Reviewers frequently praised the caring and supportive staff, many of whom were noted to be in recovery themselves, and the facility's clean, attractive setting. Positive comments also highlighted the family program and the effective use of 12-step principles. However, some reviewers criticized the program's perceived over-reliance on insurance for determining length of stay, a lack of individual counseling, and inconsistent rules or aftercare planning.
