Gaudenzia Erie

You need to drug test your 3rd shift house manager. You have an addict working with addicts. Not good!


Your staff should be drug tested randomly! Especially one of your third shift house managers. 

Large number of beds, but lack of consistency. The program has a lot of needs therefor easy to get annoyed.  There is a detox unit as well as the long term program.  The director of the program is wonderful and willing to help. 

Strengths: Their counselor's. Weaknesses: Being Co-ed. Gaudenzia Erie Inc... Helped me understand that I am an addict and that it's possible for me to recover.

Great courses for recovery and learning about your addiction. Needs more staff that fully understands the recovery process first hand and not just through books. I enjoyed my stay at Gaudenzia. They have great structure and groups. 

The facility had excellent staff, they addresses all issues and aspects of recovery, and it was clean and structured.

Good experience. Staff routine was bad at first but helped me get back to myself eventually. The treatment plan and meals were good. However, they were too strict with no contact to family members at times. 

The treatment is fair. It is good treatment once you leave. However, there were not enough privileges. 

It gave me the start required to learn and therefore get wise to myself. Life changing pain in the butt hard work....that old phrase cognitive dissonance comes to mind. I relapsed after a year but continued with meetings. I'm clean today. I didn't really go there for a hotel stay, so so it could have been in a cardboard box... I didn't care. It had a toilet, shower, food and self discovery.
