WHAT ALUMNI SAY

In the solitary survey response to date on Best-rehabs.com, the alum Luke expressed significant criticism of the program, particularly in the areas of accommodations, cleanliness, family programming, counseling options, treatment effectiveness, staff experience and training, as well as exercise/leisure and holistic opportunities. Luke claimed to have not received aftercare, encountered untrained staff, found the facility unprepared upon arrival, and experienced a program that did not align with its description. Luke concluded by stating, “Worst program ever.”

WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY

No reviews from loved ones have been received by Best-rehabs.com thus far. However, an individual reviewing the facility on Google reviews shared their frustrating experience with the billing department.

  • The sanctuary is easily the most effective treatment center I have ever been to. You can’t go in expecting a vacation spa treatment where you will be pampered for a month. But you can go in and expect to meet a very helpful staff that will not only make you feel comfortable but they will also prepare you for when you go back into your house or next level of treatment. At the sanctuary we went to the gym 3 days a week, had intense yoga classes and also easy yoga classes. We went to buffets a few times, bowling alley, and movie theater. I definitely had fun during my stay but more importantly, I met some of the most motivated and inspiring people that I have ever met in my life. Just to make 2 Eric and Mitch are one of a kind. The whole staff is excellent in every way though. There is also a woman named Alexa who will go above and beyond to make sure I have the least amount of stress leaving treatment. This treatment facility is the key to success if you apply It!

  • I attended this new program. I was one of the first clients. They were very unprepared when I got there. The house I was living in was unfurnished. The program itself seemed very shaky they didn�t have a solid criteria and they were admitting a lot of people at once (because they were a new program). The amenities they claimed to have being spa treatment and acupuncture among other things such as yoga and music and art therapy they didn�t have for my entire stay there, until after I was discharged into IOP (intense out patient) which was their �step down� after completing the 28 day program. When I was discharged I wasn�t given an aftercare plan or any medication follow up or therapy after care. I wouldn�t ever go back there or have any of my loved ones go there due to the fact that they are unprepared and are more focused on the insurance money they are getting than the actual care of the clients. You live one place and program at another and they provide transportation and it was clean. No clear aftercare, untrained staff, you live in one place and program in another. Selling you one place and finding it was totally different. Worst program ever.
