Joseph S. Massie Unit Reviews

The staff here are excellent they treated my son very good he is getting ready go back they have accepted him many times and always tried to help him and treated him with respect
I was in there in 2014 and I love it.. They really help me to learn about my problems and works on myself the therapist was great and now I am going on 5 yrs clean..Thank you again Massie Unit for saving my life..
I was very scared at first. I was treated with respect and felt as if the program was truly designed to help me. I felt as if the staff was listening to me and constantly working on my goal plan. I was very educated and given tools to help recognize my addiction the triggers and steps to maintain and over come any set backs that I become faced with. I made some friends in and out of the program . And have a life long support network. This program is a good program but like anything you do positive in life you will have to want it and at some point shut up listen.. Thank you to all the staff at Massie..
I was trying to get into the program I was 100% honest and he calls me back and said bc of My health I didn’t fit The criteria and he thought I should commit myself into the hospital well first off my health is fine he nvr heard a word I said he was very rude and like I said nvr heard a word that I said
The Massie Unit staff and program saved my daughter's life. They reached her when nothing or no one else could. Introducing her to NA/AA meetings was the greatest help to her. She is now on the cusp of one year of being clean of heroin. I am eternally grateful to the staff for helping my daughter and our family.
