Review for Recovery Ventures Corporation, Black Mountain, NC, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

When i was in detox and i watched the video for this place,i thought for sure it was legit. Well when i got there it was nothing like they said. The woman's staff verbally,mentally,emotionally abuse their associates. They want you to think that they are all u have and basically cut all communications off with your family. There is no therapy nor do u get positive feedback. At one point they had me convinced that my family didn't want to help with my meds,and in reality the staff members were constantly trying to get money from them,and that's when my family did their own research and realized it was all a scam. I was there for 2 months and all i did was work and on top of that i was in there for alcohol and one of my jobs required me to work around alcohol. I saw so many women leave in the middle of the night. I finally got to see my family in December on family day and when they got there my soon to be mother in law asked me did i want to come home and i left,my leader came to the car telling to get out of the car and i said no,i felt more broken down in there. There is no positive reinforcement,all i ever saw was women being broken down and treated with no respect. They will take away your selfworth and make u feel like your not worth anything. I have been home since December and have maintained my sobriety,i have been sober for 6 months. I do have to say i did meet one woman in there and she was one of my leaders,i can honestly say if all the staff members were like her i garuntee most of us would of nevered left.
