Orchid Recovery Center

I was recommended to this facility —
1. they did not respond to my initial email form
2. spoke to a decent gentleman at length — however he ‘said’ he called but did not and lied about mixing up the numbers on my phone (he repeated this when we chatted) AND had my cell phone.
3. called 888 number again today — I expressed my concern regarding feedback for an interested person and realized how horrific the reviews were.
4. need I say more???
Such a horrible experience.

A family member of mine went to this facility, seeking help for personal trauma and painkiller addiction. She was desperate, and assumed that this place would be the place to go – they seemed so kind and friendly on the phone, and the website is pretty enough.
When she got there, she was in for a terrible surprise. The therapists there were not only never there to cater to one-​on-​one patient needs, but the individual who was to act as her therapist was verbally abusive and accusatory, putting scenarios into my family member’s mouth which never happened. She did nothing to help my family member except feed her reasons as to why she should hate herself for seeking help, and she deliberately did so in front of a group of cliqueish, catty girls.
This therapist, named Michelle, saw my family member ONE TIME in private during the entire 30-​day stay she had. And this is a place that is supposedly geared for treating personal trauma.
Several staff members have quit that place, due to the incredible level of unprofessionalism that permeates the facility. It is nothing more than a high-​school maturity level place where the «mean girls» gang up on those who are a bit outside of the normal group (i.e. those who are quiet or shy), bullying information out of them for the sake of knowing, not for the sake of caring.
If you or a loved one are thinking of going to this place to heal, please, PLEASE reconsider. There are multiple terrible reviews all over the internet of how awful The Orchid is.
Recovery is so very important, and this prison is not the place to start that journey. Avoid it at all costs.
