Amity Foundation Circle Tree Ranch

I just want to say with the foundation that I learned there in 2008 it was a great experience for me. I don't know if half the people are even there as far as management goes anymore but I did Relapse and then I got into another program but it was your foundation that kept me above water today I am celebrating 12 years clean and sober it should be 13 on this same date. But by the grace of God for my higher power I've made it this far and I am eternally grateful for what I've learned while I was there.

A truly terrible place, Amity should only be considered as a last resort. Most of the people there have been sent by court-order or are fresh out of jail. The counselors are uneducated, although very fluent in the language of drug addiction. The rooms are dirty and the facilities are frightening. The food is not nutritious and is borderline inedible. Unless you have run out of all other options, do not send anyone you love to Amity.

Amity's so-called "treatment scarred me for life. What happened to me there was worse than anything that happened with me when I was using drugs. And no one stays clean after leaving. How can you, when you've been subjected to such d trauma by the so-called "couselors" and the monsters who run Amity. Stay away from Anity and don't send anyone you care about there.

Amity is a shame-based "rehab" . I'd recommend staying as far away from it as possible. I was diagnosed with PTSD directly related to what I suffered there.

I am so grateful to Circle Tree Ranch for giving me my son back. He is now healthy, happy, excited motivated for his future and he is not only invested in his recovery, he is interested and engaged in it in a way that I didn’t know was possible. I am blown away at how much he has changed in the three months he has been there. I did a lot of research on Rehabilitation Centers; including conducting many interviews. I only found a handful of facilities that I felt genuinely were in business to help people as opposed to making money off of desperate people. I let my adult son choose from these and he chose wisely CTR based on his personality. It turned out to be a lovely open place with really good energy. I felt great about his choice! He is very happy he made this choice and calls it a "great place". He has replaced the substance abuse with maintaining a healthy body and mindset. He still knows that he has to keep this momentum going and has taken the next step by entering into sober living. My son can be a hard one to crack and they didn’t crack him; they got him to want to be sober and to love it. That doesn’t mean that it was easy for him. It wasn’t; especially at first with the withdrawal symptoms and mood swings that occur for awhile even after detox. He felt like quitting several times, but this is a determined group of compassionate people who were obviously very skilled at keeping him on track. I think one of the biggest problems with many rehabs is that they are not compassionate for the people they are serving. CTR treated my son with dignity. I can’t thank everyone at Circle tree enough. Thanks to everyone there that touched my son. You are all angels to me.
