My son was sent here and from the start we had issues. It was extremely difficult to even get him in in the first place then when we finally got him there, after him being sent home after only a week due to COVID-19(not their fault), the staff had issues with the staff. They said he offended someone in the community and didn't listen to staff. However, he had already nearly reached level three, which I don't understand how he got that far if he was such a difficult person to deal with. After only two weeks, they decided it was best to medicate my son into compliance, which I voiced was counter-productive. He didn't want to take drugs because he didn't want to risk a new addiction. They didn't care and said he had to or he was out of the program, so despite our concerns, my son agreed to take them so he could finish the program. Soon after, I learned that something may have happened to my son before going there that would require immediate medical attention, so I called and informed a nurse on staff about the situation. I received no follow up call in regards to this extremely important issue. I did get a call, however, about my son wanting to leave again because he didn't like the meds they were insisting he take and again I was informed about his offending someone. I talked him into staying yet again, my irritation at the situation evident. He said he read all my letters I had sent him and told his therapist he wanted to stay and finish since he only had 18 days. She called me and said that even though my son wanted to stay and would comply with the meds, he was out. He offended someone in the community and because of that, the staff felt unsafe taking him out olus he didn't listen to staff. Basically he was being a normal teen. She had called at just after 4:30 and wanted him picked up by 10 am, 12pm the latest because everyone would be gone at that time. Mind you, the contract allows 24 hours to pick up your child. We were given maximum of 18 hours to pick him up because it was more convenient for them (breach of contract right there) and they knew we had a 5 hour drive just to get there. His therapist didn't even bother to tell my son herself. She sent someone else to deliver the news and not once did anyone mention the medical issue I had called about. I asked my son and he said that a nurse had told him a referral would be sent to the Doctor who would contact him. It ended there. When his therapist wrote the unsuccessful discharge, she said my son was insistent on leaving and was being discharged. She did not mention that he had changed his mind and his discharge was solely her decision. In my opinion, their answer seems to be to drug the kid into submission or kick them out when they become too difficult for them handle. And their supposed to be trained professionals who should be able to handle the situation. Let's face it, an addict isn't going to be a polite child who has no issues and does everything their told. There will be some amount of conflict, especially in the beginning. I don't recommend this place if you have a child who has a real need for help.
