Attended groups at recovery 4 life for 6 months and it was hands down the WORST counseling I have ever received. After a few short weeks it was very apparent that the staff didn't actually care that anyone succeeded in the program but that they only cared about being able to bill their insurance. The groups claim their supposed to help people work through whatever problems their having with recovery but if you can't afford the $25 per session they turn you away at the door.

When _____ took over as my counselor, she was extremely negative in her attitude towards me. She didn't show any empathy for the fact that I had to ride my bicycle 10 miles each way to get to group, she only cared that if I missed a class that they wouldn't be able to bill insurance and she would send a nasty letter to my probation officer as well. The first time we met I had 8 months of sobriety under my belt and she said "I don't believe you're taking your recovery seriously because you're not attending NA meetings". The next time I met with her this point came up and she sat there and lied to me saying "I never said that". She is absolutely the WORST counselor I've ever worked with and when I told her this she said I was verbally assaulting her and then asked if I knew what her credentials stood for. I said no and she said "A masters degree in social work".

I'm sorry but simply holding a degree doesn't mean anything. If you cant relate to people and all you do in your personal sessions is tell them what their doing is wrong, even if their finding success in what their doing. Sitting there and telling people that your way is the right way and any other way of doing things is wrong, and not even considering outside circumstances like not having transportation to get to your garbage groups. This place should be discredited.
