New Beginnings Minnesota at Waverly

I've had been here a couple times in my life but the last time I was there was this last summer and it was not good. It has been taken over by Meridian and ever since then it is been on a downhill flight. If you look at employee reviews online Meridian Treatment Center is all across the US and are plagued with bad management into pieces of patience and constant investigations. I did not find this out until I was sexually abused by my mental health therapist for the past 5 months. It is left me in a very bad state, and I hope people like her get the help they need in the consequences they deserve. I honestly can't believe that background checks on people that are there too deal with people's most sensitive traumas are literally zero to none. Anybody can get a job manipulating vulnerable adults if they want. It's a very sad situation

Awesome Counselors ! Every single one I had had their own personalized way of teaching some great skills for coping and many other aspects of treatment and sobriety whilst keeping you interested because most of the personnel has gone through the same shit you have! I think that’s one of the most helpful aspects of this facility. Better than decent food, 15 minutes in between each group or “lesson”, so if you’re a smoker this is very important so you can squeeze in a quick smoke/Vape and still have enough time to swing by your room to grab or drop something off. - If I ever feel the need again that I’m headed in the wrong direction, I’m headed back here🙂

They were extremely influential on my life. Intensive therapy for all aspects of life. More individual therapy.

Great counseling

It was clean. Most of the staff were kind. Lack of any free time to take a nap or rest. It was hard to sleep at night when you had people coming in every hour to check to make sure you were in your room. There was one staff member that gave me the creeps and made me want to start drinking all over again. After 8 years he still creeps me out in my dreams.
