there are plenty of bad reviews written about any treatment center, and there are some about new life. when i was there, there were a lot of court ordered fools just trying to ""do the time"" to satisfy the court who had no intention of getting help or trying to help others. you can bitch and moan about every little thing, OR, you can do what i did---
i got sober because i had too, for myself and for my child and for my family. NO, i didn't like it or enjoy it, NO, i did not like the most of staff, the food, the room, and most of the pitiful ignorants there wasting their life and others time, but i wasn't there for the atmosphere and camaraderie, i was there because i loved drugs more than i loved my child and i could not face living with the idea i would, not could, lose him because i was a total eff up and placing him in danger with my carelessness and disregard for his safety and well being.
as my subject line reads: it's what YOU make of it, you can piss away the time being as stupid as you were when you came in and leave just as stupid, or you can use the time to detox and make plans for your and your child's life without drugs. NO treatment center will change you, you have to change you, and i hope and pray that is what i have done.
