"Horrible place no communication whatsoever Do not go there or. Send any one you care about there Not a reputable so called Detox ! They don’t help you at all !!!! The Worst possible place"

"Absolutely the worst detox of my life. Checked myself out after not even 12 hours, and after repacking (outside) found out i had two boxes of cigarettes stolen and a lighter. Which should have been less under lock and key by the stuff. Also vitals and meads were a total joke show. Only one nurse went above and beyond and she was my saving grace getting me out. Wouldn’t have been comfortable sleeping at all. It’s not a safe place if you’re truly looking to be in a safe sober environment."

"When it comes to using is this tss it's a pat on the back. But stand up for yourself and want a better program good luck. Someone said it best they are a step up from jail but homeless people use it as a shelter. I needed more mental health care was there 3 months and got kicked out with a bus pass. People who are running the facility are not involved or really interested in any other day to day groups. Hopefully someone who cares about the way we get back into society can help this place if not. It's a pre-release that smokes. No real nurses or on help with dual diagnosis staffing"

"Amazing upbeat non-judgemental nurses. Its the only place I will go. Their case managers really go hard for you and genuinely care. Im still not sure if they are letting pple out to smoke yet due to covid but they have patches etc. Its clean enough. Beds are not too close bigger room. Kitchen any time. Totally worth it. Ive succeeded in my recovery due to there dedication day in n day out.You can image what they see and you can see the pain in the staffs for pple who leave too soon. They care. Ive been to other facilities and this is the most neutral. Methodone protocol. Or I believe ativan every few hours for alcoholic."

"Stayed here twice, both times detoxing off heroin. The last time I came here I left early because I was very dissatisfied with this place for a number of reasons. First, this place is understaffed most days and as a result there are few groups/activities throughout the day. This leads to intense boredom as there is nothing to do but sleep or watch tv in the small dayroom. Second is the clientele that are usually admitted. Court-mandated detoxes from the area usually come here. In addition to that, this place admits nearly anyone so there is a huge homeless population using it as a spin-dry. This leads to a pretty rough crowd that can be intimidating. The next problem is a result of 1 and 2; drug talk/consumption. When you put 30 junkies in a detox together, give them nothing to do, and expect a full detox, they are bound to do what they know best which is drugs. Because of understaffing it is extremely easy to sneak in and consume drugs. And then you can openly talk about it because the only staff member around is in the hallway. The rooms are usually 6 guys to a room (not sure about womens) and they all share the same bathroom/showers. This place is like a little taste of prison. The only positive thing about this place is the librium protocol they do for opiate withdrawal. If you like being left alone all day to sleep then this is the place for you."
