Trauma
I was scared and wanted to leave. I was not allowed to leave. They refused to give me my medication and my purse so I could not call an Uber and I could not leave without my medication. That was illegal! If I would wanted to leave I should’ve been able to leave… But they didn’t let me. It was like a prison. I do not recommend Pathways at all. I do know other people who do recommend it who’ve been nowhere else, but there, but I’ve been at other places and I know what is real help and what is that and they are not.

PSS's and counselors are wonderful...management and corporate have a lot to learn. The place could be much more organized. With that being said, results for many show that they don't need to have organization within the office or billing correct, they have the right people to help the addicts and alcoholics . Recommenced this place to you but be ready for some headaches with management.
