I only stayed about 2 days—I knew early on I didn’t want to be there for 28. A lot of the guys were on parole or probation or had been in and out of prison, which just wasn’t the right environment for me. The facility is outdated and really boring—no activities, not even a TV room. The only entertainment is occasional movie time on a projector. At least you can go outside during the day. Also, 8–10 men per room is ridiculous. Most rehabs have 2 per room. It’s hard to sleep with all the noise—people talking after lights out, ... read more

While this facility has definitely helped people, it was not the right place for me. Cons: SUD counciling was subpar. The counselors all seemed to be good caring people but their program is fairly lax. No baseline across all counciling. Each one essentially has their own program. Dorm rooms that sleep up to eleven people. So no privacy, which is difficult when dealing with anxiety and stress. Btw, keep as many of your possessions you can locked up. Theft is an issue. Food was edible at best. Not to knock the kitchen staff. T... read more
