Kids Escaping Drugs Renaissance Campus

The program was not tolerant of behaviors related to addiction - they appeared only interested in "money", donations and earnings. The did not reimburse use for $100 in small bills they required as spending money for our son. They did not provide our child's address to an ambulance transport provider- not we are facing a bill sent to a collection agency. I am a nurse practitioner providing mental health and substance abuse treatment - I cannot endorse this program.

My daughter was in this facility twice when she 19 and 20. The first time she spent 6 months and the second time it was 5 months! She had the same counselor each time who became very familiar with both my daughter and us, her family. We were required to attend counseling and visitation, as a part of the program. Education and counseling were key to this program , not just for the addict but for the family as well, considering that addiction and recovery involves the whole family. My daughter is 23, and living a sober life full of ups and downs, but she puts her tools that shes learned to work for herself. I think that this facilitys strength lies in its understanding of the disease of addiction! I feel that the weaknesses of this facility arise in part from the lack of government funding. They are very community oriented and hold a telethon a couple times a year just to be able to offer the services that they do. They do the best with what they have! everyday! I thank God for the coping/life skills that she has learned from spending time in this recovery center!

Good groups No individual It was out in the country, away from my old environment. That helped a lot.

The counselors are very involved. Food, accommodations, the group therapy was awful It is the only minor treatment facility in the nearby area. I don't feel like it was worth the money.

THE STAFF NO WEAKNESSES. IT IS A VERY EFFECTIVE PROGRAM
