While a <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">dual diagnosis track</a> is provided, Keenan House is not able to accommodate clients with uncontrolled psychiatric conditions. </p> <p>Frequent <strong>psychoeducation and group therapy sessions</strong> address such topics as addiction awareness, grief and trauma, decision-making, life skills, sexuality and addiction, nutrition, and parenting. Most residents attend a <strong>three-week vocational education class</strong> and obtain employment while enrolled at Keenan.</p> <p>TTI’s veterans track prioritizes <strong>identifying and treating PTSD</strong>.

On Google, Keenan House received a rating of 1.9 out of five stars, based on feedback from 14 individuals. <strong>About half the written comments referred to a majority of counselors as unprofessional</strong>. Others indicated that programming was not helpful in recovery, with one describing it as “adult daycare.” </p> <p>By contrast, on the Keenan House alumni association Facebook page, just four of 24 ratings for the facility were for fewer than four or five out of five stars. <strong>Several alumni agreed that the program’s success required commitment</strong>, while praising counselors for their investment in clients’ recovery.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The one loved one polled by Rehabs.com to date indicated that they would recommend the program to others, but did not feel included in their husband’s treatment. The reviewer awarded four or five out of five stars for all but two of 15 metrics measuring various aspects at Keenan House, including treatment for co-occurring disorders, the facility’s cleanliness and upkeep, the staff’s level of training and experience, and affordability. Family participation and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/forums/discussion/7265/what-is-holistic-treatment-and-how-can-it-help" target="_blank">holistic offerings</a> received three stars apiece.</p> <p>The three loved ones reviewing Keenan on Google tended to agree with criticism of <strong>overly restrictive communication</strong> and visits. On Facebook, both reviews submitted by loved ones were positive, citing “good people” and effective treatment “if you take it serious.”</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to the Treatment Trends, Inc., website, Keenan House clients are typically funded by their county’s drug and alcohol agency or the criminal justice system. Income from client jobs held during treatment is applied to court, medical, and incidental living costs.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=treatment+trends+keenan+house&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS725US725&oq=treatment+trends+keen&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j69i60j69i64.3705j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x89c4397ccb5fcb1d:0x61abc6c7b2b5b7d6,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/Keenan-House-Alumni-Association-165799270223299/reviews/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/Keenan-House-Alumni-Association-165799270223299/reviews/</a></small></p>
