The Brook Retreat is the best long term, mens only facility in the world. Recommended stay is 6-9months, but they fly by while making lots of new friends. No narcotics of any kind are allowed during your stay and drug and alcohol testing is regular and mandatory. Most non-narcotic medications are allowed but ultimately they want to help you wean yourself off of certain medications. They use the AA method and a patient would be learning from the best teachers of what the Big Book of AA has to offer. They keep you busy but not overworked in any capacity and are open, honest, and helpful too all clients. The management all truly care about their residents and want everyone to get better. A beautiful house and grounds with lots of privacy just down the street form a shopping mall and restaurants for easy jobs when the time comes. Overall, I had one of the best experiences of my life in the 6 months I lived there.
As a first timer to rehab, I was sooo impressed with Naukeag. Some of the highlights were cell phone and computer use, mostly single bed rooms, good food, freedom to leave the property for walks, hikes or with family, great staff that cared and motivated patients, and lots of free time. I was only disappointed in not receiving a refill on a new prescription I was prescribed for high blood pressure. They tripled my dose half way through the treatment and I only had a few days left of medication by the time I left. I received refills for all the other psychiatric medications but not this "medical" one. I saw improvements on my blood pressure on my home device and was just confounded they wouldn't refill this prescription. I'm waiting until I see my NP in a couple weeks to have it refilled. The facility was good because of the freedoms. It was clean, well run, and inspiring. The only weakness I saw was the nursing staff and this was only a small weakness. Some of the nursing staff were a little moody at times. This may have been due to importance of the job with restricted medications (I wasn't on any).
