Hagerstown Treatment Center. This place not only SAVED MY LIFE, it turned my life around 100%!!!!! I have been in other treatment centers and failed time and time again. HTC has this great friendly environment that makes it easy to go into and do what you need to do to become a success. It needs to be made clear its not just the medicine. The staff, all of them! Dr. Jameson has many patients but he knew me by my name ... Not my number... And he ALWAYS said hello to me asked me how I was doing and if I needed anything. The nurses are nice too they want to see each patient become a success! Jeff is always a delight to see at the window, he always makes sure to make me smile, and Mary she loves to play little jokes on you to brighten your day.
Even down to the cashiers just great happy people and if you had a question they would be sure to guide you in the right direction, or Fran she is I believe the financial coordinator even she takes a second just to say hello and smile. Now to some people these things that I'm saying may not sound like much... But to me as a former user a simple smile, or a pat on the back, especially a big hello from someone who remembered your name meant a whole lot. I mean enough to make that smile and happiness spread from my day to another, and so on. It means everything when that smile could be the smile that changed the mind of a user who had decided they had no reason to go on...
HTC's environment is light and happy. You can feel It when you go inside.... As long as you follow the rules. You will do well there.
The counselors I know they all work very hard with as many patients that they have and the amount of work they must do with each and every patient they still get the job done!
Lee known as the "ART" counselor he is awesome and brings some young, hip and very cool vibes to the place and he does the art classes and makes them fun and that's always a good time!!!
I feel that I need to give a very special Thank You to my counselor Daisy Spann, she worked with me when I was going through some particularly rough times, she calmed me down when I needed to be calm, she slowed me down when I was over thinking things, and getting freaked out a little. Daisy did everything that my "counselor" was supposed to do and just so much more. I achieved more than I ever though I could with her guidance.
I will continue to seek it whenever I feel it necessary. With her help and my hard work I was able to achieve take home medications. So I now only come in 2 times a month. I miss seeing her as much but I worked hard to get where I am and I'm proud of myself. I can most definitely say that I would not be where I am without her. She is the A#1 BEST counselor that I have EVER HAD! I'm 38 so yes I have been through quite a few lol... I stand by that though. I know she has done her schooling and gotten her certifications... None of that to me compares to the straight up one on one sit down shoot from the hip talk she has given me. She is very educated and knows her stuff that's for sure. She's well qualified if not over qualified for her position and she is always on point!
Ok I'm rambling... I recommend HAGERSTOWN TREATMENT CENTER to anyone who has a need for treatment I do so all the time. I will continue to do so from now on....again THIS PLACE CHANGED MY LIFE... AND IF YOU NEED HELP... IT CAN CHANGE YOURS!!!!!
