I was a patient at Recovery Village Indianapolis
I was a patient at Recovery Village in Indianapolis until July 20, 2024. Overall, my experience at this facility exceeded my expectations in many areas. The staff were generally attentive, the facilities were well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was conducive to recovery. However, I encountered a significant issue that impacted my overall satisfaction. I sought help specifically for a chemical dependency problem and had no issues with other areas of my treatment. Despite my clear communication regarding my needs, the doctors and nurse practitioners decided to intervene in areas I had not requested assistance with. Particularly troubling was their decision to remove a medication that I had been taking for nearly 20 years as a PRN (as-needed) treatment for anxiety attacks. I made it clear that I did not want to change this aspect of my treatment, as it was not the reason for my visit. Despite this, they placed me back into a detox program for this medication, which I found unnecessary and counterproductive, especially since I was not using it when I arrived and explained that I would continue to use this medication when I left the facility if I needed it for anxiety. In the end, I chose to leave the program because my primary concern was not being addressed, and I felt that my input and history with my medication were not being respected. While Recovery Village has many strengths, I hope they can improve their approach to individualized care and respect patients' specific requests and histories in the future.
