I have been here for roughly 2 months and there are good and bad things about the place. --------------------- As for the negative things: Administration is really REALLY judgemental. Especially towards addicts. They restrict visitation if you are prescribed any form of M.A.T. (Medicated Asisted Treatment) — even if you're there to rehabilitate from major injuries. They also like to make up rules as they go and do not distribute the "rules" evenly towards every resident. There seems to be a lot of illicit drugs distributed between residents to other residents. Most of the residents who are involved in it are not even a part of the harm reduction group that is an out sourced agency called Stepping Stones. I will say that the counselors and the Stepping Stones supervisors genuinely seem to care about their clients and they notice that administration will often times directly target residents who are clients of the program. I have had my counselors try to advocate for me on multiple occasions to the administration about some of the restrictions that they recently started to implement towards the residents who are clients of Stepping Stones but they do not implement the same restrictions to other residents who are taking part in substance abuse or distribution– therefore, the problems end up not getting solved. Also... —BE ADVISED THAT THIS LOCATION RECENTLY BEGAN ACCEPTING *SEX OFFENDER* CLIENTS— When I first arrived here, this was not the case. However, about 2 weeks ago, I was given a written notification from the administration that a "non-violent sex offender" had been admitted to the facility. And then yesterday, I received yet another written notification that another sex offender had been admitted. They plan to continue accepting "non-violent sex offenders" for the foreseeable future as they have now cleared out an entire hallway upstairs to house them separately.... although there will not be any type of security on site AT ALL. Another extremely frustrating issue is the dietary department. Not only is most of the food not very good, they claim to offer "alternative" meals on a daily basis. (Cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, hot dogs.) However, the majority of the time if you ask for an alternative, they will just put you off and sometimes even go as far as get verbally offensive to your nurse aide who tries to advocate for you and get them to give you the alternative meal. I have even had a kitchen worker deny me the alternative right to my face yet happily give it to another resident sitting directly across from me. Lastly, do not expect to ever see the facility's head doctor in person. The entire time I have been here , I've only seen him once. And this is the doctor who is in charge of ALL the medications you are prescribed and for your genereal health during your stay there. You can ask your nurse to pass along messages to him for you... but you'll never be able to talk to him personally. ------------------------------- Now, as for the good things about the place: Even though the majority of the nurse aids are pretty lazy and put you off when you hit your call light... there are a few aids who are just absolutely fantastic!!! (Lashawna is my absolute FAVORITE nurse aid!) The counselors from the out-sourced substance abuse/harm reduction program called Stepping Stones are all just reallyyyy kind and helpful. They really make you feel like you can just be honest with them about anything — good or bad. They also make the group therapy sessions feel like a very safe space where you can share without judgment. --------------------------- As a whole, I probably wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. 🫤
