Reviewers frequently praised the facility for saving their lives and described the staff as caring, professional, and remarkable. However, some reviewers criticized the program's perceived over-reliance on medication-assisted treatment and its lack of holistic approaches or sufficient emphasis on 12-Step programs. Others reported feeling abandoned after being discharged or denied treatment without clear explanation.
