When you’re putting money into a family member’s health and well-being, you want to make sure you’re making the right decision for your Thomaston alcohol and drug dependence rehab clinic. While the smartest option may still be to call our helpline advisors so they can discuss your individual needs, reading the reviews and ratings on some of the addiction rehabilitation programs 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.
Westport house was more than responsive to the immediate needs of our son. They played a key role in helping our son regain his overall health. He is now a productive person and we see the loving child we have not seen in more than two years. We will be forever grateful to Westport House for everything they did to save our child.
My 23 year old son is a graduate of Turning Point and 3 years sober. After three different 30 day rehab stays and subsequent relapses we realized it was going to take more for our son to maintain his sobriety. Luckily we were referred to Turning Point. The Turning Point staff mentored and guided our son and gave our family a sense that it could be done and, more importantly, he could do it. The communication was open and honest and there was always easy access to someone when questions arose. The way the program is structured into phases lends itself for slowly raising self esteem which is often so lacking in these young men. The people who work at Turning Point are real life people with real life experiences making a difference to so many young men. The camaraderie at Turning Point is inspiring, my son remains close friends with many of the guys he meet during his year at Turning Point. My son is now helping other people struggling with addiction and we could not be more proud of the person he has become. We owe so much to Turning Point and their vision and insight into how to effectively deal with addiction, they taught our son how to live a sober, productive and happy life while still having fun. We couldn’t ask for more!
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
