I have had the opportunity to serve some of the women in this facility by sharing the word of God. This facility is family oriented which I can appreciate. Jon and Stacy have always been very welcoming. I have witnessed their professionalism and I admire their love and commitment for the women in recovery.
I love it here at Providence. I have been fully accepted by the owners and fellow staff as family. Never once have I ever had to question my choice of coming aboard to providence. This has been a wonderful expirence and I am truly blessed to he here. Everything taught is evidence based and not once is anyones personal feeling shoved down anyones throat. Before coming here everyone is told that this is faith based but not once have I seen anyone trwat anyone unequal. I love it here!
This "non profit" may look great to those seeking the much needed care for this terrible disease...and to those who have thought it to be a wonderful experience...But to some, including myself it was a nightmare...If you are not accepted for whatever unknown reason they desire, your time here is hellish...Just the opposite of what is advertised as "Christian like". If you do not totally conform to their beliefs you are an outcast...Problem is your religious beliefs are not acceptable to them...You must totally commit to their way...which to me is hypocrisy at it's best...The scripture is read and recited in abundance...but the walk is not that of Jesus or I would not have felt so isolated...Make no mistake... I am a woman of faith...for I could NEVER ostrasize anyone...and make them feel so unwelcome in my presence....I am 2 1/2 years sober in spite of this program...I stayed only long enough to show my sons that I wanted more than anything to be well....because they and my grandchildren have always been my world...To no credit to John and Stacy Dorsey... I have become a better version of the person I was before my addiction...which began at 56...And I have always been a decent human being...I hope the Dorseys don't scoff at this review and take it to heart...I hope that they will embrace the women who turn to them at this most difficult time in their life...and include Everyone in the way that a program like this is designed for...
Just an added note...I think it was an abomination that they took every cent of my Social Security check and took absolutely nothing from others...They convinced my family to move me out of my apartment and I was not only left with nothing....my family was told to walk away...I understand that this could be part of the process with some...but it was not the best for me and my family in a time that was very difficult for all of us...We had lost my son David...and my son Dan was not dealing well with that and I had added to his health problems with my addiction...He was admitted to the hospital during my stay a PRC and in intensive care....I was never told of this and I cannot even begin to tell you my very heightened emotions...i.e. anger...This should never had been acceptable...don'ever do this to a mother....These people need to reevaluate their motives for this cause...Do they really care? I certainly hope so....
