I am not convinced – I was very disappointed in Dr. Rose. She wasnt there for the intake of my brother, at the promised time. When she did see him, she told him 'you are in really bad shape". While she was talking to him (five minutes, max), she had a walk in that wanted to tour the place, and off like a rocket she went. I personally helped him with a urine sample, which looked like black coffee. I would think that any doctor would have reacted to this red flag. But no, he had some fruit at dinner and had a heart attack the ... read more

Worked for me! – I got out of 6 months of custody in jail and was at LJC the following morning. The life I was leading was taking me down fast & hard. I entered LJC, followed direction, had tough times, had good times. Worked through some problems and probably created some too. I was there to work on my recovery and did just that. It was no "vacation" or "Holiday". (For me or the staff.) They helped me build a solid foundation for dealing with life without drugs/alcohol. That was over 4 years ago. Life still has ups & downs ... read more

Saved My Life & My Family – I spent 6 month at LJC. If wasnt for Dr. Rose offering affordable rehab I couldnt have afforded to stay as long as I needed to truely recover. I was a chronic relapser who did everything they told me in AA but still continued to relapse. It wasnt until I met Dr. Rose that I was able to tuely face my fears in life and learn tools on how to cope. I am an extremly sensative soul. I didnt know how to walk through pain & suffering. LJC taught me about sitting still with my feelings good, bad and awful.... read more

Snake Oil – LJC is a farce. Dr. Rose is more interested in the money and notoriety than in helping people. She is rarely available and has barely trained staff running the place. This includes family members who really don't want to be there and are rude to the residents. She advertises treating co-occuring diagnosis' but there is no psychiatrist available.....it is a skeleton of a rehab...made to look like things are happening but they are really not. Some 12 step meetings are farmed out to the community and residents are t... read more

no service took money – Dr. Rose turned into an evil uncaring person as soon as she had the $8000.00 Before Mike arrived she was so caring and called many times in one day. As soon as she had the money Mike could not see her. She was always on the phone and gave Mike no attentionl. She has no staff, no detox, no counseling and no one in the center to speak of. She said had counseling several times a day., After one week of being egnored Mike decided to leave to get some help. She gave nothing of what she promised. She said s... read more

Thank you again, Dr. Rose – To me, Life's Journey Center stands for Love, Joy and Commitment. I celebrated 2 years of sobriety on Monday. My new life started at LJC.

LJC WORKED FOR ME – This is a message for Debra100, maybe if you would have participated more in your treatment instead of acting like you knew it all and tried to save other people when you didn't even know how to save yourself, it would have worked for you. It sounds like you thrive off of negativity and had a bad attitude toward Dr. Rose and her staff. You might think of checking yourself into a couple more rehabs after you get out of the current one because it sounds like you need a lot more attention for your problems. ... read more
