After detox at McLean hospital, I was homeless & very afraid to go to a shelter. My thoughts were still racing & I wanted to leave the hospital to continue drinking & drugging. Going to Naukeag was one active step for my recovery because it gave me more time to stabilize my meds & my anxiety. The staff at both McLeans/Nuakeag were all exceptional. I highly recommend it. I did have to wait for a detox bed which was hard but I stayed persistent calling them at least 2/3 times per day. McLeans helped save my life & they are experts at addiction & mental illness, which is the same thing.
Elevate Recovery Center truly changed my life. The intensive outpatient program provided me with the support I needed to overcome my addiction. The counselors are compassionate, understanding, and genuinely care about your recovery journey.
My son told me that he felt very welcome and cared for. He noted the sincere compassion displayed by the staff and an eagerness to help him to come to terms with his addiction and learn the tools that will equip him for a drug free life. I found that the facility was very well maintained and very clean! The facility exceeded my expectations.
