White Deer Run Of Allenwood

Very unclean. VERY.staff we're very unprofessional food was exposed covid is highly susceptible there no social distancing no masks worn and no consequences for it was there 24 hours.was processed completely at1 am spoke with the clinical director and she couldn't dismiss any of the claims I presented my property was lost within the 24 hours staff was u professional and arrogant but always found time to take a smoke break for 10 to 15 minutes even though clients waiting for processing overall a dump and very unhygienic

I am a transgendered individual and this place met my special needs with both compassion and wisdom. I never felt like I did not belong.
The staff is AMAZING. They really care about the clients. If you are SERIOUS about getting and staying clean this is your place.

I just Graduated from there on the 4th of February I was there since November 30th on unit 1 and this place saved my life I cant Thank Krystal Evan's enough my case manager she worked tooth and nail to get me to where I wanted to go and she is just amazing I would also love to thank my counselor Zavon for everything, the other counselors I'd like to thank are Renee, Jackie, Jeanette and Tearan for all there hard efforts to help me in need, id like to thank the techs Chris and Nick and most of all thanks to Lou the unit supervisor for everything my stay was pleasant I have not one complaint Love and Respect you all my name is Kevin Wainwright and I'm a grateful Recovering Addict

Detox was very smooth nurses all care.
Chelsea and Shanice are Angels.
Food could step it's game up but that's not what we came for. You can smoke when u want and relax during detox. Units seemed over chrowded
Not very clean u make what u get from this place.
Depends on your willingness

Some of the staff was amazing, people like Jeanie, Madigan, Sue, Gabby, Katie, Roy, Maelea, Lou, Judy, a couple of the nurses whose names I didn’t get and Miss V. Unfortunately they don’t have much control over what goes on there. I did like the doctor and psychiatrist (Gene and Dr. Jenson) but we were only allowed one visit with each. Other than that the place was awful. Covid is not taken seriously, over 20 of us got it and were treated with even less courtesy and care for having it. Luckily there were some counselors willing to risk their health to work with us. One of nurses forgot my night time medications while I was in quarantine so I eventually had to just leave my quarantine room and risk exposing others to go find someone to help. They were not happy I went to the nurses’ desk but it was 10: 30pm and I didn’t want to go without my behavioral meds. I understand we all make mistakes at work but they didn’t even seem to care and were in no way apologetic. The only precautions taken were cancellation of many of the healing activities and visits from family, so basically only things that wouldn’t lose them money and only affected the clients. I imagine they still charged our insurance for the full amount. But even before Covid there were issues. They were only allowing one phone call per week even though visits were not allowed. Luckily Gabby made an exception for me because one of my family members was very close to passing and did pass while I was there. The counselors were so overloaded, to no fault of their own, therefore we barely got to work with them. Theft was a huge problem, but very little was done about it. Even those caught stealing were allowed to stay and get a completion certificate. The food is very unhealthy, I thought I might lose weight due to lack of drinking but I actually gained. The facility confiscated some of my personal belongings and then lost the most expensive items, of course they didn’t care or apologize. In my opinion, the higher ups only care about money. It’s unfortunate for those who really care about the clients because there isn’t much they can do to help the situation. Of course, throughout my entire stay, any client who brought issues to a staff member’s attention were undermined and basically told they need to just make the best of it. We went there seeking help to make our situations better, not to learn to settle for less than what we deserve. I can give 2 stars because I am grateful for the clean time and the few staff members that really did care and wanted to make a difference and I imagine there are much worse facilities out there. However, I definitely would not recommend this facility to anyone, especially during a pandemic.

I was denied for having Borderline Personality Disorder and a history of self harm. As in, I hadn't self harmed for two months. They literally said to me, over the phone, that it was because I've self harmed in the past and have Borderline Personality Disorder. I understand that there is a huge stigma around this mental illness but my God, you are a Dual Recovery center. You should be educated enough to at least know that it's just that. A stigma. I am absolutely beyond heartbroken and feeling so hopeless once again. I needed this.

I went for help there 26 years ago for alcohol addiction. Been sober every since I would like to THANK all that helped me during my time of need. Highly recommended this facility to all that may need there service.

This place saved my life. It wasn't a resort or most comfortable place but it was exactly what I needed. When I heard the promises of the program and heard other addicts say they had more than thought they ever would gave me great hope and it my greatest friend is in there right now and this will s the first rehab she's actually staying. Gives me great hope. Great place to start a new way of life

My brother had a wonderful experience here! The food was good (my brothers words), the staff was kind, and so willing to work with our family. I cannot say thank you enough to all who had a hand in helping my family. There were so many people who helped.my heart is full with gratitude!

This place is ghetto, dirty, and unprofessional. The nursing staff are mean, rude, and condesending, the counselors are sleeping with the clients. The food is gross. There is BLACK MOLD everywhere. I went to nursing with trouble breathing they told me I was dramatic and a liar and just wanted to get out of going to group. There are bed bugs everywhere. Housekeeping is a joke.
I contacted my insurance company and was told their are multiple complaints against this place.

At 21 I completed this program and I have only good things to say about it Prior to White Deer Run I had been to treatment in NJ FLORIDA and Nevada. None of those places worked but here I am, a proud graduate and still clean. No one ever had the courage to tell me the truth about myself until I went here I'm grateful for you people Thank you.

It truly is a beautiful place on top of a mountain, you don't feel trap. The staff is amazing and I felt they cared. I learned so much more about my self and the brothers I met there. I was discharged 10/17/18. After completing detox and 21 day rehab. It really is a great place to get the tool you need to recover and stay clean.

Place is beautiful, staff is legit, and the woman who got me into treatment was an angel. Man, two weeks before I was helped by that lady, my girlfriend overdosed and passed away. I didn't know how I was supposed to go on living. Thank God for this place. Seriously!

I was at white deer run years ago and it absolutely saved my life, I've been to multiple treatment centers and i have to say that i was detoxed comfortably and i was treated well. I would recommend this place to anyone. The therapists and case managers realy set me up with the right aftercare. I now have a beautiful life in south Florida that i owe White deer run for laying the foundation for my recovery!

They were supposed to pick me up today around 3. I called yesterday to verify and it was all good. It's now 8: 25 and nothing, I've called over and over and over again and nothing, no notification or nothing! I'm furious, like what place does That, oh and I had already waited a week for today!

This place, in 2006, was a different place then now, it didn't get me clean (i got myself clean). But, on a 90° night in July at 430-5am while smoking a cigarette alone i heard the SCARIEST, most NON-HUMAN growl/scream/howl ive EVER heard. I'll NEVER forget that, it scared me to silence for yrs.i am now, today, a Sasquatch Researcher and Writer.point of this rehabilitation patients, DONT GO IN THOSE WOODS!

I was not there my son was and it was awful the place has no hot water urine stains on the mattress all kinds of court mandated people if you have good health insurance do not go or send your love one there this place needs to be shut down and the other reviews are 100 percent right they do not contact family they threw my son out because he mentioned the urine stain on the bed and no hot water and drove him to the bus station and never contacted me awful place

He seen the informative website for Allenwood. Excited to find a place, he could talk to someone about a tragic event in his childhood. Find out what's causing his triggers. We are under the assumption that he will finally get to relax from the real world an focus on him!
I knew he would loose this excitement and have to deal with raw emotions. I did my research, I wasn't blind to the process.
38 hours in detox. Placed on methodone, before he showed signs of withdrawal. (Never had methodone before, they gave him their highest dose) in those 38 hours of that short detox that should be anywhere from 3 days or longer. To work on you. You have to deal with other patients screaming at you, while staff watches. Their detox is non existent. It's just a step in getting more people in the door. Transition over to stage two. Now you deal with more fighting, things stolen. Sleeping on the washer bc that's the only way you will get one. A counselor that helps none bc they have 40 or more people trying to see him too. Knocking on the door every few mins, bc there is no staff around to control these situations. Sexual encounters.
If you are looking for a place for a loved one.don't pick here! If staff cant control a person by "if you don't do what I say, we will send you back to jail" allowing them to lack knowledge on how to help people that decide to go on their own. Loved ones who did all that work convincing them, you will see no effort on their part, besides trying to ignore family or tell you to come pick them up.
They definitely need an undercover to go here. It would be shut down.
10: 00 pm an patients are out wondering around? ! Pull up to the gaurd shack for him to wave at me an turn back in.i Stop the truck.he goes "oh sorry I thought you were staff by the headlights" like it's a complete joke an safety concern!

This place is the reason why I am living a clean and sober life! And my favorite tech there was Ms. Vivan in unit 25. Hey Ms. Viv

This place was a PRISON! I was here in 2012 & I could not concentrate on trying to get clean because the people here treated me so horrible, staff too! And this place was so run down, nothing was cleaned right, the bathrooms, showers were nasty! Bedrooms were depressing. Had to sleep in a room with 3 other women and they all snored and kept me awake. There was bed bugs in the men's dorms. The food was lousy. Cafe. Ppl even disrespected me. The women's unit didn't have any comfortable furniture, mostly hard chairs like in a school. The few sofas, and regular chairs seemed to always be occupied, thank goodness I didn't smoke because when everyone went out for a smoke that was my chance to grab a comfortable seat. The place was so ghetto. And talking about ghetto, the people I had to live with were the #1 reason I hated this place, the staff too! These black girls were always fighting among themselves, and they had cliques and if you weren't apart of them.lets just say I felt like I was back in middle school! I was made fun of and laughed at and belittled, even by the staff! I was very depressed and they didn't care one bit! They took all my shirts, except one when I was checking in because they had a small neckline or the sleeves were too short! I said these are all I have. It was 80° none were low cut or provocative, I was 47.yet I saw many attractive young girls wearing such short skirts and dresses that if they bent over you'd see everything. Or they would cut their shirts that weren't low cut enough and cut them out so you could see a lot of cleavage, as I was wearing the same shirt for a week and a half, and wasn't allowed to wash it everyday so you can imagine how I smelled. I had to get my mom to ship "appropriate clothes. " I really feel there was favouritism going on. It also didn't seem like anyone, except a certain group of people, were there to change their lives, they were probably court ordered and could care less about anything except flirting with the guys and fixing themselves up like going out to a club. Now I understand ppl want to look good because it makes them feel better, but they clearly weren't there for the right reasons and my counsellor (who was unkind, uncaring and acted like a PRISON gaurd) was trying to tell me us woman needed each other and that they loved me. Yea right, how can they love someone they just met. What a joke. Just BS! How could I go to groups and actually be serious about healing myself? I remember being laughed at during one of the few times I spoke up in a group. And I got yelled at by a 50 something woman because I was using a blanket to rest with in the cold building. Are we in daycare? Come on, I was obviously new and she just grabbed that blanket off of me. Everything about this place was so bad and depressing. The daily schedule is gruelling too, up at 6am EVERYDAY, and they lock your cabin so you have to stay awake all day and you can't even take a nap under a shady tree, you have to stay up untill 10pm.like being in JAIL. Beware if they tell you that there's not enough parking spaces to bring your own car, even if its true go somewhere else not here because you'll be stuck on that mountain and you'll regret it on the day you decide to leave, and believe me you will want to leave! When I first got there I was waiting outside because of some power outage, as I looked over this fence and down below the trees I saw pamphlets laying all over the place, well in hindsight I realized those were from the ppl that were trying to run away from there and they were lightening their load so the pamphlets were the first to go, cause like I said before they will bring you here, but they do that to trap you here because their rules are this: they will drive you back home (I lived 80 miles away), if you complete the program! So needless to say, i was begging my mom to come get me. Anyway, they only want you here so they can drain your insurance company. Just don't come here! You will be sorry. They need to rename it: White deer run away, far away from here.
