If it wasn't for their interns like Lindsey, whom is the best person to run groups and has the knowledge to understand and relate to those in need, GLS would be in trouble. They offer no meals or nutrition services.

Review from Rehabs.com

I really had a good experience while at GLS in that I gained knowledge of my disease and how my brain worked during my addiction years and also while in recovery. It was good to be in an IOP group and share feelings and experiences with others who can identify. I was able to build some friendships with a couple of the guys in IOP and hope to continue seeing them in AA meetings. The counselors were all very helpful and gave me hope and encouragement through some tough legal issues. I think their experiences and strengths helped me a lot to understand my thinking and how it works in staying sober and living sober. The combination of GLS and AA meetings was just what I needed to build a foundation of recovery.

Review from Rehabs.com

If you are truly seeking treatment for drug and/or alcohol abuse I insist you not utilize this resource, if so it can be called. The treatment I encountered consisted of wolf-pack tactics whereby the counselors encourage the group to attack individuals who fail to maintain abstinence. The method employed by the counselor(s) is to suggest to the group that 'someone has a secret,' which forces the individuals to look around until that particular someone fesses up. Sobriety is a life long endeavor and certainly not an easy feat to achieve even when measured by a daily basis. To be scoffed at and criticized by your counselors and peers for failing is not rehabilitation. I wouldn't even consider that tough love. Every measure taken by counselors to assist in your rehabilitation is either forced or guilted out of you. I could provide more examples of tactics employed on how they assist in keeping people clean and sober, but it would be a laundry list of aggression and guilt. It reminded me of my Catholic hell, fire, and brimstone upbringing. If this is the type of treatment you seek then maybe this is the center for you, but it certainly was very off-putting for me and I dropped out and sought help elsewhere. The sad part was is I was 'in' for a first time dui and was in denial of being an alcoholic. When I dropped out and went elsewhere I actually received 'help', not badgering. It has been almost 2 years since my last drink and I am an alcoholic. Had I stayed there and completed my mandatory 16 weeks I do not believe I would be writing these words today because I wouldn't be sober. I would have fulfilled my 16 week obligation, or 'got out', and went right back to drinking. I suppose I write this review now because this reality has truly sunk in. The only good that came out of that center was learning that what they believe to be treatment truly is not.

We love hearing about your treatment experience
