Pacific Ridge: Residential Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center

I was an employee here for 8 years and I can attest to these previous reviews being true. There really are caring counselors who help clients find sobriety....However, the story about the client walking into group while he was being talked about behind his back is also true. And it's a fact that the facility is run down and not well maintained. I was personally embarrassed that new clients would arrive to see the landscaping full of weeds and the front door damaged and ugly. Regarding mayonnaise not being allowed, that's due to the fact that the director hates mayo. Go figure. One thing that always rubbed me the wrong way is that employees with no professional medical training were forced to dispense medications. I will concede that these frustrations can be overlooked if someone really wants to get clean and sober, or really needs a job (at a place that does not offer any paid vacation). I like that Google Reviews allow the public to "Speak Truth to Power".

I was here 20yrs ago. Just go! Follow what your tought. After 2 years your life will be changed forever. You can and will succeed! Love yourself and leave the foolish friends behind. Honestly you will find your true friends on your journey. Even the friends you love the most unfortunately don't love you the same. Love yourself and go!

I got sick 4 days after I got there and so I was trying to keep in my room and stay away from the other residents until at least until I got tested for covid-19. They didn't even get a test done and I couldn't believe that I was kicked out for not cooperating with their program and for not following their rules going to groups. There was another resident there who the councilor Steve had lied and told him that I was leaving on my own which was a lie, they had kicked me out and I so when we both confronted Steve, he wouldn't admit that I was really kicked out but he wouldn't say that I was leaving on my own will like he said earlier. The best counselors are Ed and Lori. They are truly amazing people.
