im an adolescence at new life lodge threw dcs custody.. the 35 days ive been here i have only had 2 real na groups and they were at a free outside group called dafa house. they havent taught me anything.. i ask/beg all the time to get a more intensive treatment but all they do is lie or say you are in the wrong place hours ofthis is a behavior faciltity. your supposed to have atleast 4 group a day and 2 na meetings a week wich is on the contract. but you do about two 30 minute groups a day, and all it is is a feelings check and then people just talk and ignore the councelor. its bad and im here to help dcs and private payers to save the money and do not fall for the scam they feed you. its a total joke and the staff always talks about how bad it is and how we dont learn anything... dont let anyone tell you different, take it from someone who has been there 35 days and has 85 days left.the only reason a kid should go here is if he doesnt want to get help and just wants to look good for court
Pros: nice staff
Cons: no real groups or any structure. dont work a program
