Why did you choose this facility?
|
|
I chose this facility because I had to pay out of
pocket. I didn't know a thing about there
reputation or else I would of gone somewhere else.
I wasn't on any type of probation my family really
didn't care if I went to a rehab I jut wanted to
better my life. |

Tell us about the experience - was it positive or negative?
|
|
My experience was mostly negative. The second day
I was there I was sitting by Mike in an AA meeting
and he said to me "Thanks for the new boat" I had
no problem handing over a cashiers check check
over to Mitch because I didn't know what a dirt
bag he was yet I was still high, and I only had
met Cooper, which I still have nothing negative to
say about this staff worker to this day. I later
found out through a doctor that my prescription of
suboxone ws trying to be handed out to other
clients. Mike actually gave one of the other
girls that had been giving me a hard time one of
my pills. He also made references to his staff
members having anal sex to one of my sober living
house managers which I found extremely
inappropriate. I still have respect for this
staff member for all he puts up with dealing with
Mike on a daily basis. |

Do you feel the program was successful?
|
|
No, I feel the program was not successfull at all.
I had to put up with a lot mental and physical
abuse from Mike himself. Comments like " Kim your
fuckin mental." One day at the west house he
actually jerked my pants up my butt, like if were
in grade school. When I called Sam to try to get
an apology Mike just called me laughing which made
things ten times worst. I am still dealing with
the issues connor ranch has left me in more of a
legal way and have had to contact my attorneys
back home. Mike has to be stopped. I have this
doctor willing to back me up on everything He
also was asking this doctor to call in suboxone
under my name and give them out to other patients
so my insurance would cover it. He also promised
everyone a trip at the end of the program who
finishes, I never went anywhere but into a sober
living home and I was practically shoved out the
door. At the end of the program everyone gets a
rock ceremony where you go around the room and
people give you advice as you pass your rock
around I was never given that chance either. I ws
never even given a goodbye from any of my peers or
the staff. Most of the staff couldn't call me
enough on the phone before I arrived there with
that cahiers check in my hand but once they got it
nobody even said a whole sentence to me unless it
was a negative one.
Please look elsewhere before entering Connor Ranch
it is a cheap program and that's exactly what you
get a cheap program. I wish you all luck and may
god bless you in your recovery. |

life.
