Certain staff had a strong ability to relate to my experience and were able to understand my situation.
So I feel it is a responsibility to weigh in on Caron Treatment Center. Our loved one (20 yr old male) had developed a very high level opioid pill addiction as well as major heavy weed issue. He had been living outside our home - by our request - from the time of HS graduation. When after 3 yesr he told us he needed help and had an addiction, we had the card ready and when he came by our house (having been homeless for 2+ months) we handed him a Caron intake phone number and said "if you are serious, call them". He made the call and the resistance to the challenge and program began near immediately. He threatened to leave Caron PA and never did...he made it through the 30 days and was honest but mostly uncommunicative while there. On the last day, he agreed to go to an extended care (Caron Florida). Much tougher and challenging for the addict I understand. We visited with him 2 months in for 24 hours and still fighting resisting and slowly very slowly coming around a bit. It can take a while for 6 years of mental and physical dependence on drugs begin to allow more clear drinking. My wife and I had been attending a Caron Family support meeting in our local community for over a year before our son came home and asked for help. We knew we had a sick patient, who would not even acknowledge he was ill. So when he did make that statement - we were prepared. We listened to Caron suggestions and followed their program. We had to work on our own addictions and co-dependency as a family and that was obvious. We have 2 other college aged kids who witnessed the carnage that addiction delivers to a family. Our experience is that Caron has helped us as a family heal tremendously. Our loved one continues on in Florida and even extended a bit to work on some areas that he acknowledged were needed. We dont work his sobriety program - he does....we just work on our own health. Caron is very challenging and at times the process of addiction recovery is frustrating. I don t lay that at Caron, its just messy stuff. We are not cars that just need an air filter to run better - we are people and lots of damage has been done. You do not undo year's of damage in 3-90 days, but you begin to.....that is the key.....I wish you the best on your family journey and would give Caron an A. Why.....they gave him a shot, an education, and some hope....much of the rest is up to him. That is the reality people.
My stay at Banyan was very effective and I learned a lot about myself. The therapists are really great and take a lot of time processing information both individually and in a group setting. The most amazing people were the techs, they were always there to chat whenever you needed someone to talk to. They also went out of there way to make everyone comfortable. Even when my family came for visits, the staff went above and beyond to make everyone welcome and put a table in the room so everyone could comfortably sit and had toys for my niece and nephews to play with while I was talking with my family. I could not have asked for a more caring team!
