    I want to be clear..I'm not speaking on behalf of any employee, resident, or family member. I'm…read morespeaking solely from my own experience and what I know to be true. The East Texas Treatment Facility goes above and beyond to create opportunities for residents to succeed. However, success here like anywhere else depends on the individual's willingness to put in the work. If they don't, they will fail. This program is a valuable alternative to serving years in prison and should be taken seriously. Is the facility perfect? No, but no place is. What stands out are the continued improvements being made with the residents' well-being in mind. There are numerous initiatives available for those willing to invest their time and effort. To those former residents who call this place a "joke," I'd say this: if you didn't engage with the program or take advantage of what was offered, the only joke is how seriously you took your recovery. Likewise, this facility invests in its employees. Negative reviews from staff are disappointing, especially when they come from individuals who clearly aren't invested in personal growth. If you're unhappy and unwilling to contribute to positive change, then you won't be able to help the residents you're meant to support. In that case, it may be time to seek opportunities elsewhere. I encourage everyone to do their own research. Visit their Facebook page to see the many positive things happening at the facility--I've even shared photos from there. While the program isn't without flaws, I strongly believe it deserves a more balanced and fair assessment than it's currently receiving.

    This is a review for when your loved one leaves this facility and goes to a half-way house. My son…read morewent to the half-way house in Corpus Christi Texas. He got one phone call to let me know that he was there. He had no money to use the payphone. He used a roommate cell phone to call me. The roomate agreed to let me sent money to him. My son never got the money. The facility threw my son out when he confronted the roomate. They did not do any investigation. The police who came to get my son was also notified; they did not do any investigation. I filed a report with Corecivic. The half-way house told Corecivic that no cell phones are allowed at their facility. Please call the half-way house when your loved one goes there and find out what are their rules and regulations. I don't want anyone to go through what I am going through.

    Doesn't look like much from the outside, and thats because it's not. Meals were served promptly…read more However, there are endless opportunities as far as the menu is concerned. The meals are repetitive and often lack any kind of diversity or flavor. The staff are hit-and-miss. Definitely could use some training to improve the customer experience. I didn't feel as if the customer was right at all. And what's worse... the staff knew it. The environment overall was less than peaceful. Getting enough rest or finding quiet time to read was a constant struggle. The beds were very uncomfortable and I didn't get the support that I'm used to. Think of sleeping on a hard surface with a blanket for a mattress. The amenities were reasonable. The television has a nice selection of channels and the acoustics provide a surround sound experience. The shower had excellent water pressure and was always a comfortable temperature. Transportation from the establishment is rough yet punctual. Words like confining or shackling come to mind. Audio is controlled by the driver, and they are terrible dj's. Overall I would NOT recommend this for a stay.

    i dont know about the jail. i do my best to stay out of there. BUT as far as help smith county has…read moresome of the best deputies in texas! naming one-Trekobe Washington! he rocks! long boring story, but lets say he helped me from having a break down over being scammed. he went above and beyond, and was never anything but amazingly polite. now days everyone complains and downgrades the police-until they need them of course! thank you for all of your help deputy Washington! you are a BIG TEXAS good guy!
