Review of Stonehenge Therapeutic Treatme...

I really tried to make this program work. It felt like i was under suspision and had my room tossed 4 times in 60 days. While house searches occoured all clients had to remain in the basement 5 to 7 hours when we very well could had been isolated outside where it was plus 25 and sunny.

The staff were text book trained with zero personal experience with addiction. Staff threatened to have me discharged if my urine samples didnt clear up by a certain time. This only showed me that staff had very little knowledge of drug detection times. Benzos can be detectable for up to 30 days. To threaten to discharge me after 2 weeks isnt being very realistic about detection times. It seemed that staff needed some training on drug detection times.

There was an aledged smell of smoke in one of the houses so staff implemented a smoking bans. No smoking after meals and lengthy times between smoke breaks. This added to my struggle dealing with opiate addiction. I wasnt there to smoke less. I was there to quit heroin.

Staff were told to walk the property looking for smoking violators so they could be punished with community consequences. None of the staff smoke. Some first hand experience could had been useful in this situation for the smokers Similarily the kind of experience that is needed to have a good understanding about addictions and what they are dealing with. Stonehenge felt like i was in jail but i wasnt so i self discharged after a 60 day stay.
I dont have much money. Stonehenge had it in their safe. but rather then refund me all the money i had to my name they insisted they send my money through the mail. Its been 10 days and they still havent sent me my money. Thanks Stonehenge you have been a big help. I continue the fight.
