My experience with Amen Clinics was very lackluster. Unless you have quite a bit of disposable…read moreincome, your time and resources would be better utilized elsewhere. Their testing and diagnosis provided absolutely no new information, or anything particularly useful given my medical history. Any findings were confirmatory and already known prior to contacting them. I was told that they offer a different approach to traditional healthcare, yet saw zero evidence of that. In terms of any recommendations that were made, they were all treatment options that I was aware of prior to contacting them. Additionally, none of the treatment options are covered by medical insurance and would have to be paid out of pocket. The only somewhat useful aspect from this entire experience was making a couple of tweaks regarding my supplementation. Nothing game changing, but there was a bit of optimization. I definitely regret putting time and energy into this place and have been much better served leveraging traditional healthcare. Sadly this is coming from a person that is not a proponent of western medicine, and one that actively seeks a holistic approach whenever possible.

My experience at Zen Recovery Path was life changing. It provided an environment and infrastructure…read morethat allowed me to shed my addictions and learn to trust myself. The staff is gentle and compassionate, the daily activities range from Qi Gong, music therapy, lessons in eastern medicine, art therapy and art processing, mens group/women's group, meditation and more. On top of that, you get private therapy, weekly massages (I highly recommend these as they are optional) and you can request EMDR therapy which helped me heal a whole range of traumas I had collected over a lifetime. I enjoyed Reiki sessions, occasional field trips to buddhist temples, art museums, and nature hikes, and enjoyed jamming in the barn on the piano (there are drums and guitars as well). They set you up in sober living as well, which is a great environment to make friends and get used to life without substance. It took a while for me to find the bliss, the first month was rough, as I was so anxious and stressed out without substances to escape reality. But as I learned to cope, I began to flourish. I have great respect for the staff, especially Mat, the CEO and founder, who is present daily and leads many great classes on a range of subjects. Some of my favorites were a review of "Game's People Play" and an in-depth look at Transactional Analysis, as well as exploring the "Hero's Journey". I was hesitant to go at first but after seeing my friend flourishing from his experience, I decided to give it a try. I planned on staying for 30 days but ended up enjoying a 4 month stay at Zen. I would recommend this place to friends, family, and anyone who wants to heal themselves from the self harm that comes with substance use. If you decide to go, be patient with yourself and the program for the first few days. It's very difficult to enter sobriety and to enter a new environment with strangers. Eventually you will begin to get to know people and you will get accustomed to how the program operates. Zen gives you breathing room, it can be laissez-faire at times, allowing you to keep your phone and offering freedom to explore the area. You are given consistent substance tests which keep you accountable. I hope anyone considering Zen will give it a try. I also suggest going the extra mile and taking advantage of the various extra services they offer. Good luck!

My child went to newport inpatient Chandler house and it was the worst experience. My child was…read morehaving issues soiling herself and I was told before she went that they would be able to help and that it would most likely happen within the first week she was there and they would tackle it. After I dropped her off, I expressed my concern that I thought it had happened again that day and I was told that they wouldn't be checking as they didn't want to embarrass her. The kids do their own laundry and the adults at the house only provide help with changing and washing sheets (my child doesn't soil herself through multiple layers of clothing), so right away up front I was extremly disappointed, like I had been punched in the gut. They can't help her if they aren't addressing the issues. Nothing was resolved, and the stress of getting insurance authorizations every week, added to the stress of her being out of state for mental health. The plan was for her to be there 6 - 8 weeks and half way in, insurance denied any further stay, so I had to fly out urgently to go pick her up, or be charged $2000 a day if I couldn't get there within the time frame. My child didn't receive the letters or birthday cards sent by her grandparents or great grandma, there were 9 pieces of mail/cards returned to us, only after I questioned them about it after she got home and was missing a birthday card from my mom. We were promised we would only be charged $500, max, paid it, then a month later, got another $500 bill. I really got the impression they didn't care about helping my child, who lived a life of trauma and neglect before being placed in our home at 10 years old. I was desperate for her to get help after other failed attempts and this place took full advantage of us. Not to mention, they wouldn't give me her chart notes after she was discharged so I could have a better understanding of what she's dealing with. Arlene (the director) promised me she would call me and do a walk through of the facility with me, that never happened. They set us up to fly in before the facility my child was staying at was staffed, so I had to drop her off at a different facility she wasn't going to be sleeping at. She was by herself for the first few days. I wouldn't have agreed to that before getting my flight set up for a Saturday. After the flight was set up, I received a call asking if I wanted to come at a later date, on Monday, but I couldn't cause I didn't have time to clear it through work on a Friday night. They stated they had equine therapy but that only involves looking/petting the horses, no riding, and there weren't any horses at the house my child was staying at. They didn't even offer the equine therapy for the first 2 - 3 weeks cause the lady was out on paternity leave. Another disappointment. The whole experience was awful and having to grab a flight last minute ($$$$) to fly to another state to pick up my child after insurance denied her ongoing stay urked me - that was not explained to us prior to her going. They said she would be there for 6 - 8 weeks, so that's what we were expecting. My child doesn't act out like other kids cause she internalizes everything and they didn't catch onto that - they didn't think she needed help, but they were who encouraged me to send her saying they could help. My child also reads the room well and responds accordingly pretty damn well. Says what she thinks people want to hear. I have high suspicion my child was sexually assaulted (i explained this to them) and they didn't even touch that subject - which has been the ongoing elephant in the room for us. At the end of her stay, while packing up, an employee told her that she couldn't pack her hygene products I sent with her (something about plane regulations - and her multiple bags were NOT carry on, they had to be checked). Newport required all NEW products be sent and specific ingredients weren't allowed, so I spent $130 on new shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, lotion, sunscreen, toothpaste and other listed items on the packing sheet, and nothing came home with her. Another huge waste of money. Newport failed us on every level. Please don't send your kid there, if i could give zero stars for this review I would. Don't believe the hype in your desperate need for help, cause they don't offer any solutions there, just more added stress.
