Complaint Review: las vegas recovery center

 Expensive. A ripoff on a grand scale.

I went there --LVRC-- and received indifferent and sometimes very strange treatment. Depressing!

 My advisor/councelor said that I had to believe in God or a higher power but I politely said that I don’t believe in those things. They called my husband to complain about me and he laughed. Whats up with that?

Yoga, massage, and meditation were good stuff. Met nice friends, fellow patients.

I think that once a medical center or clinic gets down to religion or spirituality---whats the difference? Anybody know?—its very depressing because that means they are at the end of the medical treatment rope I’m told. ( I had 3 friends die of cancer) I think religion is fine, don’t get me wrong, I just didn’t expect so much pressure by the staff people. I asked the psychologist about all this and he danced around the subject like a lawyer…very confusing for me and everyone.

If “Smart Recovery” is a non-religious help group, (thats what I go to now) why didn’t they tell us about them?

All I can tell you is that my sister went to LVRC after I did. She committed suicide two months later. She was very depressed and had a much harder time there than I did.

I’m not sure I can blame the center, but my family wants to sue them. (They make you sign a hundred legal forms when you are admitted to the center just for this type of situation)
