Wilmington Treatment Center makes it a point to meet clients wherever they are in their journey to recovery. The residential rehab treats drug and alcohol addiction, as well as co-occurring mental health disorders, with a combination of evidence-based methods and 12-Step principles. Armed with the knowledge that addiction is a treatable disease, and that individuals need to open up about their issues in order for treatment to be truly effective, the highly qualified staff creates a compassionate, supportive and nurturing environment that’s designed to make clients feel comfortable.

Marginal treatment and facilities, overcrowded, understaffed. But, Sobriety can be had here if you want it!
Horrible! Do NOT send your loved ones here. Its a disgrace that they are even open.

The facility is pretty bare bones. One main factor for people choosing this rehab center is the fact that they allow smoking. I have been here several times and the staff has always been helpful. Than...
It would take me too long to type. Honestly I'm not sure how they are in business from nutrition to staffing it's just so wrong.
Horrible place I think it's all about them making money the staff was horrible as well
okay facility with moderate effectiveness. great location and variety of activities. very little follow up.
Upon admission they take your valuables (wallet, driver's license, identification cards, bank cards etc) and hold them for you in safe keeping so you can't leave. They even take your suitcase for the ...

Horable experience. Doctors are non-existent. Therapy is non-existent. This place should be shut down.

How can this play be rated more then 1 star? I went through there twice in 2015 and it was a joke. It needs to really be shut down. Every corner is cut to improve profit margins. The counselor to pat...

On site AA and NA meetings. Onsite chapel church services, experience healing with music, leisure activities, and yoga. Discharge planning and help getting into a sober house. Lots of staff are in rec...
Insurance covered it. Needs more than relying on aa. It did the job and gave help I needed
no computers or a lot of after care they set strong standards that every one takes time to parpisapate in group discussians
Well trained, clean, pleasant. Not up to date with technology, somewhat understaffed. A good center that helped me a lot. I would recommend this center to those in need, for sure.
Understanding and compassionate. Disorganized. Great experience and very understanding
The facility was convenient to our family and relatively easy to gain admission to. The counselors did not have ample time to devote to individual needs. For the cost of treatment, food was just so-so...
Being able to talk without worry. Not enough one on one time with counselors. They offer you what you need and it's up to you as to whether you use the tools or not.
People were nice
they focus on cour problems. no church sevises for all denomanations on sundays. more informed on the classies you need to attened let you no before hand not on a bourd
They have 30 day rehab plans. They need to have weekly drug test performed in a manner that can not be faked. The family member stated how drugs was still being used without the center knowing that i...
They didn't keep them long enough. There was not any follow-up. When they went back to drinking I called the counselor but I never received a call back. I called because they broke their neck after dr...
They were recommended to me by family. The treatment and accommodations were great.
They do have a few caring staff members and it is a smoke friendly facility. They have old buildings and they need more nutritious food. It is an overall good treatment facility!
They are out to make money off insurance companies. Stay away.
The staff is pleasant and seem to care. However, physical activities are lacking and grouping patients by age would be helpful.
The staff was good and well experienced. However, there is a lack of follow up.
Strengths include: cleanliness, treatment effectiveness, counseling, physical fitness. The location was the only downfall. I think it is a great place.
The medical doctor was great; however, they need to fill the idle time between sessions.
A friend went there are made a full recovery from his addiction. The staff is great.
The medications they provided were beneficial. However, there was too much free time during the day and it was way too long.
Great place to go for treatment of substance abuse. The staff and employees were great.
The staff was excellent; they really care and they really listen with no judgment.
The facility is clean and well-maintained. The food was alright though, not outstanding. There were not enough counselors on staff to provide the one on one therapy that patients need. There also were...
The counselors were well trained and caring; there was great one-on-one care.
Other people have had good experiences at this program. Son had "new counselor" and didn't feel she knew a lot. Counselor for family program was awful. However, they kept my son for two weeks and got...
Overall effectiveness of counselors was good. Met good people and they were honest about their situation. Price was an obstacle. Overall a good experience, from 1 to 10 it was about a 6.
At the time I was there the staff had a strong TA staff who had direct experience with addiction - it felt supportive and I hope that has developed into a more formal peer program. The Medical directo...
The staff was extremely supportive and they had good holistic offerings.
They helped me get aftercare. It worked for me-- I started the 12 Steps.
This place is all about the money. They do not care about the patients well being. When my son was discharged tried for weeks to have his medical records released so he could continue treatment elsewh...
The rehab facility was clean. The food was so so. It is a group oriented approach. I wish there was more one on one time. This treatment facility relies heavily on the 12 steps. I believe this helps m...
Son went for wrong reason and did not follow through after leaving.
The Utilization Review Department falsifies information to the insurance nurse so the patient can stay longer.
It was a truly great facility.
WTC is not a 5 star resort like some of the other treatment places you can go too, but what it lacks in amenities (swimming pools, fitness room) in makes up for in people who care about getting you th...
All the patients and facility members made you feel extremely welcome. Was an extremely easy facility to feel welcomed and comfortable at.
They offered assistance with half way house.
