If I could give it 0 stars I would. I know they have helped many people but their protocols and truthfulness need help. We were lied to repeatedly. The rules kept changing depending on who you spoke to. I helped someone go here voluntarily on their own accord at the recommendation of a therapist I know. This person was told by Pine Grove before admitting himself that it was all voluntary and if he didn t feel he was getting the help he needed, he would not be kept against his will. After being treated liked a criminal in jail and being given medication to keep him sleeping all the time, he saw an actual doctor for maybe 5 minutes total. He got very minimal one-on-one counseling. They just wanted to put him in group therapy sessions along with keeping him medicated. When he realized their treatment wasn t what he needed and it wasn t helping him, they wouldn t let him leave. They kept buying time by saying a doctor had to sign release forms. After giving them numerous hours and opportunities to get things together, I realized they weren t going to release him. They were just postponing me. I showed up to get him out, because he wanted to leave and they were just accumulating a large bill for him to pay. I gave them an opportunity to release him without the police being called for false imprisonment. When they found out what I was doing, they then made a power play and slapped a 72 hr mandatory hold on him. In short, this place was more like a prison where he was treated like he was the bad guy and a criminal than he was helped. Be careful before you admit someone here. You may have to fight to get them out. PS his treatment had nothing to do with detox or addiction
