When you first come in and if you withdrawing really bad they let you lay in your room for the first couple days with no consequences. You have 4 smoke breaks a day each lasting 10 minutes. It's a women's only facility. You are kept busy with group classes and counseling. They will take you to get a well woman's check up, eye exam. You are allowed to go to outside meetings after you are off orientation. Orientation last 3 days. They take you to the library once a week and you can get on the computer and check out books.
This is my first inpatient facility that I have completed a 30 day stay at. So I don't have a concrete comparison, however I have tried outpatient, and addiction councilors in the past. One thing that I think sets Synergy apart from other places at least in my situation, is they focus more on life balance and less on being an alcoholic. The classes are structured to where you can learn how to control anger, have healthy relationships that are positive and productive, and how the brain works so you know what kind of patterns to look for. Upon release I do feel equipped with tools that I didn't have before and I am on better terms with knowing myself and my family. I want to enjoy my life and the benefits that have prevailed from this program, and look forward to consistent changes and fun over the coming weeks.
I had a substance abuse evaluation with a very nice lady named Rita Mwangang the assessment counselor and she gave me some fantastic advice some for life and a lot for my health
