Although the alum found the ACTS facility lacking in security and expressed only moderate satisfaction with its cleanliness and maintenance, the alum offered four- and perfect five-star ratings for the staff’s level of training and experience and the program’s affordability. The wait time for services was the only weakness cited. </p> <p>Feedback on Google for the 56th Street and Henry Avenue ACTS facilities also leaned positively. A total of seven individuals contributed to an <strong>average rating of 3.9 out of five stars</strong>. Two alumni criticized the facility, one for poor communication and the other for drug screening procedures, while two others praised the program’s testing services.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Neither of the two loved ones polled to date by Rehabs.com would recommend ACTS to others. One reported receiving no follow-up direction or support for their relative after detox, and both awarded just one star apiece for the facility’s cleanliness and opportunities for family participation in treatment.</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>Eight former and current employees reviewed ACTS Tampa facilities on Indeed, with mixed opinions for the facility. Staff tended to express <strong>respect for fellow team members and their clients</strong>, but more than half reported some form of <strong>under-staffing or poor supervision practices</strong>, which created unhealthy environments. In a representative review, one former employee wrote: “Many of the staff there are underpaid and overworked."<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Agency for Community Treatment Services is a private, non-profit organization which offers <strong>a sliding fee scale and accepts Medicaid</strong> and many major insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Sunshine State, according to its website.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/Uvp7x7" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/Uvp7x7</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Agency-For-Community-Treatment-Services,-Inc/reviews?fcountry=US&floc=Tampa%2C+FL" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Agency-For-Community-Treatment-Services,-Inc/reviews?fcountry=US&floc=Tampa%2C+FL</a></small></p>
