What a disappointment. I believe all addiction is attached to some type of mental illness. This facility treats short-term detox, not at all underlying issues. The staff dr. treats everyone with the same meds, without regard to individual needs. The staff is overworked, most often spending time behind closed doors or behind their sound proof "booths" rather than integrating with patients. I actually watched them facetiming and SnapChatting on their phones through the windows. Really folks?

I received only one therapy session, that was an intake session. Received no help or referral for my depression and PTSD, just a barrage of meds that are designed for detox, which was--even according to the staff doc--over in less than 48 hours.

Food was so high in sodium I was sick. Some of the food staff was intolerably unhappy, which is not a good recipe for integrating with people who were admittedly imbalanced at the time.

There was little control over the patients OR staff. I was most often woken at night by loud conversation by both, or TVs blaring at 1 a.m. No one attempted to provide discipline or structure. It was unruly chaos.

I went to get discharged and was told by the dr. I was ready to go. I actually listened to him dictate chart notes that he agreed and endorsed my request. Later that day, when I approached the on-site staff, I was told the doc recommended an additional 22 days stay, and that I'd be balance billed. Why would my insurance want to pay for unneeded care?? I can only believe they wanted to fill their pricey beds.

Then only good thing about Valley was the patients...
