Review for Recovery Ventures Corporation, Black Mountain, NC, USA
I was at rvc for the past 6 months. Sure it works for people who have no other choice and no family because your under such strict rules you cannot get high even if you wanted to.. I worked 70 hours a week and slept about 4 hrs a night. The groups i went to arnt even run by staff. They are just throw together by associates who are all mostly probated there and dont care about anything.. The ones who do care end up leaving eventually.. As for staff members thats the worst part. Not a single staff member spoke to me the entire time i was there then it turns out that the one who runs the remodling crew was using heroin the entire time and bossing all of us around like slaves and verbally abusing people. He also was stealing the money we all worked for and using it to support his habbit. The facility director is the worst one of all he talks to everyone like they are a peice of garbage meanwhile his wife is leaving her empty liquor bottles in our driveway before she comes over to visit apparently that's OK tho because she's a graduate of the program lol.. The place is ran horrible and the favoritism is so bad it alone will make you leave.. The only thing that keeps them going is the fact that people go there to pretty much avoid going to prison..
6 Months???... in a program YOU ASKED US to come to... and agreed to spend 2 years, at NO EXPENSE to YOU, YOUR FAMILY, or NC State Tax Payers... to provide you with shelter, (Inspected and approved through the licensure division of the State of NC), food, clothing, transportation, job training, GED and educational opportunities, recreation and leadership opportunities. RVC, Does not accept CHILDREN. The last question on the application you filled out, signed and submitted... as a ADULT.... asked... "Are YOU willing to do whatever it takes to change you life?" Think about it. We don't care if you are going to PRISON or to the GRAVE. We are going to try to help if you ask. If you don't like the way we do it.... find something that works for you. Best wishes.
