A common point of praise among alumni was the skill and compassion of the staff. Though most reviewers spoke highly of the treatment effectiveness, several complained of insufficient counseling options and poor holistic offerings. These sentiments were reflected in the five alumni who evaluated more specific metrics of the facility:</p> <blockquote> <p>Staff Experience and Training: 4.4/5 <br /> Holistic Offerings: 2.2/5<br /> Counseling Options: 2.2/5</p> </blockquote> <p>Opinions were split on the quality of meals as well as exercise and leisure options. However, the five alumni felt positive about referring the facility to others,</p> <blockquote> <p>Likelihood to Recommend: 4.2/5</p> </blockquote> <p>In a representative review, one anonymous alum wrote, "Informative classes, nice counselors. No holistic approach or exercise. Not much for activities. Cafeteria type meals, not very good or substantial."</p> <p>On Google, four alumni all gave five-star reviews.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> "The staff is wonderful and very concerned about your well being," Nick wrote in the only commentary left on Google, echoing the sentiments of many alumni surveyed by Rehabs.com. </p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Feedback from eight loved ones surveyed by Rehabs.com to date was split between <strong>five critical reviews and three positive reviews</strong>.

"A loved one of mine was forced to endure a daily lack of respect...He was treated like a criminal rather than an individual in treatment," W. wrote in a representative review</p> <p>The two individuals polled extensively by Rehabs.com granted higher ratings than alumni for family participation and holistic offerings, though opinions of staff experience were mixed.<br /> One anonymous loved one wrote that there were "amazing caring doctors" but added that the facility "needs better trained entry lvl staff."</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Treatment costs are not published on the Morris Village or South Carolina state website, but the facility does report that services are offered regardless of an individual's ability to pay. Many insurance plans are accepted, but not Medicaid or Medicare. The seven individuals polled on the matter offered mixed opinions concerning the facility's cost.</p> <blockquote> <p>Affordability: 3.1/5</p> </blockquote> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=morris+village+alcohol+and+drug+addiction+treatment+center&oq=Morris+Village+Alcohol+and+Drug+Addiction+Treatment+Center&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i60l2j0.870j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x88f8af54562ecba9:0x51a72aa1b753ffc2,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p>
