If you are looking for help with your addiction then you are looking at an amazing place.let me tell you the success rate is 92 percent which is astounding. Basic 30 day rehab success rate is 3 percent. This place will help you get back on your feet, help you become who you use to be, help you learn to get back to the regular world and save your life. The staff are absolutely wonderful. This is a government funded program that is why you will read on here about the "high turn over" what it is, is that they give people out of college (or people that need more experience) the hours they need to complete state requirements. Each and everyone goes through a very intense training to make sure they meet the standards and needs of the patients and laws. once the counselor reaches their hours they will move onto something like mental health in yuba city to get a variety of experiences under their belt. We have counselors that have been there for over 10 years so they do have counselors that stay.it is a government run program so they can accept the most common insurance which is medical (and others) and cash paying patients (at an affordable cost. If this were a private practice 90% of people would not afford this treatment )There are rules at this clinic of course like the review you see on here, you have to do a required random urine test once a month or more if they feel like it is needed(depending on your treatment plan you might have to do s random breath test for alcohol once a month or whenever they feel like needed) if you are paying with insurance (like medical) you have counseling once a week for an hour and 1 class a week which is an hour (they provide the classes with different counselors, different subjects, different styles and lots of different hours to meet your needs). The counseling is great because they 1. See through your bull crap that all of us addicts will try on them in our early recovery. 2. Will give you every resource you need if it is something they can't help you with. 3. Will give you their all. The classes are great also, it is nice to be with other people going through the same thing as you and can learn from all the different experiences. Depending on your treatment plan (you have to remember everybody is different and will progress differently) but the basic rule of thumb is after you give 3 months of clean urine test you can start to receive a take home (meaning you will have the medication to take home with you to take the following morning and do not have to show up at the clinic that morning) . the building is a little out of date but 1. Like I said this is a goverment funded program so they don't have all the money in the world to spend on fancy offices. 2. The building will be moving to a much more up to date office in probably December which will be much larger, nicer and more able to have more patients. You will hear people complain like any place. The most common complaints will be that sometimes you will have a little bit of a wait in the lobby (which I have to say everyday I am in and out within 10 min. ) you just have to make sure if you have work or Dr. App or something to get there plenty of time just like any appointment. You might hear people complain about strict rules. The reality is the rules aren't strict. If you do your basic things (show up to counseling which the counselor will work with you to meet your schedule and classes, and pass your urine test) then you won't have any issues. Some people tend to forget what it is like to function in a normal world were have rules to protect ourselves and others. You might hear some people say something like " they won't give you your medication until after your counseling on the days you actually have counseling" that will only happen if you do not show up several times with no phone explaining why. I learned that if there are complaints they are complaints from mainly people who are not obeying the basic rules. This place will save your life. You just have to show up and try it. I beg you to try it. Save your life.
