When you’re putting money toward your health, your future and your family’s happiness, you want to make sure you’re making the best decision for your Norwalk alcohol and drug abuse treatment facility. While the smartest thing to do may still be to call our hotline experts so they can discuss your specific needs, seeing how people have reviewed or rated some of the addiction rehabilitation centers in or around your area is another good way to get started.
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.
The wait time was 6+ hours. I know the staff was doing the best they could dealing with the incoming patients, insurance, etc.,...more staff means more cost for the patient too so I understand and, in a weird sort of way proves you really want to get better. I got to know some of the people I would be staying with which is a plus going into a great unknown. I strongly disagree with the lack of privacy...the incoming staff should be separated. I would almost go so far as to say, the stuff they were talking about was loud enough for all the hear! I thought that violated the right to privacy laws and was the very worse thing I remember. Knowing the average wait time they could move the incoming staff into one of the two side offices (privacy) and make the waiting room bigger....and provide more comfortable seating...just a one time investment and not looking for luxury...trying sitting 5+ hours in a dinner chair, cramped in that small area with 6-7 other people? In my -5-6 hours I never saw both those offices occupied at the same time and one was only open for a very short period...the other maybe 2-3 hours. I first checked in around 11AM on a weekday so they should have been at full-staff. Once you get pass the doors the place is great. I really felt very comfortable. I shared a room with 3 people with beds separated by curtains which provided enough privacy. Beds were good enough...no complaints..can\'t expect a Tempur-Pedic...lol. Big living room with plenty of couches and comfortable seats. Kitchen was always stocked with milk, juices and caffeine-free drinks (hot/cold). Healthy snack food was almost always available...cereal, PBJs, etc. Three square meals a day and the food was good to pretty good, not great and don\'t expect a Rib-eye steak 8^) They also bring out a night time snack...rotating between sandwiches (pretty bland, but that\'s what mustard and mayo are for..lol), Smartfood, granola bars...and always have a variety of fruit. No worries about being hungry! One of the most important aspects is the inside staff. Most, if not all of the main staff that stays on the floor 24/7 have been in your shoes so they understand, are not judgmental and make the stay even a little easier. On good weather days we were aloud to go outside...what a relief from the walls, even if it was only an hour every other day or so. The doctors and the front office staff also seemed understaffed which is a shame because it seemed to me that some people were pushed through...hospitals do this too All in all, I would definitely recommend this place
Westport House saved my life!! After bouncing in and out of treatment for the better part of a decade, my family made the decision to have me participate in this sober living program following an inpatient stay in Pennsylvania. I was scared and completely put off by the idea of extended care, but the staff, environment, and camaraderie with housemates quickly changed my mindset. At Westport House I was able to develop and grow as a man and managed to secure my first real job. Upon graduation, I left as a confident, self-assured man in recovery. I can’t express my gratitude to the Westport House enough. I didn’t get my old life back, I got a new, much better life. Thanks to all you guys for helping me become the person I always hoped I could be!
My son was losing his battle with ophoids due to needing them after a serious surgery. A friend mentioned Mountainside and I am SO GLAD she did. He was not treated like a loser but someone who was ready to get his life back. The place is beautiful, the food is great and the counselors really know their stuff (not to mention VERY compassionate). I strongly suggest that this is the place you go to for substance abuse!
