This was where my life was destroyed. After having a psychological breakdown at the end of college, I ask for mental health help. Spencer Recovery lied to my parents about being dual diagnostic. When arriving patients were passing around vodka and it took staff over 4 hours to realize. This place is a majority heroin/meth inpatient rehab. Due to not exhibiting signs of addiction they took my prescribed valium and denied me a detox. This is where I developing a cigarette addiction as the first thing they do is give you free cigarettes without asking if you smoke or not. Within four days I had developed severe involuntary movement. When first called into the office by my counselor (ex addict who got hired by doing their program) I thought it might be concern, instead I was berated for not attending group due to the fact he doesn't get paid if I didn't. Without his heroin or money he couldn't control his emotions, AS A COUSELOR. While I tried to stay to prove my parents wrong, the nerve damage and pain was too much. The staff, Dr, and PA all ignored my concerns and it was actually the patients who told me I needed to leave. They didn't understand how someone was there for valium when they gave valium to everyone else. They have zero psychiatrists and zero psychologists as staff, only therapists that volunteer to come.
After: my first seizure was about 4 months later and the severe seizure 10 months after. After that I was prescribed valium again and still take it today to deal with what Spencer's did to me. On my first seizure I met a different counselor handcuffed to a hospital bed in the ER with security. He said he would be back to work in two months and that was the minimum to get his job back, his intoxicated words not mine. Don't send anyone you love to this location if you expect them to still love you. My experience was awhile ago and I guess I only now have the confidence to admit I was even here.
