WHAT ALUMNI SAY
Four alumni surveyed by Best-rehabs.com at this time of writing provided positive feedback for Foothill. All four alumni gave the center five out of five stars for its treatment effectiveness.
Two alumni cited staff as a strength of the facility. “It focuses on the basic foundation needed to get clean,” wrote alum J.O., “and empowers the addict to recognize that there is a choice.” Alumni also highlighted that the program assisted vulnerable individuals. “Great for people with low or no income,” commented R.G. Another alum, S.H. wrote that they attended treatment directly from jail, adding: “Believed in me when society didn’t.”
However, alumni felt holistic offerings were lacking, with three alumni giving the category ratings between one and three stars. Three alumni gave the center’s family participation five out of five stars with another providing a one-star rating.
Secondary sites yield mostly positive feedback. The sole reviewer on CiteHealth commented: “I believe this place is proof that expensive rehabs dont offer anything more than this place.”
On Google, two of three reviewers provided perfect five-star ratings. The third reviewer on Google, M.L., however, left a one-star rating. M.L. called staff “rude” and commented: “They ask Family to pick up the tab on taking them to appointments and don’t even try to talk with the family about what’s going on.”
FINANCING
Though specific financial details are unavailable on the facility’s website, internal budgeting information suggests that a sliding scale fee may be assessed. Of the three individuals polled by Best-rehabs.com to date, two gave the center’s affordability five out of five stars while a third provided a one-star rating.
