2016-08-06Beyond unorganized! Saturdays are a joke. They made people stand outside on one of the coldest days of the year for hours! Ill admit they try, but theres only so much employees can do. The owner only cares about money. Also many of the counselors are racist. If you are white, then to them you cant possibly know what its like to be poor!!! Certain counselors make it very difficult fir people who have actual legit careers as well! This place is a joke. So much of what they do is illegal, but they get away with it because they are a legal drug dealer and their cluents need them....just like they needed the dope man! If you want REAL HELP, dont go to FOLA. And as another patient stated, I also have Ms. D. and was told I was using someone elses urine due to low creatine! Creatine has NOTHING to do with the age of urine and doesnt point to someone elses urine. I dont eat much and all i drink is water so i naturally have low creatine....but dont tell ms. D that! She knows everything! Of course there was nothing wrong with my drops until i was fighting for my take-home medication though. She lies to my face constantly! Not to mention yrs ago when i was on probation and my old counselor threatened me saying she could send me back to prison...all of a sudden after a year of clean drops, i had dirty drops without using! These people are corrupt. The people giving good reviews havent been there long enough yup have been asked to backdate paperwork by 6 months or more!! I hate to play the race card, but the black counselors are definitely racist towards white people who go there. It is really sad. We all just want help and quality of care that we as HUMAN BEINGS deserve! Dont waste your time or money by going here. You WILL end up paying even if your insurance covers methadone. They have an excuse for everything!

2017-04-05This place isnt nearly as bad as most of these reviews claim it is. Personally Ive been to 4 rehabs since 2013. People act like rehabs are supposed to cater to the individual person. It doesnt work like that. You pay for what you get. If you want to get custom treatment then expect to pay top dollar for the service then. While we where in active addiction, we didnt complain about the people,places and things we had to do to get are fix for the day. Now that a person wants to stop there abusive drug use, we are supposed to get 5 star service due to our bad choices and insane actions. Ofcorse there will always be some type of discrepancies when it comes to this type of environment. You have to keep the big picture in mind, dont let other peoples experiences compromise you. We are still blessed these places exsit. I seen a post where someone is getting a lawyer. Its these issues that are causing clinics to close and having clinics so raise rates. Why dont you sue the drug dealer that you got your drugs from? Bottom line this place has the tools to get you off the street drugs. Provide doctors guidance, pain refilef and information to help individuals make better choices. Unless you have the money to go to a Betty Ford style rehab, be grateful for what we get for the price we pay. We where spending ten times the money while we where in active addiction. Rehab is not supposed to be easy & cater to us. We as adults made the choice to goto a particular rehab. The rehabs did force us to come. FOLA like any other clinic has its issues but nothing out of the ordinary. This place is pretty laid back for the most part. The groups are spread out decently. If you are required to do 2 groups a week, you have plenty of choices. Unlike another clinic where you have to do 3 groups a week if you have insurance. They picked the 3 days you had to go. If you are more than 5 minutes later it a missed group. 3 missed groups then you are put on the $40 a week plan.At FOLA, if you have county care you may be able to be picked up daily. HRDI or Renewed Hope didnt have that option.

2017-06-09Im just sick of the Saturday list!! And we all need to remember not everyone in rehab or methadone clinics are in recovery! So work on you & dont worry about others! Ask for help! If you dont get help after you ask for it then move on. All these clinics are over packed! The GOV. Doesnt help them that much so they do what they Can! The bathrooms would look nice if people would stop messing them up! Idk what they did this week but its been in & out!! Now they need to change Saturdays! Get rid of the list! The lady that has the list now puts her friends names on it before they get there and people act like the list is a crack pipe or that theres a hand out going on! Its a list!! To drink methadone!! Really? Grow up! They all fight like animals!! Im next to sign it!! Pushing people down and fighting over a damn list!!! Theres nothing wrong w the clinic its the people that go there! There is a lot of racism, bullying & just a ton of B.S. going on! I cant even bring squares with me cause ill be surrounded by beggars begging me for a square or to buy some off me! Smh! The staff is Ok, its the people at the clinic. If we would all respect each other it would be better! But will that ever happen? Doubt it

2014-10-07The intake process was quick profrestional and prompt. the staff is caring and understanding of each and every clients personal needs and is eager and willing to help in any way possible.for such a large case load i comend the entire staff for there organization. Upper management are personable and easy to get along with,and for the staff that show up at the break of dawn along with us,well lets just say your contribution to the whole process is without equal. You all steer the ship and wed all sink without you. Thank You Fola and continue being that beacon of hope. Timothy John Huesman..

2017-04-18It does matter how the clinic looks,its what you put in to your recovery ,you get what you put in. And as far as counseling goes there are a couple there who helped save my life and one was MS Dee. People have to remember the counselors are not there to hold your hand. Thank you FOLA.
