<p><strong>ABOUT PATHWAY SOCIETY INC. –– MARIPOSA LODGE</strong></p> <p>Mariposa Lodge is a rural Santa Clara County addiction rehabilitation center operated by Pathway Society, a nonprofit community-based organization founded in 1964. <strong>The 34-bed women’s facility offers residential detoxification</strong> treatment and services to support each client’s desire to a pursue responsible and productive life free from drugs. Pathway Society also provides individual and family counseling, outpatient treatments, and opportunities for transitional housing through its downtown San Jose location.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Clients participate in individualized treatment plans developed during an initial on-site assessment. <strong>Family involvement in the recovery process is important</strong> and loved ones are welcome to accompany residents to their intake appointment. According to the facility’s website, Pathway Society is committed to helping individuals get the care they need at all levels and the program’s staff works with mental health practitioners, primary care physicians, therapists, and other treatment programs in the community. During their stay at Mariposa Lodge, <strong>women have access to assistance with medical questions</strong> and assistance working out insurance coverage. Little information about specific treatment methods was available at the time of this writing.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility’s website regarding its treatment staff. However, data available from a variety of sources indicates that alumni were generally pleased with staff experience and treatment. <strong>Metrics measuring staff support and the client’s individual counselor received four and five out of five-star ratings</strong> from two alumni polled by Rehabs.com. Jean, an alum noting in a HealthGrove review that she spent 60 days at Mariposa Lodge, wrote that the staff “understand because they themselves have been where we are.”<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Photographs featured on the facility’s website show a <strong>homelike building in a rural setting with palm trees and picnic tables</strong>. Two alumni polled by Rehabs.com rated the lodge’s accommodations and cleanliness with four out of five stars. Alumni also confirm that the facility’s marketing materials hold true. J.C. wrote: “its in the mountains and the food is awesome.”</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Although accommodations received largely positive reviews from alumni, information gathered from Rehabs.com surveys reveals <strong>conflicting opinions about the structure and efficacy of treatment</strong> at Mariposa Lodge. One anonymous alum wrote that she left the program early, citing lack of treatment for her dual diagnosis. However, another alum rated the quality of co-occurring treatment with four out of five stars.</p> <p>Alumni comments included both success stories and relapse. Jackie wrote: “I had a 38 yrs in my addiction and went to this program and I learned so much there that you can have fun being clean and sober,” adding that she had <strong>returned to the facility to share her recovery story</strong> with new residents. Sharing an opposite experience, another alum wrote anonymously: “I didn’t stay sober.”</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Reviews from friends and family members are limited. One of three loved ones responding to Rehabs.com surveys highlighted the program’s ineffectiveness for her family member who stayed just one day, writing: “Family member was just permitted to walk out.”</p> <p>Another loved one gave several amenities and services one or two stars out of five but rated overall treatment effectiveness a three and indicated they would recommend the program. The same described opportunities for family involvement, writing: “Sunday was family day and sometimes during the week they had a movie night with your significant other.”</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>R.T., a registered addiction specialist and former staff member polled by Rehabs.com, indicated they had worked for the treatment center 10 or more days but would not recommend the program to a friend or family member. Citing “Very limited individual counseling” as a weakness, the respondent gave only one out of five stars for overall quality. Ratings for addiction and mental health staff experience were higher, at four stars each.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to the facility’s website, it serves “people from all walks of life,” accepting insurance and working with the Santa Clara Valley Department of Alcohol and Drug Services to provide financial assistance to the uninsured. One alum review on Rehabs.com indicated that their treatment was covered by state support.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="http://treatment-facilities.healthgrove.com/l/15170/Pathway-Society-Inc" target="_blank">http://treatment-facilities.healthgrove.com/l/15170/Pathway-Society-Inc</a></small></p>
