Pros
The other clinicians are skilled and caring. They make the job a bit more bearable. They also go out of their way for clients despite being run ragged by the structure of the program.
Cons
No paid vacation, 3 sick days a year, and always having to find your own coverage if you're taking time off. The owner is basically Trump - profits at any cost, even to the detriment of clients and employees. Major false advertising. If you view the website you'd think you're going to a luxury rehab where you eat healthy food, surf, and get top of the line group therapy! Nope. It's basically a recovery sweatshop, with no break in routine so the owner can bill as much as possible each day. The clinicians plan nice things for clients eventually, but are given a shoestring budget and even make some purchases on their own. Honestly it feels like an insurance scam that allows the owner to pay off his beach properties. The treatment provided is no better than county-funded programs, but the clients are reminded that they get to live near the beach, so they should be happy with what they get. Clients get pressured to delete negative reviews regularly. Medication has been withheld by poorly trained house managers when clients aren't "clean" enough. Relapses result in the client being sent back to detox immediately, whether they are actually acutely detoxing or not. Also a lot of condescending judgemental talk by non-clinician staff, who all subscribe to the paternalistic viewpoint of abstinence based sobriety as the only definition of recovery. Groups involve cramming as many people as possible into a room, with multiple interruptions. The rooms look as though they are falling apart. But as long as the owner walks away with profit, who cares? They're "saving lives."
