About this Facility'+'+
Recovery is defined as a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential. It is our job to support our patients as they move through the recovery process. For our patients receiving medication assisted treatment it is our contention that patients should be maintained on medication for the shortest possible period of time, consistent with that individual’s goals, medical considerations, and their personal recovery. However, stabilized patients who abstain from use of alcohol and other intoxicating drugs, and show evidence of improvement in health and social functioning should be considered to be in recovery or recovering. We recognize that opioid addiction is a chronic, progressive illness that requires more than an acute care model of service delivery. We support a model of sustained recovery support analogous to medical management of other chronic diseases. We believe that the inclusion of family members and other recovery supports is integral to the treatment of our patients. Harmful behaviors including drug abuse impact all aspects of an individual’s life, treatment is intended to help guide the patient to develop a healthy lifestyle, and improve their personal relationships.

I've been at this place since 2009. I chose this place back then because after all the research of all the methadone programs this one was the best available in every way. It had superior therapy and groups. A superior Dr. Nursing staff and staff members who actually cared about your recovery and success because they personally were in long term recovery or touched by addiction personally in their own lives. Sadly about the past 5 yrs (despite personally needing to stay on methadone to continue my 12 yr recovery after trying to come off several times only to almost relapse each time once below 60mg.) I've actually considered just leaving almost mthly because all the caring staff were pushed out, forced to leave by over working them, they got emotionally beat down watching higher staff continue to put down addicts even one's who have been clean decades. Watching dosing nurses give unsolicited advice that's hurtful to the patients or abuse their position of power lying about a patient simply because they don't like them. Or listening to other staff only there to get a paycheck constantly treat patients like their less then dirt. Treat patients who should be thrown out or punished like gold and turn a blind eye to things because they favor them. I watch them treat their only guard like he's a receptionist or insignificant to them despite the fact he keeps the order and goes above and beyond his position for them. Councilors don't show up for days or weeks but then the patients are the ones in trouble for not getting their time in with the councilor who didn't show. The program here has completely fallen apart and now there's less success for new people and every many long timers who were clean decades are starting to relapse because your standard of care is that of someone in jail. But you put it on the patients instead of looking within and fixing what has broke with your system and employees. If a employee has a issue with addicts, the medication prescribed or how the program works then that person no matter the position shouldn't ever be hired in the first place. And a councilor hired who's never there or isn't providing proper care to their patients should be fired immediately instead of punishing the patients for something they don't control.
