If you’re investing in a family member’s health and happiness, you need to make sure you’re making the best decision for your Sharps alcohol and drug addiction recovery center. While the best course of action may still be to dial our hotline advisors so they can discuss your individual requirements, looking at the reviews and ratings on some of the addiction rehab clinics in your area is another great 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.
I don't think they have the best staff. There isn't a doctor on premises at all times, and there ought to be one available always. They are not good for people who have physical problems, and substance problems due to injuries. They are probably good for seriously ill people.
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.
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.
