Unity Chemical Dependency

“The staff were amazing and very patient. As long as you are willing to get better, the experience is great. There were a few hiccups with situations but that tends to happen around lots of people. The men and woman are separate and hardly interact which is also greatly appreciated.”

“My experience was it was a very decent facility.The staff seems to really care. I had a amazing counselor casssandra weaver that lady believed in me and really had legitimate concern for her work load as well as other people’s case load.she restored my belief in humanity.I don’t talk to her as often as I would like but she always made time when and if I needed it.Being African American and her occasion I Thought I would face racism Total opposite.wherever her and her cat Missy are God bless her soul professionalism Along with the QUEEN WHO RUNS THE PLACE LACY WHO FIGHTS FOR US HER AND DAVE BEHIND THE SCENES.THE FOOD WAS OKAY.CP”

“I have been with unity chemical dependency for a while now. All of the staff in outpatient and the majority of staff in inpatient are compassionate and were essential for my recovery. My outpatient therapist is always ready to listen and give incredible support and resources. I don't think I would be in recovery if it weren't for my therapist, Sam. My life has been saved. I have improved my quality of life, as well as my relationships. I highly recommend unity chemical dependency for those who struggle with addiction. If you are committed to changing your life, this program and staff will do everything to support you.”

“Due to an unfortunate incident in my life I turned to Unity Health Chemical Dependency center in Greece for therapy and help. The staff at the front desk was welcoming and helpful but that was the high point from my experience there. From the initial evaluation to the group therapy sessions everything seemed rushed and they were trying to get as many people in the groups for counseling as possible, regardless of their situation or background (this is a for profit entity after all). The counselors are very young, right out of college and very inexperienced. Multiple times throughout my sessions here my counselor had to check with her supervisor, was not sure how to handle situations and give meaningful feedback. While I have nothing against the younger counselors, this is NOT the place nor time in your life you want some who is this inexperience and inept giving you help and advice. Many other group members noticed this as well and took advantage by creating many distractions to get us off topic and focus less on helping us. I strongly encourage anyone one looking for alcohol abuse or addiction issues to look elsewhere for treatment. The counselor recommended addiction therapy which meets 3 nights a week for 3 hours each night. I sought a second opinion in which I was warned of the ramifications I will face due to dropping out of the recommended "treatment". The recommendation of a different counselor was no treatment AT ALL. I cannot believe how huge of a waste of money and time this place was. SECOND to Michael Schneider: I was forced to get evaluated, this place was recommended unfortunately and due to the lack of experience and fully inept counselor misdiagnosis led me down a path of completely wasted time and resources. Now, this may not be the case for everyone, but why risk it? Every counselor I came in contact with was a year or two our of college with extremely limited experience. One of the counselors I found out later actually works as a bartender part time. Can anyone tell me how that works? An alcohol abuse counselor who is preaching abstinence is bar tending?? This place is so backwards and money hungry it still upsets me that so many people are still being taken advantaged of.”
