Because it's helping me be a mother to my daughter and be clean
Homeless with two Teenager boys. I need help not sure what to do. I am 42 and my boys are 13 & 16 years old. I am very thankful for what we do have
This place is now called The Village South and policies are different than Susan B. But is similar...
Our 21 y.o. daughter wanted to go there with her 16 month old daughter,to get her act together, cut out the weed and learn the life skills she's lacking. She has substance abuse issues, bipolar disorder and reactive attachment disorder (RAD). She was finally admitted and on the first night was invited by some of the residents to another apartment where cigarettes were smoked in a no smoking facility. All the young women involved received consequences and the treatment and incident make our daughter want to leave. However, by the next morning she decided she wanted to stay. Please understand that she was scared and not smoking weed for the first time in a long time so her mental health issues were all triggered. This facility claims to detox and treat co-occurring disorders. Instead, staff contacted DCF, and said she had to leave because she was an emotional wreck and needed a higher level of treatment than they could provide. They suggested a place that provides the same level of care. No real reason for asking her to leave was given and even the DCF worker was baffled as to why our daughter was being kicked out. Where's the compassion, treatment and care promised? Obviously, this place engages in false advertising at best, and at worst, there is a level of corruption that goes beyond the reports of rats and roaches. The state attorney's office needs to investigate this place from top to bottom.
they have roaches and the staff is disrespectful and abusive , but other than that they got me clean been clean for 8 months now.. but still they are getting only 1 Star
The program is great for some, loved to see the success!
A very nice place if you or a loved one needs help. The staff and the organizations leaders truly care about the women there.
You get out of it what you put into it. I am a SBA graduate that did very well in the program. There were MANY difficult times and unless you REALLY WANT to change -- you'll hate it. Sobriety is a process that doesn't happen overnight .... humility and maturity are required. I did not agree with everything they did, and of course it's easy to point out the bad, but I changed. I got better and I am sober today.
My therapist Deborah was excellent for me. The vocational staff is very caring and helpful. The apt style living was very comfortable and my kids adjusted quickly. There were times I wanted to pack and leave but I am glad today that I stuck it out.
If you are a Mom struggling with addiction and truly READY to live right, you will blossom at SBA. If you are looking for a way to beat your case or a comfy place to dry out before your next run you will hate it there.
In my opinion, it's hard to ask for more than what SBA has to offer. The problem is inside you --- not with the program.
Love this place! Thank you SBA for everything! Still clean from when I first came in November 2018. Wish they never changed!!!!
After purging the closets of a family of five I decided that donating the items was better than simply tossing everything in the trash. I also wanted to donate to a group of people I felt would benefit the most, Susan B Anthony seemed to be a perfect fit. When I arrived at their doors I was beyond disappointed. I was giving very little direction as to where to leave the items, and was offered no assistance to carry the car load of items I had into the facility. The receptionist was rude, she ignored my questions and shoved a tax write off form to me! I didn't expect a parade but some helpful guidance regarding donation procedures would have been greatly appreciated. I left without signing the tax write off form because that wasn't the reason why I gave new and barely used goods, BUT I will not donate there again. I'll go to a homeless shelter instead.
