This place is beautiful, yes, but i had a horrible experience. I was 3 months pregnant when I went in but had no idea because I was only worried about using. State regulations state that facilities that medically detox women within child bearing years MUST test them before starting detox and educate them on their options and what would be best. They NEVER told me I was pregnant. They medically detoxed me with subutex and didn't test to see if I was pregnant. They were also just starting the renovations to the detox area while I was there (March 2015) and someone asked a tech how they can afford this after just building the resident houses, the techs reply was "the heroin epidemic, we are rolling in money from you guys".... As true as that may be, its a disgusting thing to say to a patient in your facility. Now I've been an addict for 5 years before coming here and had been in and out of rehabs but this was the first time I was so disgusted with a place. I clearly know I have a problem, they told me after being reviewed and talked to, they didn't feel I needed long term treatment and that a 5 day detox was good enough! I looked at my councelor in disgust and told her no I can't be sent back out their I'm telling you I will pick up again I need longer treatment I have a disease! Her response was "give yourself more credit, you can do this but if you feel like you're going to pick up again call us and we will see what we can do!" I laughed and said okay. The day after I left I used, overdosed, went to white deer run allenwood and found out I was pregnant. Have been trying to talk to someone their about why I wasn't tested, no one could call me back. They are a joke. I just thank God my son is perfectly fine and happy and healthy! Thanks for nothing livengrin!!
