Strengths: Understanding, Group Therapy, 1 on 1 counseling when needed. Counselors who are recovering addicts. Weaknesses: coordinating same addictions. They were to quick to transfer me inpatient. This is was not me. I left after 2 weeks. Then attended intense outpatient treatment at Thedacare Behavioral Health
The counselors were old-school “break the client down” types - very shaming, always accusing us of lying. I came with much lower self-esteem than when I went in, already suicidal. Strengths: Beautiful clean well-maintained house. Strong management. Excellent access to good food (clients take turns cooking supper for the group - usually about 12 clients at a time, 90 day facility). Very organized schedule and rules and abide by sanitary guidelines, health care like flu vaccines for everyone, and care to prevent communicable diseases being spread. Also excellent facility for troubled mothers with young babies, as small children can stay with their mothers. Weaknesses: Overly strong emphasis on 12-steps as the only way, and strong religion emphasis, clients can be shamed if they do not believe in God.
I am more than seven years clean! I attended this program beginning as a partial inpatient, all the way through to once a month counseling, and weaning off suboxone. Many people have included that this program was. for lack of better terms, a waste of money. Yes it is expensive, but just as I would have found a way to get my next fix, I found a way to attend. Also others are blaming their stay was short, or have had relapses. The tough part of addiction, is that there is no miracle that can be performed to \"keep us clean. We have to make that choice every single day from now until forever. I will certainly give Dewey some credit, they showed me the basic tools that I need to be and to say in recovery. However, it all boils down to, how much work an active addict wants to get clean, you get what you put into it. But there is no treatment center that can cure anyone from addiction...there is no cure...The only way any person will stay in recovery is by WANTING recovery MORE than they need it.
