Last September my wife and a group of friends had an intervention and they sent me here for 45 days. At first I was reluctant becuase it was longer than other rehab centers, in a different state, and expensive. I fear if I hadn't gone to the Meadows, perhaps I might have stopped gambling for a while, but I wouldn't have been forced to deal with childhood issues that were at the core of my depression and addiction. The staff were fantastic and sympathetic, AND they didn't take any crap, or allow me to be defensive, or manipulative, or hide in a corner and refuse to deal with my issues. It was tough love and, as an addict who is really good at dodging reality, it was exactly what I needed. When I read all the reviews, I was scared to go becuase of the sheer number of bad reviews, but after having spent six weeks there, the only explanation I have for the bad reviews is that some people hadn't hit rock bottom yet. Just like we chant in our 12-step meetings, "it works if you work it." It's really as simple as that. Most things in life are, right? If you're truly ready to be ushered out of your darkness and pain, this is THE place for you. But the work doesn't stop after leaving The Meadows. I stepped down into an IOP three times a week, weekly therapy, weekly couples' therapy, and my 12-step meetings. As they told me when I left, recovery is a part-time job, and they were right. I'll be an addict for life, and I'm okay with that, but I won't be depressed for life. I learned the skills to accept myself for who I am, and to assume the best of others. At the end of the day, we're all just doing the best we can. Sadly, though, that's often not good enough when we're in the clutches of depression and/or addiction. So, if you need a lifeline, call The Meadows. Cade N.

I was planning to attend The Meadows for trauma and PTSD. They wanted everything to go fast which…read moredoesn't help a traumatized brain. After a couple days of knowing I was going to attend the 45 day program, I decided to read the reviews with my family and they did NOT want me to attend the facility due to all the absolute 1 star negative reviews from those who actually attended. We immediately canceled my intake. The reason why I'm leaving a 1 star review is because even though we communicated this to them here came countless calls from them now spamming us. So are you there to help people or try to convince them to attend your facility because you want our money. The communication is so bad that 2 days later AFTER cancel - we receive a Docusign for me to sign to attend The Meadows and for payment. How can admissions be so bad? They created unnecessary extra stress and heightened our already heightened anxiety because they kept calling and calling. I finally had to email all staff to STOP contacting me and my son. I lost my 14 year old daughter and the fact that they were reaching out to my son his lost his only sibling is disgusting and extremely unprofessional. READ THE REVIEWS. I'm attending Siera in Tucson where it has been a pleasure without anxiety working with them.

The program information was up-to-date and directly relevant to my needs.

I hope they have been able to change and reach their potential by now. After I left willowhouse I filed a report against them, through the state of Arizona government. Several months later I received a call from the government they would investigate a case. I provided several pages/documents of explaining my traumatic experience at WH. They told me they would provide a zoom call case with me and Sabrina (the director of WH), since I live out of the state of Arizona. They really wanted me to attend in person but, living out of state made it difficult. When I joined the zoom call, which turned out to be just a phone call. Sabrina was not even present and the board told me I had a 5 minute timer to try to explain my case. When I told them I had sent everything in an email, as I was told, and told them I wasn't sure what to express since this is my first time doing this. They quickly dismissed me and asked the judge his take. He immediately said "in favor of willowhouse" then the jury all agreed with him. Then they hung up on me. I was very frustrated that it seemed that the government had already made a decision without any sort of case, no explanation, and no one from willowhouse was present during the call. The whole phone call lasted just over 4 minutes. I'm sharing this to warn anyone that if you think you will have a chance to take action, after your experience at WH, it is slim to none. As the state of Arizona seems to have some benefit in favoring on this behavior and treatment. I'm very glad I didn't fly 4 hours to Arizona for this 4 minute decision, that seemed to have been made, well before the trial. As I've said in my last review, The meadows is not one to be shamed. I have had so much success, comfort, safety and joy at The Meadows of Dallas! It was honestly SHOCKING how humiliating behavior was allowed at WH compared to all the other meadows programs and facilities. Again, it's been over a year since I have been there, but this 6 week trauma cluster costing $70k, I could've received for free under a highway. This awful time has stuck with me and still upsets me that other women and myself had this disgusting treatment. And not even one apology. One more thing. When I left WH and went to the Dallas meadows program. The director and my therapist at the Dallas location, did a zoom call with me, my mother and the Dallas IOP team and the director of WH, Sabrina. On the zoom call, I confronted the treatment I received from WH, in a very respectful manner. Sabrina even agreed the treatment I received was not appropriate. We had 5 witnesses on this zoom call to approve this statement. And yet still NO remorse or consequences or compensation was given.

The men get treated significantly better than the women, and the dress code is very outdated and ludicrous. The "doctor" is of no help whatsoever, and makes very weird, uncomfortable remarks. The process of leaving is a huge pain if you aren't going exactly where they tell you, and I felt disrespected and ignored my entire stay. The food was nasty most days, and the facility itself seemed to have no maintenance or upkeep. I'm sure the meadows campus is better, but the Claudia Black center was more like jail than a rehab.

But my therapists before and after, and SAA, are who are more responsible for my recovery. GP has young beginner therapists. Their revolving door of admissions assures a lack of depth. They will advise going to another facility afterwards for 6-20 weeks, and then taking ONE YEAR OFF WORK to concentrate on recovery. They will neglect to mention this beforehand. They will also not mention that the price is negotiable. Don't pay more than 70% of whatever they ask. Their older therapists are stuck in the dated Carnes/Mellody model which blames the unaware spouse for many of the addict's problems. This makes Family Week a nightmare. I'd give it a B. The Gold Standard needs more than a polish.

They also took my government based insurance which no one else would. The staff for the most part were helpful and attentive. My therapist and dietitian changed my life and really helped me work through some deep core issues. I loved being out in the desert away from "real life" and distractions. They took things case by case and catered my treatment just to me and my needs. Their treatment model really worked for me as Ive been to two other centers and did not have the same experience. Their alumni support program is also stellar and unlike any other treatment center in the US. I'd recommend Rosewood to family or friends in heartbeat. I left a totally different person and wouldn't be alive if it was not for Rosewood and my team of professionals. I gave it 4 stars, because there obviously some things that were challenging such as medical staffing issues, but I know they were always at work to trying to change that. Grateful for a second chance at life.

So, I went to rosewood 10 years ago. I was 12. Unfortunately i developed an unhealthy anorexia…read moredisorder. I drove through Wickenburg today and decided to look up reviews, and honestly am disappointed but not surprised to see that the staff / management / treatment is pretty much the same! & Honestly it inspired me to share part of my experience because honestly i have shared part of my story with so many people, and its not because they were great its because their treatment methods were CRAZY. i will start out saying, going to an inpatient program saved my life i think. but i dont know if its because of rosewood.... i know someone who went to a different place after relapse shortly after and said they had a better experience OKAY here we go. So when i got admitted, i was ready to "give up" id say, so when i arrived in the afternoon and dinner came. I ate. & then when i found out especially that if you dont finish your meal you have to drink a disgusting shake that everyone that had to drink & hated and felt sick after drinking. Shortly after arriving, like a few days, a gal was put in a wheelchair. not because she needed it, because apparently she walked around too much, as they would call pacing. Another gal that i know, with a binge disorder, was given a basket with her favorite snacks to carry around for days, she could eat it whenever she wanted but she had a goal to "eat some but not too much". I saw someone else review saying the exact same thing happened to them! & Me, after a bit got accused of being a "perfect patient"? basically accusing me of faking it so i can get out. So i literally made up a lie saying i felt restless and was pacing so they gave me jingle bells to put around my ankles. I quickly regretted it because whenever i moved my legs, i jingled. Also wasnt supposed to take them off in the shower. I stuffed them in my socks once to stop the noise and got corrected... The experience that probably hit me the most was on halloween, which i was there during. they put out a few buckets of candy in the living room we all hung out in, and said take if you want its optional! I decided not to because if you have ever had an eating disorder youd get it, i dont want that. I enjoy candy all the time now. But the Dietician i remember came in that day, and demanded i eat a candy. I so desperately did not want to especially because i thought it was optional! I always ate all my meals anyways. She then made me eat it, while everyone at the dining table stared at me. I remember crying. It was a dramatic scene over a piece of candy for sure, but i was 12. There was another problem, but honestly i would rather not talk about that for everyone to see but all ill say is i already hated drinking water and still do to this day, so i dont know if they still make everyone drink a full 32 oz water bottle before each meal, but id chug it to get it over with then multiple different times had to pee after meals, but couldnt because of their rule of not being able to use it 30 mins after eating (even though they made level 1s go to the bathroom with the door basically open and someone right there if they hear u throwing up which i didnt even wanna do i just wanted potty) One last thing, even though i could probably even note more, they had a level system which went up to 3 or 4 i dont remember but as i said earlier they accused me of being "too perfect" but i somehow never went up past level 2 and they literally excluded people from activities based on level. I wanted to do Yoga dammit. Anyways, if you made it this far all ill say is continue your research when looking for ED centers.... Rosewood seems to still be giving people crazy experiences!
