The Woods at Parkside

This place saved my life!! my first time in Treatment and the therapeutic care I received was amazing; I had an opportunity to learn about ME and addiction. My counselor was amazing, the staff was loving and kind, and I gained weight from the food. I thank God above for this place! Granted there were others there who were not serious about getting well, and they're behaviors at time were a nuisance (young kids) but I was serious about recovery, and once I blocked the Bull out, I took advantage of all the tools this place provides. And I celebrate 5 months and 20 days of Sobriety today!!!!

It was good.

Horrible experience. Filthy dirty and AWFUL beds. I was told \"we don\'t want to make you comfortable because we don\'t want to see you back\" very negative counseling. Overall it was awful and I went on my own hoping to get help instead was treated like I was in jail.

If you are thinking of sending a loved one or going your self to get help...STAY AWAY! I am not joking or upset. I have been to many rehab places and this place is a joke! Not only was it very dirty there including mold on walls and shower curtains dirty bathrooms carpets was mold stained and smells holes in the walls and ceilings, the place is very unsanitary! Now about the staff...the staff uses the \"F\" work while in classes for one...another is, the counselors one has this problem where we meet in a room to have group and he falls to sleep!!! I asked what are we in this class today to learn...he went on to talk about the class we had about a half hour ago. How can Parkside have counselors working there that falls to sleep??? Another thing is, you get 4 1/2 to 5 hour sleep TOPS! Yes some people do need extra stay and help, but we do need our rest!!! Classes idea is super great, but they scream and yell at you and use the \"F\" word trying to scare you. NOT a good way to recover. I could go on and on about that place, but please, if you or your loved one truly wants help ...STAY AWAY FROM THERE!!! Do your research, find a place where they help people who truly wants the help. I might add here that all the staff there are confused to what they are doing! I hope and pray that the board of health will check up on the building and rooms and that the CEO\'s will screen their staff! I pray for each and everyone of the people who are still in there and will sign in. My advise is stay away and find a better place like Mary Haven or Harding in Columbus. Please take this serious, drug addition is deadly and this is not the place to get the true help you need. I give this place a -10 Minus 10!!!

Avoid parkside, this is from a caregiver not an addicts perspective, they turn over staff so quickly, my brother has been there 2 weeks and they completely changed staff to times. stability is key and parkside seems unable to provide it at all. Parkside is the worst center I have ever dealt with.
