While at Wilmington Treatment Center, they lied about the statements I made and I was involuntarily comitted 'as a danger to myself or others' - I am one of the most gentle people and don't raise my voice, and am totally nonviolent, and only suffer from a mild alcoholism / addictive tendancies I wanted to get taken care of. Officer Cowart of the Wilmington Police Department informed me, as he was taking me away - That Wilmington Treatment often Involuntarily Commits patients without probable cause, and 'far too often in his opinion' and he would support my complaint. This facilty is a haunt of demons and evil in all ways in purpose, though there are the occasional kind staff, they want to do you evil in my opinion. Patients were singing 'Smoke Weed Everyday' in the hallways, and I am filing criminal malpractice against the center in the hope you never go here, and they are shut down for good, as this is the worst treatment at a medical facility I have received in my life.
I consider myself as a pretty reasonable person and never go out of my way to write google reviews, in fact this is my first and maybe only google review. The reason I write this is to warn other people about coming to WTC. Especially those going in for benzo withdrawal. My CNS and body is still in shock from the ultra rapid detox they did, and it's been about 3 months since I walked out. I feel really bad for some of the people in there who were on benzodiazepines longer than I was. If your looking for quality care, hospitality, knowledgeable and available staff, and a comfortable detox, then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do your research on finding a better facility than this one!
I seen 2 Od's while there, weekends are joke no real rehabilitation. Food
I found the experience to be very poor in just about every way. Food was poor, as a matter of fact I can cook better over a camp fire. There are however a small group of people that care and knowledgeable. I recemind finding somewhere else to go
Your loved one will not have phone access till they moved to housing which is in the ghetto packed housing black mold. And drugs will be offered to them pretty much everyday. Never send a loved one here a lot of Hep C n disease runs rabid also they give u all kind of jobs from washing dishes to picking up cigs yet maintance gets a claw pick up tool but when they get patients to do it you get a bag n have to pick up every individual one ☝
WARNING!!!!!!!!!
I never thought I would be one to write a google review, but I had to on this horrendous establishment. If you're detoxing from benzodiazepines this place will be your worst nightmare. The rule of thumb is that one should taper slowly off benzodiazepines, especially if you've been on them long term, but at WTC they totally stop your prescription, give you phenobarbital for week, and expect you to be fine and able to participate in classes and function once you're out of detox.
I don’t know what I was expecting but this was an awful experience. We went into “lockdown “ situations daily due to patients medical conditions. The program has great potential but the right hand and the left hand have absolutely no communication with each other. I was told they were also sending me to a halfway house after detox so following detox I left against medical advice. The fear and intimidation tactics to keep patients to stay with the fear of nonpayment of insurance is horrible. Place is dirty. Roaches in the halls and mold in the air conditioning units, plastic pillows and HARD mattress which makes the detox that much more uncomfortable. The food is disgusting and I would not feed it to an animal.
I wish everyone the best on there recovery and sobriety :)
After "detoxing" my central nervous system was in total shock from how fast and inaccurately they take you off of these things. After detox, they move you over to these trashed houses infested with black mold, rats, leftover drug paraphernalia, where an agro man storms in at 5:30am every morning, screaming for you to wake up. I didn't sleep for the five days I was there. I asked repeatedly, several times to see a doctor, but my counselor or the nurses would never help me. I considered hanging myself the entire time I was there, mostly due to the lack of care and empathy from the staff. My last two days there, I laid on the cold ground behind a wall, sleep deprived and crying to hide from the chaos. A TA walked up to me, nudged me, and looked at my name tag for roll call without even asking if I was okay. The last day I was there I hit psychosis after not sleeping for five days. I was crying and pitching a fit and all I wanted to do was to talk to someone who could help me, but the counselor said he was too busy and the nurses just didn't seem to care, or know what to do.
My first rehab to come off prescription anxiety meds without seizure. I was giving 14 pills 4x a day no real doctor on sight when someone goes down they call ems cause no real medical staff exists here.
The nurses throw you random cocktails of antidepressant sleeping pills, without looking up side effects or drug interactions. I saw more narcotic drugs then I've ever seen in my life. I saw people having sex outside and smoking crack. There's no security. Dirty bathrooms, with toilet seats frequently covered in diarrhea and vomit. No escape from chronic cigarette smoke. The food is all processed, fake, with tons of preservatives, which ended up making me sick and took me almsost two months for my gut to recover. The whole establishment is flawed. They use scare tactics to try and get you to stay, by threatening you with your insurance, because they want to get as much money out of you as possible. I could seriously go on and on about the how screwed the system is here. Sadly, most of the TAs and nurses hate this place too.
They call themselves a hospital when really your just sheep hurdled by TA's more drugs then I have ever seen in a rest home setting. Mold in bathroom caught thrush in first few days was told they had some used antibiotics floating around never got had to get family to bring n then told they couldn't store in in fridge so it was pointless. I'm getting billed at home for meds they gave me!!! They prescribe Zoloft,methadone,suboxone and don't go over the side effects.
