My wife is at Brattleboro Retreat. I went to see her and have never seen worse conditions for people to live in. No one down there seems to know what is going on with her and neither does she because no one will tell her anything. They make the place look good from the outside but the inside of the building I went to was horrible. I don't see where they are actually going to help her, looks like they just have people there to get the money. If it was my choice and I could I wouldn't have let her stay there and brought her back home.
I would not recommend this place whatsoever. My son was there and all they did was medicate him for 5 days. No other treatment involved really. I even received a phone call from his social worker who informed me that my son was showing signs of delusion. They released him after telling me this? WHAT? Unbelievable. This is so sad as he is mentally ill and still walking around aimlessly. I'm no doctor but I've worked for one over 10 years and am guessing my son has Asperger's and Manic Depression, Mood Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, etc.. Sad a place like the Brattleboro Retreat cannot figure this out. Do your research people. Just checked out website as well and people have tried to commit suicide here. Kinda scary! GOOD LUCK!
A great place if you're looking for co-ed dorms with little to no supervision. My spouse of over 20 years was there for the Month of October for alcohol and drug rehabilitation. Within the first week of treatment, she had met her "soul mate" in one of their co-ed group sessions and was able to shack up with him for 4 nights in his dorm room. She's even going to spend this coming weekend with him while I care for our 3 children. Single guys, if you're out there and you're looking for ladies in their most vulnerable state, look no further. The Brattleboro Retreat will provide you with an environment where you can get to know a potential partner's deepest secrets, when thy're the most vulnerable and then have your own private room to get to know each other on a more physical level. And for the low price of $220 a week, it's cheaper than a hotel!
Bad place if your black!!
I left in middle of night due to I'm a diabetic and for 3 days I went without proper food.
This place was mental torture, they literally wouldn't let me into their outpatient program simply because I didn't want to be medicated and numb, Some staff will abuse you, others are actually there to help you, Dr.Gallo is a manipulator and abuses it, Seen multiple staff members wearing freemason rings and try and push their agenda on kids, not a safe environment for any recovery besides detoxing, had to speak to dietitian 4 times, requested 3 different doctors, and they like to take vitals while you are asleep which is sketchy. WATCH YOUR BACK AND KNOW YOUR VERMONT MENTAL PATIENT RIGHTS!
I went for medication change observation. It is very unclean. PA prescribed me medication that he's not authorized to precribe so now I'm without! They all lie on the regular.
