Willingway saved my son’s life. As the parent of a child with a 15 year heavy drug addiction (opioids/heroin) , I almost gave up hope that my son could live any other way. After admission to over 15 different treatment centers over 20 years, I was convinced 30 days of treatment was simply not enough. My son needed to learn how to live a different life. The extended stay treatment program has somehow turned him around, completely. He has his life back and is sober now for 15 months, fully employed and enjoying his life. Fact is, he finally surrendered and followed the program. I paid privately as insurance would only pay for outpatient after a 30 day program... but it was so worth getting my son back. He did the work, and I know they were strict , but it worked. His counselor, his group, were so helpful and attending meetings every day and going through the 12 steps.. all figured into his successful recovery. He even told me that there was something about Willingway that is different than the other rehab centers. He believes it is their diligence and support and they sincerely wanted him to be sober and looked out for him in very supportive ways always advocating for the patient’s well being... something he couldn’t do for himself. I would highly recommend Willingway. It was recommended to me by a lovely and dear addictions counselor/friend who does intervention work and sends her clients to Willingway. Thank you Willingway and staff for giving my son his back the life that dugs took from him for so long.
I am a former resident of this program, now 4 years sober, and was surprised to see such a negative review of this program. One of the directors (TS), who is no longer associated with the program, had a tendency to use fear and vey unusual consequences as a means of behavioral modification. I admit, I didn\'t/don\'t agree with most of those techniques for a person who has already suffered severe trauma as a result of years of substance abuse/addiction, but we are talking about very unhealthy individuals who arrive to treatment with nothing but problems, poor coping skills, family issues, legal issues and low-self esteem. It doesn\'t feel good to give up the one thing that provided comfort/relief and learn how to live sober. That\'s why the statistics for long-term recovery are so low. I can say in all honesty that the program provided EVERYTHING I needed to leave and stay sober. Most places, and I have \"unsuccessfully\" attended many of them myself, provide a bed and minimal structure. Damascus provided me with structure, accountability, workbook material, relapse prevention, 12 step support and a safe, comfortable environment to learn how to live, work and thrive as a sober member of my society. It\'s too bad some disgruntled former residents who were unwilling to put forth honesty, hard work, and behavior modification into action. I still maintain friendships with many sober brothers in recovery who had the same experience I did. Thanks staff!
