A Forever Recovery has sought to bring together many different trained licensed professionals or certified recovering members of many different modalities that have a background in the addictions field.

it is s my understanding that currently there are at least 20 active US Attorney General investigations, 2 wrongful death lawsuits and 5-7 medical mal practice suits as well as a plethora of insurance frued complaints.  my daughter is in law school and found several depositions.  Paticularly one involving the former director of nursing and also former employees who testified about patient practices.  You should go to the state of michigan and look up the complaints. I recall that some of the physicians they claimed to be on site didnt even have a license, i assure you there is no dr. On site. they are liars and i think you could do research and find attorneys who are representing others like yourself. Google AForever recovery is a scam there are numerous websites out there working hard to reveal the truth about this organization. Pamela Anderson the facilatator at Forever Recovery is the sister of Per Wixstrom google that to. Good luck. 

afr detox in battle creek.  I was there for 7 days and never once did a dr. Step foot into the slum house.  There is a hot tub, 1 not 2.  

The water is undrinkable we could not brush our teeth or shower there.  The toliets dont flush if staff is using washing machines, so often times the toliet was full of feces or vomit.

Each night we would walk over to the seperate rehab facility to shower. there are only 2 shower stalls. I had to  use the handicapped stall no shower curtain and no shower head. The water would run down the wall and i would position myself as best i could to get the water and wash myself the entire time i was in 4 inches of standing water. 

The staff in the detox house treated me with love and kindness all of the staff there had been thru the program and understood where i was emotionally. my desire to get sober was stronger and more important to me then the lies they told me to get me in there so the horrendous living conditions were not going to keep me from getting thru detox

the ladies rooms are in the basement and i can only say that it felt like a dungeon. The bathroom walls were rotted no water pressure to wash hands but sanitizer was provided. The sulfer smell was horrific, i grew up in well water and this was nothing like i ever experienced before.  Disgusting.  i was there in June 2015. Lets keep it real.  I never came across any fellow patients who said wow "this place is so nice and its everything they said it was" 

im only responding here in regards to the detox house. I have much to share about the rehab building, their staff, those facilities the lies the MRT program and how they disciplined patients, the scam.  we all wished we were back at the slum house so i promise you the struggle was real i will post about that in another topic. 

 I also am a former client from 2011. First of all the detox center does also have it's own sauna, as well as two hot tubs and a gym. A doctor also visits the site daily at the detox center. And yes, this is normal with all rehabs. Secondly, blue cross blue shield does cover AFR. I have that insurance and my bill was covered in full aside from labs and detox medications. AFR saved my life and without it I would not have several years clean, nor gotten into college and am now only 2 terms from graduating with a degree in criminal justice. They also went above and beyond and I still am in contact with several employees from when I was there.

First things first, this lady has not a clue about rehab centers whatsoever. I am a former client of AFR in 2011. Today I have almost 3 years clean and it is all due to the foundation of my recovery which started at AFR. Allow me to clear a few things up, Unless your going to a state funded rehab, your going to have to pay something, as AFR is privately owned.

Upon entering most treatment facilities, they are going to put you in their detox facility before they bring you over to the rehab. (I know this because I have been to them and bring meetings into rehabs every week, so I know what I'm talking about). Hiring new employees and letting people go is a part of any company so I don't know why this would be relavent to this woman's post,

but during my 90 day stay there the staff was pretty much the same, they're are many employees that work there between the management the counselors the cleaning staff the security the drivers the kitchen employees the gym staff as well as the specialists they bring in from outside, the the fact that they let go of 6 people shouldn't be surprising. 

My son just graduated from A Forever Recovery. It was a great adult experience for him and a great recovery. They got through to him with things he now understands. He wrote 100's of pages about himself to find out what was bothering him. The group sessions opened his personality up to understand the real world. Find a graduate and ask him for a referrence about A Forever Recovery.  Don't believe all this ripoff report because they are not true.

Experienced the exact same circumstances with my son.

I contacted the Attorney General office of Michigan, and essentially they did not or would not help me.

Was out sooooooo much money because had to pay up front to get my son in the program.

The conditions were deplorable yet their attorney denied everything.

Do you or anyone else know of a way we can start some kind of class action suit against this lying, deceiving, pathetic place.  They are nothing but liars!
