This place is full of liars and deceivers! They are very manipulative and controlling! I wouldn't put my enemy here. People go in and come out with the same mentality they don't seek to help won't follow court orders. I call to talk to a manager and they told me they can't give me that information because of HIPAA! You can't tell me who the manager is because of HIPAA that's crazy to me PLEASE DON'T SEND YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS HERE! I hope somebody who can do something about this facility get involved! There are too many complaints concerning this place and it should be condemned! I don't see that one positive comment if that's not a cry I don't know what is

EVERYONE PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT OTHERS ARE POSTING THIS FACILITY IS GETTING PAID TO DO NOTHING. ITS PLACES LIKE THIS WHY PEOPLE DON'T RECOVER PROPERLY. THIS PLACE CARE MORE ABOUT THE OUTER APPEARANCE THAN INNER HEALING FOR THE PATIENT. I WAS PLACED ON THE FRONT LAWN FOR HOURS CAUSE I CHOSE TO GO TO A BETTER FACILITY NO FOOD NOTHHING DRINK NOT EVEN WAS ABLE TO USE THE PHONE I ASKED FOR OGER OPPORTUNITY CAUSE IT WAS GETTING COLD AND I COULDN'T FIND ANOTHER FACILITY I WAS TOLD NO.... REMIND U THEY DIDN'T PUT ME OUT I CHOSE TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE BUT CHANGED MY MIND AND THEY STILL LEFT ME THEIR ALL DAY AND NIGHT IN THE COLD DO NOT GO HERE PLEASE DON'T

I entered into St. Jude's Last August for the second time and I was saddened to see that absolutely NOTHING had changed. Fortunately? I did but not until I got out of there and into a sober living program that focuses solely on the 12 steps of recovery, in person meetings, in person sponsorship and comprehensive accountability. St. Jude's is NOT recovery, it is treatment. Period. I was given the same old, circa 1993 perspective and materials that, quite frankly, only point to the "My way or the highway" mentality. Love and tolerance is NOT their code.

Horrible and rude. I don’t even think the admission supervisor even know what she’s doing. I’ve been lied to so much, my finance been waiting 3 months for this program and still haven’t went. Finally transfer to them just for them to tell him his name not on her so called waiting list and no room is available. But otherwise I had paperwork/emails stating everything was good and that they were just expecting him. Anywho very confusing and frustrating they don’t really care about nobody. I was told by Ms.White that she has a pile of paperwork on her desk full of people waiting to come there which let me knows the lack of dedication to help these people. Anyway wish whoever get accepted here the best of luck, you’ll be waiting forever !!!!!!

I have a friend with a daughter who has major problem and has gone off deep end. She has no insurance but needs somewhere good to get clean. Is this some where that can help her? If so what is the procedure her family needs to take?

Brenda Kirk | Oct 8, 2018
Terrie Varner | Oct 8, 2018

I too had no insurance and was excepted into the program. They willing have to be able to work after completing classes after 3 months. They willing go into job training and from there they willing pay a very small fee until graduation. I strongly recommend St.Judes. I also stayed an extra 3 months after completing my program. I hope this helps and I wish your friends daughter gets the help she needs. If not here then from somewhere☺

Wanda Patterson | Oct 7, 2020
Elizabeth Webb | Oct 7, 2020

This is to teach you how to be accountable. How to pay your Bill's on time. How to budget. How to eventually live on your own and not be hurting for money. It's not a lot either that you have to pay. It's only after you get your first pay check. So theres really no pressure on you at all.

Does this addiction center offer the dose of whatever ********* it is called ( i think it starts with a V) that last for 30 days after injected for methamphetamine addicts to get clean if so how much does it cost and how long is the wait to get it?

Leighanne Skinner | Oct 8, 2019
Gaston Golsan | Oct 8, 2019

Yes, they do. There is no wait, if you are a patient there. It's an otherwise expensive drug, so that's a benefit of being at St. Judes.

Does anyone know of any sort of transportation from Bradley center in Columbus Georgia to St Jude rehab Atlanta

Gypsy Waters | Oct 8, 2019
Gaston Golsan | Oct 8, 2019

I don't know of any coordination between St. Jude and any other rehab. You could ask the Bradley Center. You should make sure with St. Jude that they have a bed for you before just showing up. Normally, they do intake first thing in the morning for whoever has been waiting at their front door. And even that may mean being put on a list until someone leaves. St. Jude stays full.

Can items be dropped off for a patient on the weekends before visiting hours

James Georges | Oct 8, 2019
Elizabeth Webb | Oct 8, 2019

You do get an emergency drop off which is when it's your first two weeks and need things. So they will let you do that
