Daymark Recovery Services - FBC Union

"Have always treated people that I’ve transported here with dignity and compassion"

"The bad reviews are only because the word "detox" is confusing. This is not a place to initially detox off of a drug. This is a place to help you transition into a long-term recovery center. Go to an addiction specialist doctor FIRST. Get you meds from him/her. Stay at home and get the drugs out of your system ,following a visit go to urgent care to get hydrated and nausea shots. Afterwards, go to daymark. It will be a nightmare if you try to actually detox here. When you go into Daymark, They will help you learn about addiction and they do have a few medications for anxiety and Benadryl for sleep. Yes, they are caring, contrary to other reviews, they are just not trained to detox a drug or alcohol out of your system."

"I took a young lady to this place and they made us wait for more than 7 hours. It was very difficult for this young lady to be waiting for so long and then she was sent to another center in Concord; where we waited and had to fill out paper work again! The people in the front desk were nice, but the people who did the paper work were very slow, and they did not communicated well. On top of that they were rude. I tried to be understanding but they have to change the way they do things because the people seeking help go there in crisis. They need a speedy process, respect and mercy."

"Most of the staff were OK. The Doctor's here absolutely suck tho. They basically told me that I needed to come in with some type of opiate in my system (Oxy, Boi, Methadone) in order to receive a tapered dose of Suboxone. But since I came in on Suboxone ( Acquired with a script from a DR) They decided that I needed to Cold Turkey. Anybody on suboxone knows what thats like. I walked out, I'll go somewhere else. Oh BTW, I didn't even see the Doctor. He decided by looking at some chart, What I needed and didn't need. We call these type of doctors (Dollar Store Doctors). Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere where you will be treated fairly and included in your treatment. How can somebody access what you're thinking or feeling to better understand what treatment plan is best for you if they don't even care or bother to sit down with a patient and have a discussion about the steps of their treatment. Not only do they make you cold turkey, But they expect you to go to class several times a day while you're dealing with full fledged Opiate withdrawal symptoms. They won't even let you just sleep through the withdrawals. You have to participate in listening to junkies and drunks talk about their poor miserable lives while you're literally sitting there dying."

"My wife went here, the Daymark on Roosevelt, looking for help, counseling, and was open to starting the process of getting temporary medication to control panic attacks. She trusted them, was honest about her past issues and things she'd been going through, they repaid her by having her involuntarily locked up in the hospital! Kai Mitchell should not be dealing with people that have a panic disorder, the mentally ill or anyone else for that matter! Ms. Mitchell told me that she was terrified of my wife and feared for her life as well as the safety of our child, after only speaking with her for a few moments!!! She actually said my wife's grip on reality was slipping away by the minute and that if she wasn't put on a psychiatric hold my wife would kill our child within the hour! My wife is not a danger to anyone, never has been, she's an amazingly loving and nurturing mother, and is a superbly intelligent woman! She just has severe anxiety and other issues that need to be worked through that stem from childhood abuse and other trauma. The Therapists at Daymark need more training, this one should be fired! After having my wife confide in her she couldn't even have a conversation with my wife to notify her of the plan to take her to a mental ward against her will, real professional and brave! The "Doctor" was so afraid of confrontation that she made me tell my wife and said if I didn't take her right over she would get a warrant from the magistrate and that she'd be forcibly taken from our home! My wife asked that this NOT be discussed in front of our child, but Ms. Mitchell didn't give a care, she refused and began talking very aggressively (at her) saying that she could go voluntarily now or get locked up, upsetting my poor wife, causing my daughter mental anguish, and both of them left in tears! YOU ARE A COWARD! She wouldn't let me take my daughter in another room while they talked or take my wife back to her office, this was done in the playroom with my young daughter present! I can't undo what was done to her innocent mind!!! Three days later, she keeps talking about the "bad doctors" or at dinner she's "looking for those bad people" Really, Thanks A LOT! You are an insensitive (Rhymes with Witch) for the way you handled the entire situation! If you need a body guard in order to speak with a patient, you're in the wrong field!"
