Nice clinic other than the councler JD should find another gig he's obviously In the wrong field and I get the impression is unstable has trauma and could use a therapist.... otherwise the rest of the staff is very nice. Dosing from 530am to 1230pm mon through Friday. Intake is very quick.

I take my girlfriend there and she is treated badly I understand they have a job to do but their job is very serious and these people let unqualified staff determine whether or not they will give out the dose they have policies that they don't live by and for a place to deal with such a serious issue I don't believe they should allow receptionists or hired help other than professional certified counselors determine if the dose is given out or not

I take my wife here an this is the worst place of business I’ve ever seen. The therapist always tells my wife they are to busy to help with certain things that are a part of their job duties. Two previous trips she has missed to meet my family because Santiago didn’t have time to reply back to her even though it was two months advance notice. They

Honestly, this place really does help and I feel they reallt do care about you. Ive never witnessed any of the staff "gossip" about patients, as previously stated. Ive also never known of anyone "teaming up and bullying" anyone. As a matter of fact, in my personal experience, the ONLY thing ANYONE there, from front desk staff to the counselors, doctors, even the dosing nurses, has only ever tried to help me. When I went here the counselor I was assigned to was Vinny, whom sadly enough left before I left the program because he was every bit of AMAZING! I cannot begin to describe the level of professionalism and knowledge he displayed as well as the level of care! Well to be honest, every counselor that I worked with was very knowledgeable and their credentials surely matched that. Prior to attending ARTS, I would argue that the only counselors that are useful to an addict are those that have experienced addiction themselves. As of the writing of this review, I could not disagree more with that statement. Both Vinny as well as my group counselor, Angel, had at minimum a masters degree and their studies into the HORRIBLE disease of addiction certainly has paid off. At least I would think it has. I can imagine that if all the years they put into their studies resulted in saving at least one life, then it would've been worth it. Well lemme say...BOTH Vinny and Angel saved my life and for that reason,, I will forever be in their debt. Vinny, if ever you read this, I wish you nothing but happiness as you navigate the ups and downs of parenthood and I REALLY hope that you someday decide to start counseling again because you really do have a knack for helping people battle such a God awful disease. You too Angel, which I have no idea if you are still with ARTS or not but I hope you continue doing what your best at as well. Wow, this is a waaayy longer review than I had planned... Anyways, I'm sure after reading this you are wondering why and the hell I only gave four stars lol. The reason I took a star away is because I feel it took FOREVER to "phase" to the next level of treatment. At the time, I felt that the process of reaching phase one status was hindering my sobriety. I was sober and had MONTHS AND MONTHS of clean UA's, yet for some rhyme or reason I STILL couldn't have the privilege of receiving additional take-homes! It was always something, ex missing paperwork, ie a release needed signed or an assessment needed updated...whatever the case, it was always due to something out of my control which I feel is not fair AT ALL. Other than that, excellent program
