Review for Recovery Ventures Corporation, Black Mountain, NC, USA
When I watched the video online I was so happy!! I had finally found a place for me!!!WRONG. This place is a joke and I would not reccommend it to anyone. Everything on the video is completely opposite. Once u get there they take all your belongings and send you out in public to work without makeup and in rags. Everything all the other negative commentators have said is absoutly TRUE!!!!! I couldnt have said it better myself. If you enjoy working and smelling like a dog and eating out of date rotten food then this is the place for u. Staff consists of previous clients who have kissed enough butt to get where they are now. I had a staff member repeadily say and I quote"I d ont do this for the money"". I say Yes u do. Do the math . I was there for over 90 days and followed every rule and couldnt wait to get out of there. If not for my roommate I dont know where I would be. I saw so many women escape during the night just because they couldnt take the abuse anymore. I have been in active addiction for the better part of my life and was truly hoping I had found the right place, needless to say I was very disappointed. I have managed to stay sober since leaving there and I look foward to entering a new program soon. Take my advice. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY MONEY. There is no therapy there. The time I was there I was counseled by PEERS and thats all. I have been in addiction longer than most of them have been alive. Cursing is an everyday allday thing. However they do refrain from namecalling until it is alloweed at their so called conflict resolution group. The final straw for me was when senior staff member called 2 associates a name I cant put on here. Take my advice and please please dont contribute to these peoples pocketbooks any longer. If the state is not investigating them they certainly need too.
