Discovery Point Retreat

The facility, the accomadations, the meals, the treatment are all a scam...I entered the facility and found that none of the advertisements including their website are true. The salesman, Jimmy, who I was contacted by for preliminary consult was a bold faced liar, telling me, the room I would be in has 2 beds when in fact there was 4, the chefs he said would prepare the meals turned out to be all fast food serviced for all meals, the Dr. consults were all via teladoc, my first night they gave me valium to help me sleep, and when I checked in they were going to do my blood work which didn't happen. The young lady that did my checkin was incompetent and I later found out she was actually a patient in rehab as well. The appearance and condition of the facility looks very different in a bad way than the pictures online and their videos. There didn't appear to be any supervision of the facility, patients were allowed to stay up all night and make noises where you can't sleep. The fast food meals were just put out on a table in sacks, and patients would grab as much as they could get in their hands, so you were lucky to get anything to eat unless you were very aggressive. I was threatened by one patient waiting on medications who had teardrop tattoos on his face and told me if I tried to get my meds before him we would have a problem.

DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED ONE HERE! WE WERE TOLD THEY HAD A ROOM, DROVE 2 HOURS PULL UP TO BE TOLD THEY ARE NOT TAKING OUR DAUGHTER AND WE NEED TO HAVE HER DETOX AT THE HOSPITAL! TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL TOLD SHE WILL DETOX THERE FOR 3-5 DAYS SO WE LEAVE. 2 HOURS LATER GETTING A CALL FROM MY DAUGHTER AND A NURSE FROM THE REHAB SAYING THEY ARE TAKING HER AN HOUR AND 1/2 AWAY TO A DIFFERENT DETOX FACILITY! OUR DAUGHTER WAS NEVER GIVEN ANYTHING FOR HER WITHDRAWLS AND HONESTLY DID NOT TRUST GETTING IN A STRANGE CAR TO BRING HER SOMEWHERE SHE HAD NO IDEA WHERE SHE WAS GOING. SHE WAS LEFT IN THE HOSPITAL PARKING LOT TO FEND FOR HERSELF AND WE COULD NOT GET HER TRANSPORTATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. SHE HAD HER BOYFRIEND GET HER A RIDE. sHE WAS IN THE PARKING LOT FROM 8:30 PM UNTIL 4:50 AM. NO CARES FROM THE REHAB SHE WAS TO BE A PATIENT AT. NOW WE ARE AT SQUARE ONE AGAIN! I DO NOT WANT THIS NIGHTMARE TO HAPPEN TO ANY OTHER FAMILY!

My son was at a place in his life that he was ready for help. DPR was able to give him the help he needed. I believe (from the time I visited) that the people at this facility truly cared about him - and that made it a lot easier on this mom. They also had family sessions where they answered our questions and sometimes just gave us the hug and encouragement that we needed.

They Accomadated every need for My Son from Day he made his decision to seek help. He flew to Texas and was picked up at the airport by staff. I was allowed to see him the very next day, visitation were just about over but they let us have a visit anyways. Rooms are spacious and may not be a facility as someone stated but the House is Large,spacious, clean, and just has that home,secure, quiet, inviting feel. The are is perfect quiet and serene. Therapy and couseling on site my son loved everything about the way the had control of everything that was in his best interest. The staff, The Chef, The People i always knew how his progress was coming along and even included in therapy sessions. My son understand about addiction,the triggers,the control and the reason and maintains his sobriety, contact with others that were also in treatment with him, He considers all of them as family. Everyone there made him feel so comfortable, important and loved. At check out it took us all day for him to get everything together because he was truly going to miss Everything and Everyone, ( The Food) The outings, The Therapy, The couseling . The Owners, Management, The Staff I commend on The excellent job they are doing The are all Truly a Blessing. Strengths: Their knowledge in all areas of helping everyone. Knowing exactly what each persons individual needs are from The addiction ,the emotional, therapeutic, dietary. Weakness: Sober Living facility. I think my son was probably sent to the worst one. Was told he had to have a job within 2 weeks or going to be kicked out while another individual was there before him, still there and still unemployed. My son working 3rd shift going to sleep at 6 a.m. was woken up anyways for meditation at 7 even though he just worked at 12 hour shifts ( inconsiderate) people were eating his groceries. And managers of the house had dogs and dog hair everywhere and were offended that he mention about the dogs being all over furniture. Cardinal House of Dalls/Garland definitely Not recommended and was really in awe that Discovery Point Retreat would even be affiliated with a place like that. That would be the only negative on them with me.

This place saved my life! I've tried other places before, but Discovery Point stood out from the rest. The staff TRULY cares about you & your recovery and I couldnt have asked for better people. Even the other patients went above and beyond to help me. If you're looking for a relaxing and peaceful place with great food, comfortable beds, cleanliness, and a REAL chance at recovery, look no further. I promise you wont regret it!
