McLean Hospital- Ambulatory Treatment Center at Naukeag Reviews

As a first timer to rehab, I was sooo impressed with Naukeag. Some of the highlights were cell phone and computer use, mostly single bed rooms, good food, freedom to leave the property for walks, hikes or with family, great staff that cared and motivated patients, and lots of free time. I was only disappointed in not receiving a refill on a new prescription I was prescribed for high blood pressure. They tripled my dose half way through the treatment and I only had a few days left of medication by the time I left. I received refills for all the other psychiatric medications but not this "medical" one. I saw improvements on my blood pressure on my home device and was just confounded they wouldn't refill this prescription. I'm waiting until I see my NP in a couple weeks to have it refilled. The facility was good because of the freedoms. It was clean, well run, and inspiring. The only weakness I saw was the nursing staff and this was only a small weakness. Some of the nursing staff were a little moody at times. This may have been due to importance of the job with restricted medications (I wasn't on any).
This place gets it right. I've been to way too many in Pa, NJ Ny and my trip to MASS was soo worth it. I think this place has everything. Speaking of the detox and especially the aftercare. The doctors nurses and staff are way above anything I experienced but the people themselves. I mean patients made it great. I can go on and on. Ty naukeag.
A two week program is simply not enough. Do not waste your money on this place.
I entered treatment at Naukeag completely broken. The individual work I did with my counselor and the groups helped me to get in touch with the trauma that was fueling.My addiction. Thr setting of Naukeag Lake is so serene that while you are at such a vulnerable time, I found refuge in thr ability to reconnect with God- something I'd lost in active addiction.
My dearest friend -- my soul sister -- bravely fought a horrible addiction for so many years. Naukeag was the only treatment that helped her conquer it.
