  • They had good knowledge
    I entered MPI in October 1996 at 36 very tired and very broken. The Staff and program was extremely helpful in starting a new beginning in my life. I followed the program's advice and lived in a clean and sober house for about a year after 5 weeks In house treatment. I have been sober and clean ever since. I am an alcoholic and a drug addict and always will be. I just don't live that life anymore. Thank you for saving my life.

  • If you stay in contact with the staff, the program and follow your after care plan.. you will stay sober. I had relapsed after 3 years. I didnt want to go back to treatment and I had lost my job so I didn't have that kind of insurance.

  • ...[My son's] neurologist requested the doctor to call before making any medication changes and they refused to. Believe me you that was not acceptable. One guy got on him but not until the doctor was leaving for a 2 week vacation. My son's counselor suggested he has issues that were outside of her training...They do not call clients on their crud and are disorganized. The facility tells on a regular basis clients that relapse is part of recovery. WE are a family in 12 step recovery and we call bs to that. It can happen but to put it in their minds is wrong in our opinions and experience. They do not offer true recovery which begins with self honesty. They had great concepts but no follow through.The counselor at the family meeting was so full of herself she could not even connect.

    I have had family and friends in this facility. The staff is superior. This is the best facility I've worked in in 28 years in the field. The Monitoring and Re-entry program is awesome.
