The staff talks to clients like we are children. Some people get away with stuff and some don’t. I had a client make a drawing and laugh at me falling down the stairs. I have to use a walker due to my car wreck which left me with a broken femur/ right hip and fractured ribs. Told the staff nothing was done about it.

Review from Rehabs.com

I am unsure that the "treatment effectiveness" question is appropriate at this time. However, Blue Ridge, in my opinion, and due to interactions with the counselors and staff, and attending their family workshop: I would recommend Blue Ridge Recovery's program to anyone that wants to get recovery right the first time. Amazing people. Amazing program. Anticipating amazing results. Their unrelenting ability and offering of (their) experience, strength and hope. The only "weakness", and not sure about the word weakness, is that it is a 30(35) day program. Recovery is a long process... and the people at BR as so strong in their mission and beliefs that I wish that had their own sober living program, however I believe they know and refer clients to some pretty awesome ones.
