RECO Institute

It is my understanding that the management has changed recently in this place and this is what is causing the majority of the problems. Chris is the «Clinical Director». It is my understanding that this was his wife’s role and when she left he assumed the position. Regardless, my daughter went to this half way house after leaving a 30 day treatment program in the same area (let me just say her stay at the 30 day program was great) however the half way house left us with many thoughts and feelings about them. They pride themselves on being different from the other half way houses because they provide upscale housing. Well in my experience with them they are just like a lot of other «flop» houses in that area. While our daughter was there one of her roommates relapsed on her medication (which by the way the clients administer to themselves) by taking the entire bottle of neurontin and threatened our daughter for «snitching» on her. Although our daughter was afraid for her safety they allowed the girl to stay. They did not send the girl who took the overdose back to detox for almost 24 hours after she took the pills. She was not taken to the hospital nor were the authorities called.. If you are looking for a place to get sober and stay sober you might want to look further. If you are looking for nicely furnished homes and a IOP with some good amenities Reco will probably be good. It is very sad that these programs are so money hungry that they will do anything to keep every Insurance $ they can despite the persons life being at stake. Drug Addiction and Alcoholism can be deadly. Please do not put your loved one or yourself at stake by getting caught up in materialistic views. yes the place looks decent, but walk into the IOP one day unannounced. The majority of their clients looked high as heck every time. Also I heard that this place was a totally different place 1 year ago. I was told that when management changed the institute also changed. The counselors are sub par at what they do and I saw more eating lunch and smoke breaks then sessions taking place. I would highly recommend you call a service that can link you up with more options for half way housing. There are many resources available to help you find a place that will meet all your needs. When I found them I went based on the reviews on sites such as this however most of the reviews were from 2013 back. I wanted to put this review on here so that I might save someone else $ and time. Do not just settle for what looks good. They have hardly any supervision. The house mother comes at 10am and 10pm she is there for about 30 minutes each visit. PLEASE FOR YOUR LOVED ONES SAKE KEEP LOOKING
