Choosing a residential treatment program is difficult because you can only base your assessment on a website, random reviews, your experience with admissions, and your gut. If you have personal referrals, that is helpful, but not necessarily reflective of the experience your teen will have. Here is my honest assessment of the Chesapeake facility, which I chose among several options because I consistently had the best experience with the admissions team at Sandstone.

I do not recommend this facility at all. As an individual who chose this facility with the goal of getting sober, I was deeply disappointed by the treatment I received. I experienced unprofessionalism, degradation, bullying, harassment, and even assault during my stay.

There was constant fighting, arguing, and even staff gossiping about y... read more

I really wanted to love this facility. Initially I did love this facility. My daughter was inpatient for 8 weeks at a facility near home, and after fighting with the insurance company for 6 weeks they finally found her medically approved for residential treatment. The customer service reps that do the questionnaires were very attentive and super nice. It was explained to me that this facility was primarily mental health with a secondary of substance abuse. Exactly what my daughter needed. They said they do not do 12 steps, ... read more
