SCADD, Inc

If you are looking for recovery, this is not the place. After being haphazardly processed by arguing staff (including the belittling of a female by a toxic black male), I felt like an animal being released into a cage. This place is akin to a homeless community as you are locked out of your living quarters during the day, residents roam with backpacks with access to only 2 1 man bathrooms that always have lines to use! I was still having terrible withdrawal symptoms & chose to spend my time sitting by myself for nearly three days without food or sleep. A doctor prescribed me a medication that threw my body into precipitated w/d's & I was ambulanced off the grounds after having hallucinations and a seizure. I found out that I had a blood infection (not found by scadd medical staff!?) and spent a week in ER recovering & to top it off alot of my property was stolen.

My experience at Lebanon pines was an interesting one. First, I will briefly describe the program and then I will go into my personal experience. The program consists on a day to day basis of breakfast at 5:45, roll call at 7:15, 2 hr process group, lunch at 11:30, a 2 hr work assignment (either maintenance or kitchen), dinner at 4:30, roll call at 5:15, a 2 hr psycho-educational group at 5:30, a mandatory outside speaker AA meeting on Mondays and Thursdays, snack at 9, and lights out by 10:30. Friday is all day work therapy, and the weekends are mostly all to yourselves. There are, as explained previously, only 2 mandatory meetings a week, but you can participate in daily client run meetings such as DRA (dual-recovery anonymous), GSA (Gay-support anonymous), and both AA and NA. These are the meat and potatoes of the program, since the process and psych-ed groups are basically worthless in terms of therapeutic benefit. My clinician was Mary Jones, a complete sweeth

This "rehab" facility is poorly ran and offers little therapeutic value to men who are brand new to recovery. Tim Grant, the longest tenured counselor at the Pines, is an insensitive slacker on a power trip who works there to do nothing more than unjustly criticize his clients in public forums as he sits back and collects a paycheck. I can understand budget issues, but half of the security guards are immoral crooks looking to make money off of clients through smuggled contraband. Although there are many good people employed at Lebanon Pines, ex. Tim Garfield & Gene, the facility as a whole fails to deliver on it's goal of helping to address the needs of men sustaining a plan for long term recovery.

From a visitors point of view I would say that I was treated nicely by all staff except for a female counselor. She spoke to me very rudely like I was less than her. Not professional behavior to talk to someone who came for a visit. Everyone else was very nice and the program seems to be helping the client i went to visit. Im just bothered by how i was spoken to.

I love this place because my Counselor there Ms.Mary Jones cares about helping clients..She gives all she have into helping the clients learn to love themselves. ..I am so very blessed to have graduated from there..Now I am living a life that God intended me to have..Thank You Ms.Jones...Special K....

I have completed 11 years of sobriety thanksvto the Pines..Edsel was.my counselor and he wasngreat..but mostly I needed to be away from everything and the 90 day stay provided a solid detox..Ivwssxa self pay and $1800 a month was a deal...the place is old and buildingv1 for new arrivals smells like asd because of the chemicals coming out ofbus but no doubt the Pines savrd my life

Awesome place to work , plus it’s a very beautiful setting with lots for the guys to do in a structured way . If your serious about recovery and want a nice peaceful environment, this is the place for you.

Some if the staff are disrespectful... I wouldn't refer this place to anyone
