Drug Rehab Centers in Exeter, New Hampshire

A mothers NIGHTMARE! That s what it feels like when you have a loved one dealing w/ mental illness compounded by legal use of THC. My adult child 23 ended up in this facility 2x. As a Social worker myself at first I was frantic, reading the reviews and 1st visit seeing that it was CO-ED. I was even skeptical about the medication protocol used for stabilizing. If you have a loved one here know that they are SAFE!!! The prescribing physician meets with and listens to the patient. The social worker listens , helps make realistic goals but not always what the patient wants to hear. My adult child made complaints , cursed out staff and family. It was so scary because I know first hand from working in a skilled nursing facility that staff are human and abuse by staff does and can happen. LISTEN carefully to any complaint a patient here gives. Most likely they are there against their will at first because they were a risk to themselves or others. It s NOT home and the staff are there every day with people that are at their worst! My sweet child was a terror and although some of her complaints were valid concerns they were exaggerated, twisted and misunderstood. Believe me some staff can have an attitude, some staff follow protocol while others may use discretionary judgement. If you have a concern talk to a supervisor ! Ask questions! Learn about the diagnosis and most like you will come to realize the lack of COPING SKILLS is what drives the majority of negative reviews. We are fortunate enough that we could afford a more luxurious facility and have access to many other options but due to a wait list and positive feed back about this facility from highly respectable professional in the field we chose to leave our adult child here until ready. The 3 day notice in place to prevent anyone from being institutionalized unnecessarily was constantly being used by my child every time they didn t get their way. I will say that my child was able to advocate for themselves in refusing one of the medications and knowing that in doing so they got themselves sanctioned due to threats (idle )of harming themselves or others. However after several days I finally had my child back. Without facility like this and staff that choose to work with patients suffering mental illness where would they go? Just know your loved one is safe!!! The non luxury amenities and institutional rules are made to keep everyone safe. It s not a retreat or vacationI am Grateful and thankful to this facility in helping get my child back! Special thank you to Wendy (the supervisor) All of the front desk receptionists that are so nice. Asunta the SW and Dr. Jessica Sweet and the BHT s that had to deal with my child God Bless

Great, transformative experience. The staff are very kind and attentive to the needs of their patients. Derek is awesome! Had an enlightening chat with him on the ride home
