd felt for years...completely and utterly hopeless. The biggest things that separate The Dunes from other treatment centers are: Holistic approach: In addition to things like DBT and relapse prevention, we learned mindfulness meditation and took part in amazingly powerful experiences like equine therapy. (Those horses will change your life!) Furthermore, they take trauma really seriously here. Their trauma specialists, Annie, is amazing. She does this super cutting edge thing called EMDR (which I think stands for "eye movement...something something")....I don't know, it's super high tech...but I was blown away by how effective my sessions were with her. It was like things or memories that I would previously never, ever mention became tolerable. They also had some amazing yoga teachers and acupuncturist that were instrumental in my treatment. Non-Punitive Environmental: A lot of people seem to think folks who wind up with drug or alcohol problems have been "bad" and need to be punished. On the contrary, people with substance abuse problems are often wonderful, gentle human beings who are self medicating the only way they know how and to eliminate a level and type of suffering most non-addicts have a hard time understanding. I literally went to a rehab in Augusta, GA just weeks before I wound up at The Dunes. It was run like a bootcamp and by the time I left their I wanted to use more than I ever had prior. This isn't a moral shortcoming that can be willed or disciplined away. It's a disease. The fact that I wasn't treated like a criminal and instead like a sick person getting well made all the difference for me personally. True One-on-One Time with Highly Experienced Staff: These guys (and gals) only have 9 beds but a staff of like 30. The amount of personal attention each patient gets its just insane. And I can't emphasize how important that is. It allows them to truly personalize the treatment plan for each patient to create the highest chance of success. They also do a really good job with aftercare planning, i.e. making sure patients' transition back into the real world is as safe and seamless as possible...something I've seen other rehabs completely overlook.

I also loved that he would have a private room and shower while staying there. My only concern was the unknown of quality care and rehab. Our social worker at the hospital assured us that Massapequa Center has had great track record for rehabbing hip replacements, so that convinced us. Let me tell you we couldn't have dreamed of a better experience. From day one, Dad was treated like royalty. His therapy sessions were fun and productive and his aides were from the nicest on Long Island. I was able to go to work and feel confident that he is being cared for and working on getting back home. Today was Dads last day. It was bitter sweet. He was thrown a party at therapy session for graduating. He walked out on his own two feet, something I wasn't sure that he would ever do again. Thank you Jamie, Liza, Richard and everyone else involved in his care. You treated him like family and we are looking forward to come and visit in the future.

If I could give his place negative stars It would…read more BEWARE -- I strongly urge families to think twice before choosing this facility. My experience with this place was extremely disappointing. In my opinion, there was a serious lack of communication, attentiveness, and accountability throughout the facility, from the bottom to the top. The few positive exceptions were three kind nurses and the physical therapists I encountered. The food was consistently unappetizing and poorly prepared. More concerning, however, was the treatment of patients who were injured or unable to walk. There were multiple occasions when a family member was left in a diaper for extended periods while sitting in a wheelchair, which I believe contributed to repeated infections. They were also left in a wheelchair next to the bed for 10+ hours at a time, unable to get back into bed independently. Her laundry always smelled like ammonia so bad that I would have to wash it on a sanitize cycle and use so much product to get the smell out. When I tried to speak to someone about it they told me it was because she recently had a UTI. That went on the entire time she was there. Her clothes would be soiled and soaked in urine when I took everything out. I requested they change to a different diaper and even said I would supply them and they said they would change the brand to another one used. That never happened. The doctor had then noticed she had lost weight, so they said they were going to give her ensure- she got it maybe every 3 days, never consistent and she always had to ask for it: if the order was put in by a doctor then why wasn't the order being followed? When we asked for help getting back into bed, we were told we had to wait until after the patient's meal, potentially for hours. We were given no reasonable explanation for why the patient could not be assisted sooner. I was also very disappointed with some of the doctors providing care at this facility. My interactions left me with serious concerns about communication and the quality of care. The interaction I had with the nursing supervisor was particularly upsetting. I found the supervisor's manner extremely rude, dismissive, and condescending when I was trying to advocate for my family member. Whenever we raised concerns, we were dismissed and spoken to in a condescending manner. We tried to speak with different levels of management and were passed on to the next person and so on. I did read reviews about this place prior and alot of other places and they all get terrible reviews but the close proximity to our homes was what was also a deciding factor. There was someone in and out of the facility every day. Whether it was for 10 minutes or hours long. Our family member did not have dementia or Alzheimer's, she knew exactly was going on, who was coming in and out of her room. Our family member developed pneumonia, and we requested labs, doctor's apps etc. She received a chest x-ray that was clear but was still ill. Fast forward 12 days when we demanded another x-ray, she was diagnosed with pneumonia. We spoke with the nurses and requested she be taken to the hospital for further care. When we raised this concern, they told us that they are doing everything they need to do that a hospital could do. The next day they transported her to the ER in the morning due to a low O2 level. They found blood clots in her lungs and double pneumonia; she died 6 hours later due to complications. The doctors at the hospital said this was not something that happened overnight. When we went to retrieve her belongings her roommate stated "i feel so bad, it was not her fault- they didnt do the right thing" After the shock of this all subsides we fully intend on doing a more in depth investigation into how everything happened and ended the way it did. I will forever be haunted by the decision to put her there, because now she's gone. I can't help but wonder if she was somewhere better if she'd still be alive. Families put their trust in healthcare facilities to provide basic dignity, safety, and compassionate care. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage anyone considering going somewhere else. Please do your research and don't place your loved on here.

Unfortunately just ended my second detox at this facility, that's all on me. Nothing but good…read morethings to say... the techs and nurses are very accommodating and friendly and I didn't feel restricted at all, aside from not having my phone, but honesty it was a nice break. My first stint was in July, and now in December the place has not been tarnished the least bit. A huge and very comfortable main common area (I dare you to not nod off, even if you're on light meds.) There's another lounge/tv area and a separate gaming area on the 2nd floor... yes there are 2 floors, the 2nd floor is where you'll find all of the rooms. Bottom line is the facility is very spacious and comfortable, so if the main thing that's giving you pause about getting clean is feeling confined, this is the place for you! The food is really good, but make sure you express your dietary restrictions up front as the menu is very heavy/fatty/salty. On top of that there's all day access to yogurt/jello/ice cream and Italian ice, as well as sandwiches from the day's lunch. The only way I would subtract any stars is if I were a cigarette smoker. The smoking area is an enclosed/covered outside deck. They have "heaters" out there but they don't do much. But good news for you vapers, you can puff away all day anywhere in the facility. Highly recommend!!

Tina Marie is empathetic thinks on her feet goes up and above to provide excellent to care. Tina Marie can find a solution and does anything she can to provide you with the most comfortable safe detox possible with a smile that lights up the room. Sephora also is an excellent nurse with patience and compassion who helped me continuously with a smile. The physician assistant Antionnette also understands the alcoholic attic dual diagnosed and understands that care is not just a cookie cutter fit every alcoholic or attic has different medical needs and yes this nursing staff sees you as the beautiful person you are. Anna is an amazing tech there who goes over and above and works diligently does her job exceptionally. As I was going to bed I looked over and three patients were just surrounding her because she is empathetic but also instills wisdom sobriety care and concern for each one that contributed to sobriety. Helen is also a five star employee she is efficient keeps her word and will take a moment just to chat to the broken hearted like me. I have attended Sunrise three times and always felt loved and cared for and could see that everyone was doing there best . Tyrone and all the techs are quite amazing. Housekeeping does their best but sometimes cannot get everything thing done because one girl on a day is not enough. Here is what saddens me something has broken at Sunrise. I as an alcoholic an attic of course am not perfect and can be hard to handle and my behavior can be inappropriate. I can tell you what my concerns are for you the next patient. During this stay I was let down many times I was told to keep my word I cannot tell you how many requests where I was told yes I'll help you and then hours would pass and nothing. I believe administration is at fault. The center takes all your toiletries and places them in a box and in the morning you ask for them to shower after a few days of someone saying yes I'll get them and then it never happens . I had no shampoo but you can get it at the desk well I did ask and there was no body wash or shampoo I had to wash my self with my sock as a wash cloth and use soap from a dispenser three times there because I could not get my needs met to take care of myself. Also the counseling staff I believe is doing the best they can but they are stretched out to the max and what I found is no team work there if you need a phone card or if you would like to drink soda or purchase cigarettes you must fill out a form and you are told they will be filled by 11. This is not true bring your unsealed cigarettes if you can because everyday except for when Jessica is handling it this never happened so you follow the rules fill out the form and then time and again the be they were not processed until three four or five and you must stay vigillant and keep asking over and over till you know you are being a nuisance but realize you must to get your order processed they used to have drivers to get u there and get you home be prepared to get yourself home. I lived in Syracuse the last time had to Uber to penn to get on the Amtrak very alone felling very vulnerable and now put in a high risk situation to drink. is very dangerous to say to someone by take care bye and be left on the curb. The administration was neglectful there are four counselors in total and if one is extremely busy and I needed help there was another just out there sitting in the vitals chair shooting the breeze while at least four patients needed something I asked this counselor to help me process something or could you help me with phone card and was told no I am not your counselor. I was very confused at my job we work as a team and if my coworker is busy I help them as best I can even though I'm not assigned to that area I can help we have the same job title I do it. Also I was neglected ignored lied to mislead asked for help with calling my eap asked for paperwork stating where I was told yes and again no follow thru I asked to call my eap rep but because I was not following theirsuggetion I was told I cannnot help you. I was then passed by ignored neglected and abused from that moment on.i asked to see counselor was told yes and it never happened. I needed to address my truth and life. I couldn't go to the rehab they wanted me to I had to go home first to prepare I was then told I can't help you when never received any paperwork was ignored from there forward and also neglected my parent was coming to get me and no one told me they just kept walking by me as I sat in filthy clothes and was refused my clean clothes and laundry detergent the administrative assistant abused her power and was dishonest st I saw counselors and administration who have lost the There way. I pray sunrise will shine again. anything is possible. I am grateful I am sober .

"Hi, my name is Edward T., and I'm an alcoholic..."…read more Never said those words. I know that according to AA orthodoxy, I'd assuredly be considered one, but in my own subjective opinion...I'm not. But my relationship to alcohol was definitely problematic, and at one low point, I did turn to AA. I was ambivalent about the inflexibility and rigidity of the AA program (the "higher power" stuff struck a wrong chord with me) and ultimately, I sought the path to sobriety within myself and from other resources. But I recognize the efficacy and value of what AA does, and I know other people that it has worked for. And even in my own admittedly limited experience with them it was helpful. The 1st drink I can remember is my father wordlessly handing me a beer as a teen on a hot summer day after I had mowed the grass. To my mind, it was an acknowledgement that if I hadn't quite achieved my "Officially a Man" status, I was on the path. My parents weren't alcoholics, but they drank. I had smoked some weed in high school, toyed with opium, and hadn't really liked them enough to pursue them. I didn't like the taste of beer, but I liked everything else about it. I became a "social drinker." It loosened me up, and if it accomplished nothing else, it made me feel good. Low point for me was when I was in my early 30s. My oldest friend's mother was dying of terminal cancer. Towards the end, my friend was at his father's house in Wayne, and he suggested we take a walk down to a pub in Packanack Lake and get a beer. One beer turned into 2. A guy was there whose brother had gone to grade school with me, and he bought us a drink. The bartender gave us vile-tasting shots. More drinks, a little jukebox. In a few hours, we were wasted. We wandered back up to his Dad's house, stopping briefly at our old junior high school (good memories for him; bad for me-- I got kicked out twice for fighting and insubordination). I had been driving my Dad's car, as my own was in the shop. Back at his father's house, his wife pulled him inside and I staggered to my Dad's car parked at the curb, fully intending to drive home. I told myself to be cool, focus, and I'd be ok. As I turned off the exit from Rt 23 onto Rt. 287, I began throwing up on myself. I thought, "Focus...you can deal with the puke later. Just get home." And then I blacked out. I drove home from Wayne to Basking Ridge in a state of black-out. The next day, in excruciating agony, I called in "sick" at work, made an attempt to clean out the vomit from Dad's car (I knew I had to tell him what had happened, and when I called him, he yelled at me like I was 10 years old again: "Boy, you never learn your lesson, do you?!?"), popped 2 Vicodin, and drove into NYC. I wasn't oblivious to the enormity of what was going on. I may have been self-destructive, but I wasn't suicidal. And I knew enough about myself to know that if I had injured or killed someone on that black-out drive home, I wouldn't have been able to live with myself. In other words, I knew I was in trouble. AA was recommended to me. My "sponsor" was a young guy (older than me) who was pretty humorless (not that there was much humor in the situation). As I remember it, he wanted me to attend 10 meetings in a row at different places and let him know how I made out. The 1st place I went to was in New Brunswick. My impression was positive. The people spoke plainly of their painful, often tragic, experiences, and their sincere objective in achieving control over the addiction that had taken over their lives. Afterwards, a young guy gave me the "Big Book," the AA "bible," published in 1939. My 2nd meeting was at a church in Harlingen. I think I picked a wrong time, as they were having a celebration of some sort. One speaker told jokes, like an alcoholic Woody Allen, and I wasn't impressed. My mood was decidedly non-celebratory. The 3rd day, I had a car accident (not alcohol related) and told my sponsor (who also was involved in Gambler's Anonymous) that I wouldn't be able to make the 3rd meeting. I never heard from him again. And I never attended another meeting. But I read the "Big Book," and, despite the fact that it was decades old, there was a timeless quality to the testimony of the people speaking in it. Their stories resonated with me-- maybe not in all the details, but it made a significant impact. My sobriety wasn't immediate, but I'm sober now, for many years. And AA was a part of that process. One drinking buddy died of a massive heart attack in his 30s. Another has stage-4 liver failure, still drinks, and has to get his stomach drained every few months. I wish they had been able to get their lives back on track. I wish they had involved themselves in AA. I passed the "Big Book" onto 1 old friend who was able to sober up after crashing into a tree and having to have his face reconstructed. He read the book, attended AA meetings, and has been sober for 11 years. AA works. At the very least, it helps.

Everyone can get support by attending the meetings. It's my experience it's easy to find a meeting near me.

Matthew and his team customize each session to my individual needs and pain levels. With other PT, it has often felt like there's a pre-built program to get me in and out of the office regardless of progress, but with Lifestyle, I've felt like each session accommodates my progress and needs. I never feel like I'm being forced through exercise I'm not ready for, and it's never a bother to focus on stretching/recovery for the session if my pain levels are higher. The staff is incredibly skilled in their approach and flexibility, which has helped me stay on track on sticking to PT each week thanks to the constant progress and change in routine. Finally, it's very reassuring that everyone is helpful, responsive, and honest with administrative/billing questions and needs. Any time I've had to reschedule, we coordinate quickly over text and email with no issues. Whenever I have questions about insurance or billing, it's answered incredibly clearly, and I'm confident that everything will get handled right. This is a huge difference from ALL of the other times I've done PT where rescheduling or questioning a bill involves tons of back and forth and dealing with a different department for up to several months.
