Star House

Sooo my initial conversation with one of the directors was kind of aggressive. If I asked a question he would say (and I quote) “see if you would just listen to what I’m saying I just said that” and he said that twice to me. He was very rude and honestly my boyfriend would have still went to the program but he denied him and said “I just don’t think he’s a good fit for our program” im not sure why. Not sure of anything because I told him basically everything. Maybe my man didn’t mention everything. Not sure but hey . An explanation would’ve helped or atleast telling him before you leave and say “the director will call your girlfriend and give her all the info” basically implying that he got excepted. He told me to not call them because they would call and he knows I get impatient. Anyways long story short the initial impression was bad. A person I know graduated while drunk because they dont drug test for alcohol and if they do, they didn’t him. Anyways i based my review on them being rude but since he’s been excepted into StepByStep recovery and they have been nothing but accepting and helpful. If your in Gainesville I’d make the drive . Not sure how good they are never been but my boyfriend will be going sometimes soon . Star house is a money hungry joke .

If you are engaged to your loved one who is in this program don’t expect to be permitted to marry for a year when the program is over. It’s not permitted to get married during the program. Also for that year when visitation is allowed it is only allowed with immediate family.Seems they are in business to break people apart even if you’re the one who paid for them being there. My loved one had no money when he went in so went for a week without any food. Also you are required to get a job. I wasn’t allowed to find out if he got medical insurance with that job and he was injured on the job. I wish I had made another choice for his court ordered rehab.

Star House for men provides treatment services for substance abuse it is a alternative in some cases, instead of prisons or jails. I found the staff here to be very knowledgeable and they seem like they truly care.. I am coming up on 30 days in the program and I will update this review in a couple of months.

If I could give this place no stars I would. They told my mother it would cost 840 dollars to reserve my brother a spot until he got out of jail. She was told half of that money would reserve the bed and the other half would pay for his first 2 weeks when he got there. He ended up never going because of a sentence change and they refused to refund my mother any money at all. Saying they lost far more money then her 840 in reserving the bed for him. Half of that money was for his first 2 weeks there that he never went to. Refunding half of that money would have been fair and I think for a so called non profit agency that is in the business of helping people they should not be so greedy and rude. I'm glad my brother never ended up in this sorry excuse for a recovery program. Think twice before making the decision to go here. They are obviously concerned about your money and not your recovery or life.
