They took me in with no money off the streets and helped me get clean over 20 years ago. Sure they are not perfect in any way. And yet- They saved my life. Some of my best times were at Walden House. Thank you. i would not be alive without you.

Family member checked in for inpatient alcohol rehab. They have terrible mental health and a dependency on cannabis, alcohol, and antidepressants. So why is this facility allowing the use and sale of tobacco and cannabis among such a vulnerable population?

Only give it two stars because I'm currently a client here and there are a few people that are good and go above and beyond the call of duty at work. Then there is the ones who need to find a new job. One transportation office are in your business and now must have MD after their names because they let you know that they know how your treatment is because the driver was on methadone he just knows it all as for the little girl in transportation. Then we also have the nurse that tells you the same thing on how your treatment should be and go. I'm a disabled veteran that I see multiple doctor's and counselors because I'm a war veteran who was hurt overseas. Then we have there boss asked me a question that I'm very offended by asking me if I had a problem with black people, how dare her especially when I have African American in me. If possible please find another treatment place to go to and stay away from health right 360......
