If you are investing in a family member’s health, future and happiness, you need to make sure you’re choosing the right option for your Dousman alcohol and drug dependence treatment clinic. While the smartest thing to do may still be to call our hotline advisors so they can discuss your specific needs, seeing the ratings and reviews on some of the addiction rehabilitation facilities in your area is another good place to begin.
Recovery.org is owned and operated by American Addiction Centers (AAC). AAC is a leading rehabilitation provider, offering all levels of care from detox to sober living, including 9 inpatient facilities nationwide.
It is a very regimented and strict facility. Even though they promoted themselves as a "Drug and Alcohol" treatment center, the treatment centered around the treatment of alcoholism. I was a heroin addict and I was for forced to use the alcoholic treatment curriculum and "just use the word Addict in place of Alcoholic. Also, even though I had detoxed in a hospital for 6 days before entering this facility, I was still very sick. They called my need for rest "laziness" and my inability to eat solid food "anorexia". They had little to no experience with addicts, particularly heroin addicts. I became dehydrated from vomiting and diarrhea and had to be hospitalized during my treatment. I was accused of trying to get out of the chores and the exercises we had to do. They really had NO idea what to do with me and definitely no clue how to counsel me.I completed my treatment there 3 years ago, so perhaps things have changed. Unless it is EVERYTHING, I suggest only alcoholics attend.
The family life atmosphere combined with staff that have been in my shoes before really gave me HOPE!! Not only was i taught about addiction and recovery but I learned daily living skills, art therapy, I learned who I was again!! I learned to set small daily goals and that helps me get to me bigger goal!!!
Location and rooms were nice. My loved one was in and out of this facility and i felt left out of the entire process
