The Watershed Rehab
My experience at The Watershed was wonderful. I owe my life to them. The educational classes were paramount...they taught me the reasons of why I drink and other life's problems. They are really loving, caring people. I like how all of the staff is in recovery so they know what you're feeling. I would definitely recommend The Watershed to anybody who has a problem and wants to get clean and sober. I was tired of my life and hurting myself all the time, so it was a God-send for me.

Drugs/AWOLs are Rampant
Dear Watershed and staff, I have brought to your attention innumerable times the fact that your facility is overwhelmed by drug use and AWOLs. I talked to my Therapist there, and he told me that Watershed has a strict three AWOL limit. I responded by saying "you have a three permission slip rule." You also do not enforce your rules. A patient who was there and who I will call C AWOLed at least six times. Why was he not thrown out? A rule without enforcement is no rule at all. My Therapist said C had to endure a harsh discussion with all of the Therapists as a punishment. I have had more stressful days at work. Let's talk about drug use. Whose idea was it to place addicts in run-down apartments next to known drug dealers? Are you incompetent morons? You get the outcomes you have prepared for yourself. So many people were on drugs at Quantum that I simply stopped talking to them. I can describe your program in two words "negligence" and "stupidity." Do you understand what you are doing? There are some positive aspects of the Watershed program. Your staff is nice and supportive, you got me clean, and the facility gave me a chance to recover. One other matter from the apartments, Barry is unprofessional and should be fired. He walked into my apartment and farted four times while I was doing homework from the Therapist. He also accused me of being drunk, which I was not, and me and my roommate both took breathalyzers and drug tests. The tests were not the issue, I knew I'd pass, it was his conduct. It was so unprofessional that I stopped talking altogether.
watershead
Detox all the way top iop is good bit once you get to the watersheads halfway it's like a massive s*** storm the apts are terrible the landlord Bobby is a total sum bag. You could owe 150 in rent and he will come up to you and say thats worng you owe 500 even if you have all your receipts then tell you be out by 5am
I am indebted to The Watershed for giving me the education and support that has enabled a better quality of life.
Although I was court mandated, the professionals at The Watershed stood by me for over three months. They identified crucial behavioral traits I slowly came to accept. Through repetition and lessons in tolerance their environment changed me. My transition back home proved the foundation formed was successful.
saved my life
was a very comfortable i didnt feel horrible and was able to learn the tools to keep me sober. I would send a family member or a child to the watershed if one of them needed help.
Great Program but some staff ruins it.
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.
A time to start over.
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!!
VERY effective
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.
Great but as with everything it can be better
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.
