Scary as heck checking in here..they are 2500 mile...

Scary as heck checking in here..they are 2500 miles from my house and highly recommended, I knew I needed to get far away from home to have the best chance of not running away..some of the negative reviews show how sick we all are when we get there...they truly helped me accept, understand and start to live with my addiction. I'll have 10 years in Sept. and it all started when I went to Pine Grove Next Step... I could not have got clean without treatment.. I used mind altering substances for over 40 years and never dealt with my emotions without self medicating.
A few things I didn't like were only seeing the Dr. once a day at most, really think it was about 3 times a week..he was a bit of a smart ass also. I had some medical issues there and the nurses always had to get his permission to give you anything..couldn't even get a antacid or a pain pill. Having to quit smoking at the same time was rough. They make you not see or talk to family for 2 weeks which is good. This is not a spa, it is a recovery center. They are trained professionals and know what they are doing, trust them and surrender to the process. I just decided to let go and do wethat they said to do, I was at the end and didn't know what else there was to do to get better. I was a mess..4 days in detox and 93 days here and I needed every minute. I'm sure if I think about it I can think of other negatives however overall they helped save my life. I would recommend them to any family who wants a loved one back from the horror of addiction. :)

P.S. They folks that gave a 3 star or less..I hope you get the help your looking for..Just surrender to the process and admit to your most inner self that you need help. We have to surrender to win. The negative comments seem to show how crazy we are in out active addiction..can't really see any that are justified if you really want to get better..the food was great..not everyone wants to be here however if you want to get better I can't think of a better place to start.
