I don't know what to say other than I was so happy to have been able to be at prototypes pomona. It was really awesome and it was like a blessing I miss it and don't think I would have been able to be as strong as I am today without remembering the entire staff who were amazing people who were in places that were not so far from the places that we came from so they totally understand what is happening. This blowed didi hirsh pacoima out the water 100% I went there and quit but came to prototypes and completed my 90 days with my best effort. Love you prototypes....woohoo

Prototypes saved my life and helped me move forward in life. I was there many years ago. Now I have a wonderful husband and my 2 children ❤ I've been sober for 25+ years.

I recently went to visit a "client" here which is a girl friend of mine. Iam still in disbelief of what has happened. First thing Iam a retired/disabled combat veteran of the USN. I showed up on a Saturday for my visit and was mistreated and disrespected by staff right away. My service dog was denied entry. My friends case manager was very lazy and rude to me. I was given 15 minutes to visit after driving an hour and a half. A few days later I was just about pushed away by staff when I went on Wednesday to drop off cigarettes and money) this is the one day a week that people can show support by taking clients supplies & $. Now IAM being told that my friendw supposively caught smoking a cigarette when she was not supposed to and had her visits and phone calls taken for an undetermined amount of time. Not only does this sound like nonsense, it's unconstitutional and in turn means the clients are actually being treated worse than inmates are in jail or prison. Iam attempting to contact supervisers and Program directors at this time to find out what the policies and standards are for ALL CLIENTS. Something doesn't seem right about this place. Each and every time I call and or go to the facility I've been treated very inappropriately. Very, very sad! Seems to me in my experience this can have a negative and adverse effect on somebody in Active recovery. If anyone has any further information that may be useful to me I would appreciate it.

I unfortunately got my counselor switched to Irene. Miss Irene she is a large African American woman with a Dennis Rodman hair do. She is a miserable rude woman! I don't understand how she keeps her job every single person I have spoken with hates her and says how very rude and nasty she is. She talks to me like I'm the scum on the bottom of her shoes. She has absolutely no compassion. She totally disregards everything I say, always talks down to me, I actually everyone I hear her speak to she talks down to and is very very rude!! She makes me feel so uncomfortable that it hinders my recovery. I have asked to be switched counselors and I'm told it can't be done. She should not be a counselor!!! Prototypes is already a unorganized unprofessional center so I guess that's why they keep people like Irene employed. Substance abuse counselors are suppose to help and not harm and Irene and Prototypes have gravely failed!
