My Nonprofit Reviews

I am astounded by the so-called "treatment" that RVC attests to. RVC is at best a scam. At worst, they are simply a facade that pretends to help you while exploiting the very vulnerable clients that they profess to be helping. If you decide to go there, you should be expected to be treated like a modern-day slave. The correlations between the rules of RVC correlate exactly to the rules of any other cult. As an "associate", you should be prepared to be stripped of all personal belongings - even if you brought those belongings in exact accordance to their rules. One of the reasons that there is "no cost" is because RVC lines their pockets by literally stealing from their "associates".

"Treatment" at RVC consists of extreme sleep deprivation, lack of contact with family, and severe punishment for any honest expressions of how you feel. You are required to rat on friends - even if you have no problem with them, or expect more punishment. The program thrives on friends betraying each other.

It is extremely sad to me that RVC represents itself as a last resort for families and those suffering from a serious disease. They prey upon the most desperate for help, just as others prey on desperate cancer patients. They know you will do anything for help and will exploit those they claim to help. The only reason they want you is to steal from you and to take wages for the work you are required to do while you're there.

I am writing because I want people to know that there are so many legitimate places to get help for substance abuse treatment. Don't let anyone tell you that you will fail - no matter how many times you have tried before. RVC haves no legitimate treatment for you and they offer no such treatment of any kind. 12- step groups is not even a part of their repertoire.

Families - please don't subject yourselves to this scam. I urge you to seek help from legitimate professionals. The worst harm that RVC does by pretending to help is that they prey on the most vulnerable people. Addiction is literally a matter of life and death. I pray that you do not put your lives in the hands of this corrupt organization.
