Client Review on Discovery Institute

Feedback:

Please, find another facility who will truly care about your recovery! This place needs to be investigated. I had a loved one enter this facility of his own volition due to a prescription medication addiction. All seemed okay until he transferred from detox to recovery. He had only 4 group meetings in 4 days and was made to spend the vast majority of his time sitting in his room, access to the TV room was denied after the first few days with no reason given. Meals were skipped, phone calls and visitations were denied. The few phone calls allowed had a counselor ready to disconnect the call if anything was said not to their liking. The clients are made to take sleep aids at bedtime. Many of the staff are extremely condescending or ignore clients altogether. When he had finally had enough and decided to seek treatment at a better facility, they attempted to detain him against his will. When that wasn’t going to work because another family member was waiting to take him, the director for recovery proceeded to yell and curse at both him and my other family member, telling him that she hoped he relapsed and overdosed! There is much more that, unfortunately, is too much to write for this forum. But take my advice and do not use this facility, it’s not a good place.
