Second Chance

I went to second chance and was kicked out because I was one minute late to a meeting and left a disgruntled Unilocal review.
They got me kicked out of my treatment program and I had to start the whole process over again. Not to mention the fact that I had seen them let numerous people come in several minutes late. But since I was new there and didn’t know the people running the meeting I didn’t receive that moment of leniency. I was one minute late. This place is cool if you like kissing the asses of people who don’t sincerely care and will do anything to protect their bogus reputation. This place may have helped some people but they took my money, kicked me out, didn’t refund my money, got me in trouble, made things harder for me, and they’re just generally rude. Talk to the receptionist. Or better yet, try to call. They’re rude and unprofessional. Oh and they keep getting my Unilocal reviews removed. What kind of rehabilitation center focuses so much of their time on Unilocal?That alone shows you where their heart lies. This place sucks!

My God send. Been attending meetings and one on one for nearly 8 years! The place to get on track and stay there!

I’ve never had to use their services, but when I called to ask a question the old lady who answered the phone at 5:45 on April 29 was rude as heck. Absolute lack of phone etiquette, and devoid of any empathy. Not at all what’s expected from a counseling/​mental health center.

I was in need of Auto Related Courses and the only schools suggested to me were in San Jose. For someone living in Newark without at vehicle, that was a problem. Through some research I found 2^nd Chance whose office is only minutes away from home. Talk about a blessing.
The staff is friendly and extremely accommodating with payments. I worked with two counselors. Candy was the first. She is very knowledgeable of the topics discussed in class. And always willing to assist those in need with numerous issues. Linda was the second. Leading group discussion, she always encouraged clients to talk freely about their thoughts and experiences. Linda is rather open herself so there was never the notion of judgment. And the fact she had a sense of humor was great.
I highly recommend 2^nd Chance for Auto Related Courses. I have learned collectively many of the staff members have led adventurous lives themselves. Knowing the ins and outs of the system, openly referring you to other/​outside sources for further assistance. All together the session went by quickly and was relatively cheap. And don’t skip out on classes if you can help it as you will have to make them up after your entire session is through– at an additional fee for each class missed.

I had a friend who went to Second Chance to recover from drugs. I am amazed at the changes that I’ve seen her go through. She is a total different person now and she said she owes it all to Second Chance =) She doesn’t have access to a computer and I wanted others to know that if they need help or are struggling with alcohol and/​or drugs, check them out and see if they can help you like they did her. I thank God for programs like theirs, it’s made such a difference in her life.
Thank you Second Chance!
