Cottage Residential Center

So you get someone going in recovery and supposedly really care but when there is a threat of no coverage that all stops. Oh we don\'t care anymore it\'s all about the dollars !

Family counseling is above average Some staff can deter clients forward progress by using outdated counseling theory like being confrontational. Helpful in discharge planning

Fellowship was nice...I didn't like the coldness A lot of people in this facility didn't seem sincere. Most of the them had been through already.

Staff's level of training and/or experience; general program for both acute treatment and assistance to outpatient and the "alumni"were great :) As an extension of Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, I...

Adequate staffing, professional, high level of family involvement, off-site location (not in the hospital) and good aftercare.

Program itself is comprehensive and wonderful. A few staffing issues at that time were problematic. Over-all program is fabulous. I continued without patient/AA. Relapsed after 15 months.
