Escondido Comprehensive Treatment Center

"I'm sorry because I really like my counselor Billy but this place is so slow and they take in no consideration for people that actually have to go to work I've been late four times it doesn't matter what time I get therethere's times where I've been sitting there waiting for so long that I just have to leave without getting dosed because I seriously can't be late anymore"

"This clinic is "usually" 1 of the fastest and more oganized clinics out there. Not sure what happened to the place but I had the worst experience of my life there today. Arrived at 9am and at 1:30 p.m. 4 hours later I was barely finishing with the counselor. It took the front desk more than an hour and a half to input three pieces of paper have me sign them in the computer. I paid $90 and only had the nurse and couselor left and then I'd be dosing. I spent the next hour with the nurse, nurse practitioner and got my 21 day schedule. Next the counselor of course took the longest and LITERALLY right when I'm signing docs and it's been over 4 hours and I was the only intake. The nurse comes in and says since I had been prescrubed 10 Ssuboxone strips 2 weeks prior I couldn't get on the program. Now mind you I'm 30 sec away from dosing, been here over 4 hours, it's Friday and now I can't get on the program? SERIOUSLY? I even had the meds with me and was going to flush them down the toilet the nurse practitioner still said no. What makes absolutely no sense to me, why take my money, why waste 4 hours of my time, only 30 seconds before I'm getting ready to dose, then you tell me "oh sorry we can't let you on because the prescription that's in your car that you're going to flush down the toilet I'm afraid that you're going to take them after you get on the program"! WTF? Who in their right mind would take suboxone after taking methadone? It was the most Mickey mouse bunch of BS I've ever been put through in my entire life! what was once an incredible Clinic is now just absolute bottom of the barrel, run by clowns. Cause there really NOT trying to help people with how I was treated today. Yet again even at almost 50yrs old was treated today like no more than a gutter junky trying to manipulate everything and everyone to get what? To get meds that if I take em with the ones I have I'll end up in the hospital? Or better yet the ones that were going to get flushed? Yeah NOT TRYING TO HELP ANYONE THAT'S FOR SURE. IF THERE WAS A MINUS 5 STARS that's not minus enough to describe the mind @#$& that they put me through today!"

"Great place, good people. Helping others to help themselves."

"This place is the only place that was willing to help me and I'm living pain free because of them. No pain management facility or doctor would accept me due to being too much of a liability..yet they helped me. My situation is a bit different than most that come here but I noticed if you follow their rules and meet.them half way all will work out. I've also grown to Love the staff. It can get hectic and busy in this place and weekend hours are kinda crappy LOL but that's expected. Totally happy with my decision to come here. Will recommend anyone needing help with addiction or other issues to this place and will continue to do so until given a good reason not to..from what I've seen personally, most that complain are the ones not following the rules or truly serious about wanting to get better..follow their rules and be serious. I've never had any issues here at all."
