They make the stay as uncomfortable as possible and hold medicine from you that your actually prescribed.. staff is rude.you cant get a good night's sleep....it looks like a ghetto really the rooms are dirty I could go on.i really despise this place but they don't have to many places for woman....

Was sent there for benzodiazapine withdrawal, wasn't given anything for it - which was why the hospital sent me there - and so Left the same day. Complete waste of my time. I didn't need to be "housed" for 5 days which was their plan - I have a place to stay. I needed medication to withdraw. If however you are a heroin addict, the methadone flows freely and quite a few people nodding off and obviously high can be seen.

I recently went to Danvers Cab detox to get help with my drinking problem. I went in on my own free will knowing i needed help. I have to say that "some" of the staff memebers were helpful and kind but a few that were very abrasive since they have been there for quite some time and felt they should never be questioned but that's not the reason I'm rating them with 1 star. The way it works is when people arrive we are put through an intake and asked all the standard medical queations and "so called" removed of any harmful illicit drugs and things to that nature. Well the problem is it's a fact that drugs are brought into the program very easily as i found out on the first night in. It's almost more of a way to find a new drug connection. I was placed in a room with not only alcoholic's but with drug users who very openly were using cocaine and heroin. This to me just instantly took me by surprise. I witnessed in about 3 occasions "cheaking" meaning while people were getting their Meds that they would place it in their mouth and not swallow and trade or sell them in Plain Sight of the staff. Here i am trying to get help and I'm witnessing this behavior frequently. So of course they would take my vitals as they should and mine seemed to be fine for the most part however i was constantly asked if i wanted to take Librium to help me sleep but knowing i felt fine i would refuse it. Now keep in mind after vitals are taken you need to take the paperwork to the nurses station to be logged in. The problem i found with that was i was constantly asked if i wanted librium. I felt like they were pushing it on me. The facility is run down and very dirty. Infact i had to ask for a broom to sweep used bandaids from the so called bed that i tried to sleep in. The bathroom floor was ripped up and we had to lay paaper on the shower floor to avoid getting cut. They do have a TV room that would accommodate Maybe 50% of the people stored in the facility so that meant standing in a hallway or laying in the bad. The worst part this entire situation was that no actual help was given. They hold what they call as meetings every few hours but for the most part it was us getting lectured on how the place works. A major flaw is that people go to a detox to get sober and live productive lives but from what i found out it that the truth of the matter is that it's just a place to hold people rather then help them. It's a cash cow to bill for services that are not given. If i had to guess out of the 50+ or so people stuffed in there MAYBE 1 will get better. Now don't get me wrong if one person can be saved then bravo but things need to change with that system fast. I'm sad to say that i left on my own free will after 2 days but i will do my research and find a place that actually does care and want to help people. Last i do want to say that i was impressed that 2 gentleman did come in from a Charlestown AA branch and got me thinking that things will work if i let it so it's not all negitive. Please before you consider going here or bringing a loved one there do some research. I hope the state of Massachusetts gets their act together and learns how to get people to actually help needed. Thanks for reading this book and good luck and God bless with the sobriety

Yes
Bring change for vending machines and to make phone calls from pay phone. If you smoke bring UNOPENED packs of smokes they won't allow them in other wise. clothes unopened tooth brush unopened deodorant can not be roll on. If you bring a pocket knife they won't give it back once you leave the throw them away ( I came in off the streets homeless and always had one and left with out it and that sucked) I would bring a pair of sandals/flip flops also can NOT bring liquids of any kind. I would bring a book or two. Unless you want to color all the time. The tv room has no cable t.v. so it's just dvds to watch. Pretty much your basic detox/rehab 101 basic rules apply and rhe normal stuff you'd bring to any other place. Good luck. They were really good to me and a year later my gf at the time (now wife) they were good to her. It's the only place either of us went to that worked. Best of luck if you need help you should definitely give this place a shot.
If some one has been off of methadone for 30 days normally you would not need detox... however if on a high dose for a long period of time and if a person has a slower metabolism in rare cases it could take 6-8 weeks tops. But that's I'd say less than 10% of the cases. Feeling sick and having no or withdrawal symptoms is kind of normal. But in short no. Detox should not be needed at that stage
No there is no just female unit here upstairs is long term detox men and women downstairs is men’s detox unit only men
7 days. You CAN leave any time avainst medical advice. if you do well and are serious you can stay up stairs in the extended program for another 2 weeks to do some additional counseling and work with your case manager one on one and have them try to place you in a sober house if you want or need. Not every one gets chosen for the extended program you have to show you're serious about getting clean and sober so many addicts not so many beds so they try to place those who really want it. If interested ask your case manager immediately about extended care and give them more time to find you a place. Not sure what you're trying to kick but they treated me and my girl right and it's like anything you get out more if you put in more. Clearly you're struggling brother... go for it man you can do it I wasted almost 25 years on drugs and booze.. I just turned 40 sitting here with my new wife about to eat dinner and watch a movie there is a better life. I Was homeless 17 mos ago for 3 years!
Beds are usually open often colder it gets longer the wait. First of the month almost always a bed.
