If you are putting money into your health, your future and your family’s wellbeing, you want to make sure you’re making the best decision for your Ladysmith drug and alcohol abuse recovery clinic. While the smartest thing to do may still be to speak to our helpline advisors so they can discuss your individual needs, checking out how others have reviewed or rated some of the addiction rehab centers in or around you is another excellent place to start.
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.
Great staff, kept us well informed as family members, lots of activities Letting patients sign themselves out This is a veterans facility so everything is paid for by government so I see no reason a patient can sign themselves out.
Received appropriate treatment for my condition. One on one care with staff. Follow up counseling with physiatrist.
