Drug Rehab Centers in St. Petersburg, Florida

The Mustard Seen Inn has a long and venerated history. The Inn opened on April 15, 1987 at 505 Sixth Street South, St. Petersburg, in an old, two story firetrap of a building. The founder, Carole Atkinson, performed her duties from a wheelchair, typically working 16 hour days. Carole and a core group of passionate volunteers including Randy (Indiana), Donald (local) and Valerie (Palm Harbor) hustled each day to keep the doors open and the residents fed. Carole was the definition of resourceful. We collected dated foodstuffs, day old bread and expiring baked goods daily from Publix. Blankets, beds, mattresses, pot, pans, anything and everything, was donated, borrowed or purchased. The landlord was a local family that owned dry cleaning establishments. They gave the Inn many breaks on the rent, which we barely made each month.The Inn picked up residents from Pinellas County Jail, shuttled them to Inn, helped them get ID, jobs, teeth, clothing and sobriety. I believe it was 1989 when the Inn secured a HUD Demonstration Block Grant for transitional housing to insure their existence for another two years.Although the Inn has undergone several changes in location and management over the years, it is my hope to commemorate the many wonderful people that founded The Mustard Seed Inn nearly 37 years ago on more than thoughts and prayers, but on blood, sweat and tears as well as genuine compassion for those suffering from addiction. They made their vision a reality and provided succor and comfort to the thousands of residents, family and friends of the Inn.

This place....... Honestly didn't know what to expect when I signed up. I had looked into them for over a year. You want an honest to God review like the one I needed to see. I've been on opiates since 16. I'm 33 now. Well as addictions do over the past 16 years the dose went up and up and up. I was staring to buy 100 pills(Pressed) every 2-3 days. Now when I read it I think ok some guy has been using a bit and can't stop. I consumed so many just to wake up, just to function and to sleep. It was almost like having a predator shadowing your true self. Now nolone to talk about myself but I believe I'm a pretty straight up guy, would help most people if crossed paths, but having this, like living in a shadow of your self. Your you, just altered in a way in which now you can't quit or everything will fall down......... Sorry this review is for ANR IN FLORIDA. Just wanted to give some background for compression. They talk to you in a way that made me so comfortable. Would never normally call and talk to sometime about my problem but this place is different. Had the procedure SEP/17/24. HAVE Never been this many days without a thought of taking a handful of pills. It's still early and I got some work to do on myself but now I can. This will TRANSPORT you right past all of it. The only work you have to do is take care of yourself properly. Good diet [was a little challenging for me at first, was really difficult to feel hunger], exercise. Thank you to The Doctor and nurses for not only getting me through something I didn't know you could honestly really leave but for being compassionate. If you feel you tried, and can't get through it, this is the only place to come. And with all things do your research.LIFE NOTE - Probably would not have made it without these guys. Wish me luck on my travels,5
