DON’T SEEK HELP for depression here. This is strictly a drug & alcohol program. BUT, they are HAPPY to keep all payment REQUIRED IN ADVANCE. The facility is lovely and the staff are qualified and passionate about their clients. Chad Grimm, CEO however, is only in it for the money.

I would not recommend this facility to anyone in need of treatment. They will take full payment for their program upfront, however will quickly boot a struggling addict out whenever they want. My 22 yr old son was battling addiction and successfully completed a 30 day inpatient rehab program. He went immediately from the inpatient to longbranch outpatient. His addiction was opiates and cocaine. After 1 random drug test that showed positive for alchohol only, not the illegal drugs that almost killed him, they released him after 10 days of a 45 day program with no care or regard to how it would affect him. The 40 days that he was sober was the longest in 3 yrs. He managed to remain sober for another 10 days before feeling like a failure and turning back to his addiction. I begged the staff to reconsider as I knew this would happen and without any care they coldly stated that it would not be an option. I am sure their ultimate goal was to hope he would fail so he would be placed back inpatient and their inpatient is conveniently located near our community. I know thru research support groups and the programs my son has attended that relapse is an unfortunate reality to rehab. WHY DONT THEY??? AND WHY DONT THEY CARE???
