Drug and Alcohol Treatment Service

Shawn Kelley

I started my Recovery on March 16, 2020. Prior to that I I had spent over 30 years in some type of constant active use. I have been arrested more times than I can count. I had not gone 12 consecutive months without being arrested since I was 12 years old. I had no goals, no direction, no unalienated relationships, no mental health counseling, no insurance, no driver's license no self-respect and -sadly- no purpose through those years. The first thing I decided to do in the beginning stages of my Recovery was to seek help from a local Drug and Alcohol center. The decision came from the advice of a person that worked with the Catholic Social Services. She introduced me to DATS. Since then I have had a LIFE, a real life, a life I pride myself on. They care, DATS does, they help anyway possible and they give the tools to succeed. It is those tools that built the foundation of my life in Recovery. I worked for this life, I committed to the changes I made. DATS was there, cheering me on, through the entirety of it and continue to do so even today. I recommend not listing to the complaints, they all seemed to blame DATS for their own choices in life. Burning family bridges, relapsing, financial hardships or violating probation and parole isn't anyone's "fault." They're the culmination of choices one makes. So if you're looking for help with Recovery you will find no better organization.

I called 4 times and not one return call. Rude on phone. Go elsewhere

no running network

TRIED MARKING ONE STAR! I wouldn't recommend D.A.T.S it's easier to score drugs outside of this place than anywhere else ...most of the counselors dont have any real life experience they just have a piece of paper .you can tell when they are just pretending to relate to you ..I have heard some counselors planning to go partying after their shift was over ...not to mention they are partners with court system so the court automatically send you there . But you have rights ..research other places for sure there are a couple of them in the scranton area that are alot more cheaper !

Counselor not very helpful... Didn’t return phone calls causing a violation!!!!! She initially did call back but not when she wrote the letter saying call me so we don’t drop you, left a voicemail and she didn’t call until my Po violated me for not calling...... She called me back the day I got incarcerated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smh 🤦🏻‍♀️
