I have a close friend that recently admitted herself to this rehab. I was excited for her journey to recovery at Livengrin because a long time ago, my grandfather went to rehab there. After visiting my friend twice and speaking to her everyday on the phone, I have to say I am severely disappointed in this rehab facility. My friend had to pay $3000 upfront before being admitted on top of what her insurance is paying. The facility itself isn t anything nice or special. The main building and furniture is outdated and there are very few activities for the patients and their visitors to do. The rehab is very understaffed and when I went to visit my friend on Labor Day, their picnic was basically ran by the patients. Staff is hardly around to be seen. There are significantly more men than there are women patients which is fine, except for the fact that my friend felt VERY unsafe while staying there. Several men hit on her regularly to the point where other male patients had to look out for her during her stay. The staff is completely aware of this. Drugs are unfortunately snuck into the facility often and I m not surprised by the fact that there are no patient searches and I was never even asked to show ID when visiting!!! The staff did not make any attempt to help my friend with keeping her job which was a HUGE stress for her while being there and even though she made several attempts to contact her counselor and coordinator, they ignored her on almost all accounts. She didn t even have access to a phone to try and solve her work issues herself without being cut off every 10 min. According to my friend, the meetings they had daily were repetitive and thrown together . By the time my friend was ready to leave (2 weeks in), she hated it there and ended up resenting the fact that she admitted herself to Livengrin which is a complete shame. If you are seeking rehab treatment for yourself or a loved one, I would NOT recommend Livengrin. They are very money driven and understaffed. Explore other options!
