Caron Philadelphia Outpatient Treatment Center

“I was a client about 10 years ago under Aly Ries at her previous sober living job. If she was good friends with you, she would not administer the weekly drug test for that person and as a result we had a girl dealing and using heroin out of her (shared) bedroom. Years later, I attended Caron and was equally disappointed. Despite paying thirty thousand dollars upfront and me being 20, they put me in the adolescent unit where I shared a room with a 14 year old. This was 10 years ago, but it was so impactful I would never recommend Caron to anybody. If you are willing and able to pay 5 figures for treatment, this is the wrong place. Avoid.”

“I feel very fortunate to have landed at CARON. We’re still paying off some expenses that the insurance company did not offer but well worth the money. Coming up on one year sober May 29. I couldn’t have done it without Karen for 56 days, the Iop for months, the Monday zoom women’s literature meeting, looking forward to the Alumni events, and maybe even the talent night. With a year of sobriety under my belt soon, I will be applying for jobs at Caron. I’d like to get back in someway and I have some ideas about how to do that!”

“I am writing to give an update about my experience in this facility. I went there because the facility advertised itself as a specialty trauma center. I did all the work, never had a problem with anybody, and nobody ever told me that I was doing poorly in my treatment. Never. The day before I was to leave, my counselor ("Sarah") ambushed me with a lawyer and tried to pressure me to enter another Caron facility in Florida for $75,000 a month (that is not a typo). I immediately shut them down, revoked my releases, and left the facility. I am an attorney, and there is no question in my mind that Sarah's gaslighting and manipulating reflects a fundamental misunderstanding about boundaries and a lack of training in professional ethics. That is only the beginning. Even though I revoked my release, Sarah contacted my wife and told her I was "not ready" to come home, which was utter garbage. My wife moved out of the house, told my kids to stay away from me, and i returned to an empty home where I was literally abandoned when I needed help the most. I almost killed myself. This was my experience with Sarah at Caron PA.”

“I worked with Caron in helping a family member seek treatment. I've never dealt with people who genuinely care so much about the well being of their patients. The councilors were always accessible, knowledgeable, and understanding, even at odd times or weekends. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. After dealing with multiple rehab centers over the years, I highly recommend Caron for anyone who would like the help in getting their life back. They went above and beyond for my family in every aspect and I could not be more grateful.”
