I am a physician 3 years sober after an injury and subsequent addiction to opiate pain pills. I needed help when I began my treatment at pine grove next step program and I am truly grateful to them for my recovery. That being said the arrogance and incompetence I experienced during my interactions with the professional enhancement program has nearly destroyed my life and career. After two years sober and practicing without issue I requested the removal of a small restriction on my practice. When I last left pine grove the recommendation was that I return for a recheck before this was removed. After my voluntary recheck it was recommended that I no longer practice medicine in any manner. When I was finally granted access to my medical records I found they had been altered a month after my visit. The contents of the records were misdated, misleading, and almost intentionally inaccurate. I was out of work for three months (not in any sort of treatment) while I worked with a lawyer, the medical board, and another rehab facility to verify my innocence and prove that I was safe to practice medicine. I am now back at work and my practice restriction has been removed but in the process pine grove cost me my professional reputation in a small town, months of income, legal and evaluation fees, and has been the single biggest threat to my health and recovery. I will now have to rebuild things again. Please do not put yourself in a situation where these people have power over your career. If you are a professional you have worked too hard to support your family for your career to be taken away. There are some good programs out there. This particular one does not have enough MD supervision and is in actuality run by a very unprofessional and poorly qualified staff.
