The Meadows

They elongating private pay for longer stays while treating Tricare patients like a revolving state funded cash cow getting them in and out rather than respecting ethical therapeutic standards. Shout out to the CFO for keeping COGS down, revenue high

I was an inpatient of the meadows 8 years ago . It saved my life and my family. I was severely codependent and suffering from PTSD . Everyone single person at the meadows works together to heal and give you the tools to live a more meaningful life. Your peers are also part of your journey and recovery and support system. I still struggle and have to work hard at it . I’m grateful to g-d for giving me the chance and ability to have been a patient of the meadow and I try to continue to connect to all the wonderful alumni activities they have. Thank you g-d Thank you everyone at the meadows. Thank you my peers for saving my life and giving me tools to deal with life. Brenda S spring 2015

Family week is only for addicts in treatment. Family members are not able to truly share their stories truly. It’s all about the addict. No Followup. Very expensive. The dollars and mental to fly, rent car, hotel, your time, and mentally, do not go!

I went to the Meadows in 1977 and it saved my life. At the time to save costs it offered non of the amenities it offers now but was strongly influenced by the 12 steps of AA. You were required to complete the first three steps which are the most difficult and stressed the importance of meetings individual and group counseling . and we had no free time to swim , horseback ride but we learned all about the disease of addiction. Most loving and professional group of people I had ever met. All were in recovery and had Masters in Addiction Counseling. One of the things I was impressed with the most was that there was no repeaters as the thinking was that it made recovery.more difficult. Hard to make money on that model. Almost 40 years later the promises are alive for me and my Meadows alumni husband. Thank My Higher power as I do not understand it for this place and all the people I met there it works if you work it is the truth

I sent my 19 son the The Meadows. He went screaming and kicking with depression and mania episodes . I had tried everything else, years of therapy, Psychiatrists and different treatments. When I arrived for family week, my son met with with open arms and said “ thank you mom. This is the best thing you’ve ever done for me.” The Meadows had properly diagnosed him and medicated him. Yes, it was very expensive (especially for a single mother) but I thank them everyday. My son is now 25. He has taken full responsibility for his mental health since leaving The Meadows. He is a successful professional and speaks highly of his experience there. It literally saved his life and our family. Thank you to the amazing staff who helped him and helped me as well.
