Review of Tara Treatment Center, Inc.

The pictures are beautiful. The equestrian therapy...

The pictures are beautiful. The equestrian therapy is enticing. Everything sounds perfect. The thing is, there are no pictures of the women's housing, which is less than adequate. The staff act like drill sergeants instead of caring individuals. I chose to come here, and left 36 hours later (by the grace of God) bc they tried to tell me I couldn't make a phone call, but I finally did. If you want to go to prison, just go here. They did NOTHING for me. They set me back in my therapy, and thank God I picked a different Avenue that actually treated me like a human being and helped me recover. You get to be around horses, off sight, once a week. Nothing at this place is good. If you want help, go to Fairbanks in Indy. They care and treat you like a human being, for a fraction of the cost. A girl in my room my only night there was going through heroin withdrawal, and they did nothing. No meds or anything. Just let her suffer. I beg you, do not choose this place! I owed them $900 after 36 hours, when I owed Fairbanks $0 for my 8 day stay. I finished treatment at Fairbanks (3 additional weeks) for only slightly more than my visit to Tara.
