If you’re investing in a family member’shealth and future, you’ll want to make sure you’re making the best choice for your Greenbush alcohol and drug abuse rehab clinic. While the most prudent thing to do may still be to speak to our hotline advisors so they can discuss your personal needs, reading the ratings and reviews for some of the addiction rehabilitation programs in or around your area is another good place to start.

It's a great place, the counselor gives amazing lectures on how the brain works, and he's figured out things about addiction and how the brain changes as your addiction progresses and the possibility of basically rewiring the brain to enjoy other things to combat addiction. It's all very exciting to think about retraining your behaviors on that level, to feel hope about actually being happily sober. Most of the counselors are amazing, caring people, the living situation is awesome, and you learn and do so many cool things. The counselor that made me leave made did it arbitrarily and unfairly. I had my boyfriend and family in the living room because I thought you were allowed to show your visitors the home you were living at. I was made to leave, but my friend who had her boyfriend in our room was not even talked to about that. I really think that I could have gotten a lot from the treatment. I was so upset that I obviously relapsed... hard.
The non-medication approach suited me. They addressed the physical damage sustained by years of substance abuse, particularly the brain chemical instability, through vitamins, supplements & amino acid therapy. Neurofeedback and acupuncture were also used. The environment allowed for my physical & emotional healing and encouraged my spiritual growth -- which is the key to sustained sobriety. I would highly recommend this approach to anyone.
Program uses the Theraputic Community model. Treatment is intense, but facilitates major changes in a relatively short period of time. My only complaint about the program is the lack of emphasis on 12 step programs as a means of achieving long-term recovery.
