Roxbury Treatment Center Reviews

This center deserves ZERO stars. They do not know how to properly inventory patients items, instead they steal them and patients have to call the police to get their belongings. This has to be the worst place to send someone who is struggling with mental health. The bed linens are yellow stained with urine. They do not do any therapeutic activities with patients just have them sit and watch tv. I have read the reviews and maybe at one point they were good but that is no longer true. Patients are denied their legal rights. HIPAA is violated. There is no staff or management accountability. If you love someone DO NOT LET THEM GO HERE!
I was one week shy of my 27th birthday when I came to Roxbury . Happy to say as of today 5/20/2021. I have 35yrs sober! I could not have done it with out the guidance of the staff .thank you for showing meme I was going to be Ok.Roger Trombley
I must say this is the only treatment facility I have ever been to. I have no comparison to other facilities. I spent 12 days at Roxbury. The staff was 90% wonderful. The facility was 84% clean. The rules were very restrictive, but they had to be. We had mental health situations that could have become dangerous with less restrictive rules for EVERYONE there. We had addicts who were detoxing and going through withdrawal and medication sickness and severe mood swings as well as mental illnesses who needed to get on a Monitored medicine regime. I understand why the rules were so severe and agree it was the best and safest way to deal with a mixed bag population, to treat them all as potentially dangerous to themselves and/or others. Good call. The food was actually pretty good and plentiful. Most people going there are malnourished and they gave every opportunity to feed up very nicely. The psychiatrists were very experienced and could read the patients clearly and not rely on what the patients told them. They couldn’t be deceived easily and were experienced enough to see the core of the matter. I needed to get antidepressant meds and be supervised until my regiment was established. Not the worst case scenario. They did that perfectly. I saw what other issues and personality types the staff had to deal with. They did an overall fantastic job. I highly recommend Roxbury Treatment Center for their caring staff and good food. There were a few hours a day of down time which was hard to take. I know they were busy but some organized activity available during those times would have given patients an alternative to being in their own heads and bored for those hours. Maybe I missed the point on that time and it was constructive for some. We were allowed five cigarette breaks a day, cigarettes provided. We were an adult unit and most were smokers including all detox patients. That was so nice to not have that taken away. The stress of cold turkey no smoking on top of everyone’s issues would have raised stress levels and tempers astronomically. Thank you for that Roxbury. My experience was super helpful in getting treatment for depression, anxiety and PTSD. I highly recommend Roxbury’s facility. Five stars if there were five to mark.
Waste of time. He also met many new friends who are also discharged and still using. Biggest Joke ever. Its more harm than good.
It's Been over a year and I still have nightmares of Roxbury. I came in with slight depression on my own non-smoker and I left angry with myself and I smoked now because that's all there is there. I had a fever for two days with chills and other symptoms and should of been in the hospital but you know what Roxbury did? Nothing... The doctor was rude and made me feel like less of a Person. Food was a cafeteria and it was equivalent to my elementary school food . Maybe because I'm from CT and we care about people here But Roxbury was a nightmare of poor food and horrible treatment. They do t Care about The patient just their money. You want results? Go anywhere else
