    DO NOT GO TO RIVER OAKS IN RIVERVIEW IF YOU WANT LEGITIMATE HELP!! DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES! I was qualified over the phone about a year ago to go to River Oaks in Riverview, paid over 1K for room and board, drove 4 hours to Tampa, went through the admission process, and on the last step the admissions nurse told me I shouldn't be there, trampled over any vulnerability I had and basically kicked me out. I was told they were going to send me to a psychiatric facility because I wasn't safe enough to leave and there are protocols. Well in less than 20 minutes my paperwork was thrown out and I was driving on the interstate panicking on the phone with my therapist. Keep in mind it's now after dark and I'm driving 4 more hours in the middle of the night panicking. Thank God for my therapist on the phone. They didn't even have a mental health professional on staff to evaluate or do anything so I was literally held for hours and then thrown out within a couple minutes. Keep in mind I voluntarily checked myself into this facility after my therapist recommended I go. I was addicted to meth among other things at one point. I did the hard work and checked myself into a hospital two years ago. But when I started relapsing, I told my therapist and was recommended rehab. Because there weren't "strong enough" drugs in my system when I got there I was thrown out, despite the pill use that week. The few hours I was held there I realized that facilities like River Oaks would only do more harm and cause more trauma to any person that is actually seeking help. The staff can say or do whatever they like behind closed doors and there's no one keeping them accountable, at least in my situation. It's sad because my sister sent me a news article about River oaks where there were over 400 phone calls to 911 in that facility in 2 years. I feel awful for the people that were actually forced to stay there and underwent the abuse and trauma. In my few hours I was bullied, gaslighted, lied to and more (the nurse made it sound like I wouldn't be getting my money back and smirked as I began to panic, because the money belonged to my dad not me). Really wish there was a good way to screen the "professionals" who are supposed to be helping people at their lowest most vulnerable point, not trample on these broken people's emotions with a smile. And the worst part is, you can't even get a name of the staff member there were no name tags and she wouldn't give it. I do know the nurse who told me it was her first day couldn't even look at me. I was just crying because I wanted to go home and was told I would be forced to go to another facility (which was another lie that panicked me). I'm not mad or upset, but awareness needs to be raised for toxic/traumatic facilities such as this one. I'm a year sober from the hard stuff, I quit weed last year and nicotine over Christmas. I'm the best I've ever been, but it's just so sad to see the abuse that goes on in facilities like those.

    currently a resident here at river oaks and the whole experience has been honestly impressive. the food is great, the staff is extremely friendly. everyone feels like a family here. constant support from clients and staff. the nursing team is some of the most compassionate people i have ever met. i am very grateful i chose to come here.

    When I got to River Oaks it was to get to the heart of my trauma, ptsd and anxiety. What I learned was that my self medicating was a secondary symptom of the trauma. I gained a wealth of knowledge from therapists to doctors, nurses and BHT's teaching, protecting and encouraging me all along the way. I was able to heal my trauma and learn about the reasons, (psychological, genealogical and environmental) we end up self medicating our pain. Luckily I had discernment to know that I was tired of being sick and tired and needed support. If you're done isolating, self-medicating and feeling like a failure, call the AAC hotline. It was the best decision I've made in a long time. Thanks to God, & River Oaks for my being 42 days clean & sober.. "It works if you work it, you're worth it so work it!"

    This was at 500 days sober!

    See all
