"Thank you, then, for the short-term option that Rivercrest offers and for the care of generous and hard-working staff. "

My decision to self-admit for alcohol detoxification came after some thirty or so years of increasing dependency on alcohol and the realization that I needed to stop drinking. Although in and out of AA over recent years, I’d never come to a place where I could no longer function in daily life, but I knew where my life was going, I could not miss a day’s drinks, I was afraid to withdraw myself, and I wanted help. While thirty-day stays complete with initial recovery therapy are likely better, I knew that my current options were limited. The short-term detox program at Rivercrest seemed ideal. And it was. I left there determined to return to therapy and AA, and I am continuing on that path with sobriety, one day at a time. Thank you, then, for the short-term option that Rivercrest offers and for the care of generous and hard-working staff. On my exit survey, I noted tech nurses Gina and Martha, but I failed to mention Tess who also was exceptional in every way. I also singled out medical nurse Jennifer for special mention. In truth, all the staff were kind and caring. Also, Dr. Berkshire and Dr. Mayes were most helpful and encouraging. You mentioned that there might be plans to make one of the wards exclusively a chemical dependency (CD) ward. I applaud that move and hope that will happen.
