I had a very pleasant experience at TRV. Aside from being told things on the phone before admission the whole program was excellent. Most of the therapists are knowledgeable & understanding. The rooms were as expected, & the roommate situation was more than I could have asked for. I guess I got lucky bc others didn’t have the same to say. Housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired, especially in the bathroom, but since we keep up after ourselves it was tolerable. The food is great & options are given upon request if the menu isn’t to your liking. I made lifelong friendships and look forward to the IOP sessions upon my release. I learned so much about myself & through the family sessions my family understands me better. I could go on and on…

I don’t want to change anything I said before, just add to it. The fam sessions end when u leave, like it didn’t matter to TRV in the first place. The communication between staff/directors to patients is lacking in efficiency, guidance, & meticulousness. They have very scripted answers to FAQs that don’t always apply to specific situations. They act like they’re helping u to ur face but once u walk away they stop what they were doing & move on to the next shiny thing, leaving ur case incomplete. Upon discharge I was told things I shouldn’t have been told and NOT told things I needed to know. All weren’t important until it was too late to be rectified bc I had already left. My RXs had been filled & picked up, leaving me unable to fill them at my preferred pharmacy bc the insurance company said it was too soon to refill. I spent the first 3 hours on my 1st day home on the phone with & between 2 pharmacies and my insurance company. They set a cpl appts for me but then failed to tell me where to go & when. The app they told me to download has to have a credit/debit card on file before u can go any further to attend any video appts. My family called for days (with ROIs) & were sent to vm over & over, never spoke with a human, or left messages that I never received. People I was there with had paperwork that needed done (FMLA, SSI, Disability, lost driver’s license, etc) & it was neglected atrociously without remorse/apology, just excuses. If u plan on going to sober living, have a plan. They will let u discharge with no where to go no matter how long they made u stay for a “completion.” The AA/NA groups are great but only NA has frequent speakers so I had to choose to go to NA instead of AA to get the inspirational message speakers give. Although, Alyssa’s Bigbook study guide class is very good, and I have continued everyday, I did have to miss some of them bc I wanted to hear the speakers in NA. The other groups are great at making the point over & over so if u missed something the first few times, it’s ok bc u will be exposed to it a few more times. The info is useful & applicable to real life situations. U will not speak to a therapist more than once a week, the horses are only available to those that are IOP, church attendance & family visits are only offered to those in PHP, & the pool is not heated (“broken”). These are all things I discovered after I was admitted, & told otherwise on the phone. The techs are FANTASTIC!!! They’re helpful, kind, patient, & willing to do anything for their patients. but evidently have favorites. Luckily, I learned early on who those are & chose to go to the others that don’t seem to favor one patient over another. They do nothing when things are stolen, which only frustrated me more. Someone stole my fav hoodie out of the dryer, 2 coffee cups in 2 days, & had my bag gone into only to find my coloring pencils & 2 pens gone. Other people there experienced the same thievery & nothing was done abt it. They have cameras but I was told it takes too long to look back on the footage. If anything, I thought they would be interested in, at the very least, Identifying thief(s). Anyway, I’m still so grateful for my experience at TRV, & want to say thank u to all those that work there for the right reasons, u know who u are!
