I have been coming here for 3 years now. Yes, I gave up 1 addiction for another. BUT, the 1 I gave up was ILLEGAL, IMMORAL, SUPER EXPENSIVE and because it was a “ street drug”, it was not given in regulated doses ( to me) and therefore my next trip was either in handcuffs or in a vinyl bag with a cheap zipper. So I can’t say enuf about Medmark of oxford . They literally saved my life. Attending there for 3 years I’ve dealt with a ton of different ppl in there as patients and staff. I think their policies are extremely appropriate. I have a full time in retail and I’m sure there are ppl I deal with that complain that I’m rude to them too?! It comes with the territory and environment. I’m NOT rude as a general rule and definitely not often if at all!!! But I’ve learned that sometimes comments like that are brought on by a ton of factors. Also you have to look at some of us who go in there.... some are still detoxing, some had to fight for a ride from 50 miles away to barely get there etc. plus most of us are there IN LINE way before the sun comes up- you add everything up and its already going to put some ppl in a grumpy mood. I think if you give a smile, eventually you will get a smile!!!!! Ppl, be nice! They are there to help us. The ppl complaining that it’s too expensive, they are not friendly, the hours suck.... lol give me a break! No one is making you go there- if you are not happy, go back to your “ DOC” where the hours are better and your DRUG DEALER always greets you with a smile on his face at 5:00 am. But I promise you doing what you were that brought you in there sure as HELL isnt cheaper!!!! What some of you are paying in 2-3 weeks of treatment- I was paying a day! Sure crack is $5 or $10 a hit or you can get some great pills for $20 but IS THAT REALLY CHEAPER???? I don’t regret 2 seconds of my visits to Medmark!!! I gladly use 20-30 minutes of my am to hang out there - it’s 1000x better than what brought me there 3 years ago! GET OVER IT -
You check in go to the back get your meds and leave. Some of the dosing nurses are nice. I guess people expect it to be a five star resort. You could pay for your DOC.. so you can pay for this lol. Give me a break!
The staff is rude and they do not care about helping their patients. They have no problem at all with letting you withdrawal or relapse by not giving you your medicine and sending you on your way to be sick or go back to your D.O.C do that you aren’t sick because of them and their “policies”. It’s ridiculous and I will not change my ratings until the policies are changed and I will continue to let everyone who considers this place for treatment know not to bother until the policies are changed.
I don’t have anything to say
Treatment EffectivenessMeals & NutritionDo not consider hardships patients undergo..Most expensive in.area. Refuse to work with patients dependant on methadone. I have been on methadone at this clinic 20 years now have to do without because of price. Try to detox off methadone after 20 years.
