CODA Treatment Recovery

TruPyroDice

I’ve been a priso…. Uh, Patient at Burnside CODA in Portland for over a decade now 2008-2022(currently). I’ve had several counselors, attended countless classes and groups that helped me overcome a lot. As long as I adhered to the program I have NEVER had any issue or problems like in some negative reviews. From what I’ve seen first hand it’s usually the clients that are directly responsible for the negative experience. Drug use and addiction clients may be so mentally drained from years of untreated addiction that the critical balance in our brain chemistry is —for lack of a better term-- toast. In short, we become irrational, moody, unreasonable, and sometimes act like a victim, or get angry when there are repercussions to our actions we don’t like. All that you need to do is follow the guidelines and personal treatment plan set by you and your counselor and there will be minimal, if any, serious issues. In my experience they are very understanding and compassionate but will strictly adhered to policies. Remember, they have heard every excuse and reason in the book. TLDNR: Great people, adequate counseling and direction to any resources you may have a need for. Never had a single problem when following treatment plan and clean UAs. Lines seem to be longer on Mon. Wed. and Fri.

sweet staff. the one counselor I've ever had there had one meeting with me and wrote me a scathing review that has been nothing but make life harder. I didn't think I even upset him. (he was let go the very next day) but they still let his kaibash Google me around

I've been a patient here since 1997. The counselors are awesome. The nurses are usually great as well. The Doctor however, besides being the Director, obviously doesn't like us. She makes our lives very unpredictable. For instance, there are close to 1000 patients that go here. Sometimes the line for meds can be 2 hours long. Even if it's packed to the gills with people who have jobs, appointments etc, she will pull staff away from us, to go upstairs to help her with paperwork etc. It IS the best treatment center in town. But that's mostly because places like Allied are openly hostile to the patients. Coda, at least has a good staff that are willing to help whenever they can.
