Alcoholism Center for Women

I would warn if you are serious about your recovery don't go here. Please read my review on yelp. I don't want to write all of that over.

The staff is rude and abrasive their classes are a waste of time they spend a lot of time giving us consequences and yelling at us they lock us out of our room till 4:00 the food is horrible very nutritious but very bad staff never helps they say they're always there for you but when you need medical or mental for business help they just push you away and never help you we can't see our own doctors and they refuse to take us to DPSS they only take us once a month and it's like pulling teeth like they're doing us a favor

CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER!!!! The compassionate, professional staff lifted me out of the gutter and gave me an entirely new life. I was a hopeless alcoholic who had been to treatment many times. ACW treated not only my alcoholism but my trauma. Charlene, the lead counselor, is highly professional. The entire staff knows what it is talking about and got this stubborn alcoholic to accept medical, therapeutic, nutritional, physical, and spiritual solutions. The depth and breadth of what ACW offers is incomparable, even with respect very expensive treatment centers. Thank you ACW. I can never repay my debt to your organization.

I'm grateful for ACW because it helped me to stay sober by keeping my busy. However, the education is outdated...there is little if any discussion of trauma and most of the counselors are not trauma-informed or aware of the connection to trauma and addiction. Most of the education is "at" the clients versus helping us to process our issues and trauma that brought us there in the first place. There were also no AA meetings and only 1 NA meeting per week. Some of the counselors truly care and are kind and compassionate (Cathy, Barb, Rose...). The head counselor, strangely, is the most unprofessional. Many reports were made while I was there but nothing changed. When someone asked questions or challenged her, she quickly resorted to threatening to kick them out (knowing that some would face jail time if they left). When one of my friends graduated she told her "I can't wait until you're gone!" This place would be great if the adopted a trauma-informed approach with kindness and compassion, started doing AA, ACA or NA meetings daily and addressed unprofessional behaviors with staff.
