Place is horrible. Rooms are FREEZING, blankets are not even blankets (mine had holes in it from moths), springs in mattresses constantly hit your ribs, and more. There's not even a can to toss trash in! Staff is rude and unprofessional. One lady even refused to talk, but would instead, point for her responses at you, as if you're a child.
Food is garbage, and there is nothing to do there. No one expects steak and a swimming pool, but God, have SOMETHING to do there and SOMETHING edible! Have some weights there. One guy had to go to the floor and do push-ups for exercise.
Exercise is a great way to deflect the need to use; ALL places should have some weights or some sort of exercise. Most places do, but not them. They don't have weights, but lo and behold, they sure let the people out to smoke til the wee hours of the morning! Makes no sense at all.
They just expect you to get drugged up on sleep medication, force yourself to sleep in beds that are worse than beds for prisoners, and wake up to garbage food at 5 am, by a guy who waltzes in your room, whether you're in a man or a woman (which is sick), sit there in the waiting room until it's time for the breakfast bell, and then the "cattle" file through for their trays of slop. So degrading. Most people are using because they feel degraded as it is; shame on them for making people feel this way even more! This should not be a punishment; it should be a compassionate place of love and help.
The place should be shut down. So degrading to people, and they stick everybody in the same class. If someone is somewhat of an addict and using here or there, they don't care. They'll clump that same person with someone who is using daily and convulsing. They'll even guilt you, if you decide you don't want to be in their cave-like existence. It's sickening that a place assumes they're the only place that can help someone. Shame on them.
