I am indebted to The Watershed for giving me the education and support that has enabled a better quality of life. Although I was court mandated, the professionals at The Watershed stood by me for over three months. They identified crucial behavioral traits I slowly came to accept. Through repetition and lessons in tolerance their environment changed me. My transition back home proved the foundation formed was successful.

Drugs/AWOLs are Rampant Dear Watershed and staff, I have brought to your attention innumerable times the fact that your facility is overwhelmed by drug use and AWOLs. I talked to my Therapist there, and he told me that Watershed has a strict three AWOL limit. I responded by saying "you have a three permission slip rule." You also do not enforce your rules. A patient who was there and who I will call C AWOLed at least six times. Why was he not thrown out? A rule without enforcement is no rule at all. My Therapist said C had to endure a harsh discussion with all of the Therapists as a punishment. I have had more stressful days at work. Let's talk about drug use. Whose idea was it to place addicts in run-down apartments next to known drug dealers? Are you incompetent morons? You get the outcomes you have prepared for yourself. So many people were on drugs at Quantum that I simply stopped talking to them. I can describe your program in two words "negligence" and "stupidity." Do you understand what you are doing? There are some positive aspects of the Watershed program. Your staff is nice and supportive, you got me clean, and the facility gave me a chance to recover. One other matter from the apartments, Barry is unprofessional and should be fired. He walked into my apartment and farted four times while I was doing homework from the Therapist. He also accused me of being drunk, which I was not, and me and my roommate both took breathalyzers and drug tests. The tests were not the issue, I knew I'd pass, it was his conduct. It was so unprofessional that I stopped talking altogether.

I used live chat because I only have a …lifeline cell phone from assurance wireless I used live chat because I only have a lifeline cell phone. The chat person,Jacob,was friendly until I told him I only have Medicaid,then he gave me information for a govt site I had already been to,when I tried to reply for more help,I was cut off from the chat abruptly. Can't call them because my lifeline cell isn't working. Tried over and over to start new chat session..it won't let me,keeps saying to call the phone number. If I had insurance maybe they will let me chat and get help,I'm lost for now.

***(HONESTY, OPEN~MINDNESS & WILLINGNESS)~H.O.W.*** ~Being at Watershed introduced me to myself while I was in darkness. I was lonely, confused and could not fathom the thought of being struck with the deadly disease of alcoholism. While attending the Watershed I had a lot of counseling, peer support and and an environment that encompassed a world that was a tribe of folks "just like me." It took numerous efforts and a tenacious Husband to help me see that I am OK and as long as I allowed the Watershed's mission to come inside ME that I could be on my way to a better life. I began in 2009 drinking heavily, but the disease was there all along. It just had different outfits! I am proud of who I have become. ~Treatment isn't easy. I can't sugar coat that (gets better) , but after its over with what you've been advised through the watershed's program there is an "easier softer way." If you need help~ call. You'll live a lot longer and happier "today."
