I have nothing but positive things to say about Brookside. The inpatient program saved me. The fact that you are offered a recovery method outside of 12 steps is unlike many other treatment options. Giving you genuine guidance and tools to make recovery possible IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE THAT CHANGE FOR YOURSELF. The staff is incredible. Knowledgeable, non judgemental and you're treated with respect from the second you walk through the doors. You are aligned with a counselor to guide you through your journey. The facility is impeccably clean and the sweet cleaning staff are an added bonus. My stay during difficult Covid times was handled with precaution and every effort was taken to keep staff and patients safe, masked and socially distanced. I gave four stars because it isn't perfect. It could be a warmer facility. ie; lighting, paint color, carpets, inspirational pictures or quotes. The food choices are limited and get tiresome after three weeks, but you definitely aren't under fed. Bring your own blanket and pillow as well. It is a hospital environment so those items aren't very comfortable, but they are provided. Overall I am pleased with my experience and would most definitely recommend Brookside to those in need of such a program.
