The Watersheds treatment program is extremely intense, it is a well designed program and some of the staff and therapists are fantastic, but the further you go through their program the worse their staff gets. In particular Bobby, the manager of the halfway and three quarters properties likes to talk down to people and treat them like he is a collector for the mafia. A sexually confused property manager named Mel decided to changer her name to Brandon so she could pursue guys and be a gay man instead of a straight woman. It made me uncomfortable that this was the person who checked my room 5 nights a week.

Not many people get this opportunity, if you have a chance to work with the watershed please do, their very sincere and caring. The employees are more often people in recovery as well which makes a huge difference. They gave me the tools and resources I needed to have a new start in life, I was a wreck when I came down here and now I'm happy to say that I'm clean a sober and have a real chance at making the most out of life, thank you guys for everything you've done!!

I want to say thank you to the Watershed for not only being there for me during a particularly difficult time, but also for teaching me the skills and mindset to truly gain recovery. I'm now 10 months clean and in recovery, and I've not even come close to breaking that streak. I just want to let everyone know that if you make sure to experience your treatment with an open mind, you follow all instructions, and do your reading and exercises, then you too can welcome a new life, which is worth more than words can express.

A great experience from inpatient through sober livin. Definitely could improve by having less turnover of all employees. They need a better approach to IOP and PHP. Not enough space and transportation could be improved. All in all I would greatly recommend it.

Great place and staff very knowledgable and helpful. One on one counseling when needed and groups discussion were very well planed and executed.

My name is Christy S. & I am a grateful recovering alcoholic. In April 2013 I was broken. I was hopeless, helpless, & faced everday with an impending sense of dread & shame. My lifelong struggle with alcohol had reached a point that I finally surrendered & admitted to my family that I had a problem I could not fix. After that coversation I began looking for a place to get "sober". What I found was so much more at The Watershed Treatment Facilty. I found understanding. I knew people in my life loved & cared for me, but they didn't "understand". The people at The Watershed did. They have been there, right where I was. I found structure & rules. I had guidelines to follow which I needed, considering my days had been structured around nothing more than alcohol for so many years. I found hope. I was lost with no hope in sight. Now I was surrounded by people who had done this & were happy! They were sharing their experience, strength & hope & showing me what I had been searching for, for so long. Most importantly was that it was possible! I found acceptance in friendships & comradery with my peers. They accepted me as the hopeless alcoholic that I was, without passing judgement. I found faith. Faith in something bigger than all this, faith in other people, faith in me! This had been gone so long, I wasn't even sure it could exist anymore. I found genuine caring from everyone I was surrounded by. No matter what my story was everyone cared about ME, not what I had done. I found the program & principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. This program that has worked for countless others is all there for me to take full advantage of, if I am willing to put forth the effort. One of the greatest things I have found along the way is myself. A little bit each day I am learning something new about me. I am growing in ways I never imagined possible. I am tackling this life "one day at a time" & I am doing it all without alcohol. This disease of alcoholism had controlled me for so long, I honestly believed this was the only way. The Watershed showed me a different way to cope & allowed me to finally start truly living! I owe them everything for where I am today & they continue to be an integral part of my recovery. They honestly did save my life with all the things I have "found" & what I countinue to learn on this journey. I am beyond grateful to be a recovering alcoholic.

Before coming to the watershed my life had hit rock bottom .and getting there I've learned somegood thing that I used daily.

I think that the Watershed is a wonderful place to go get sober. They provide a step down program with has great structure which all addicts need in early recovery. The techs and therapist are all wonderful and provide help in any aspect that you need. People say they only care about your money which I honestly believe is not the case. Of course it is a business and they want to make money however, they are very caring and want the best for there patients. They want to see people succeed and do the best thing for there lives. I loved my experience there and thought it was just an absolutely wonderful place with very little complaints.
