This house saved my life. Plain and simple. Yes it is strict. Yes there are rules, yes the staff is stern but man do they love hard. It teaches you things you wont even come to realize you needed till after you leave. I recommend anyone and everyone seeking a new life attend there.
I graduated here in November 2017 I spent 4 months in this halfway house and it helped my whole life and everything around it I am very thankful fortunate to be able to experience the evergreen house and I would highly recommend anyone who struggles with addiction thats a female to give it a try. It is very structured just a fair warning but thats what you need when you struggle with addiction.
Terrible, terrible people who have no care for patients dealing with illness. They will build up your hope for care, up to the morning you are expecting to go there, only to tear out your heart by not showing up to get you when promised. Not even a call to warn you. Pious people who are not nearly caring enough to take care of the people in their charge. I know of at least one Hospital that will never recommend this place.
I was kicked out of this program and didnt complete it at 100%...why? Well Im gay and extremely opinionated. I spoke up about favoritism issues from some of the staff that was there at the time, I spoke up about the homophobia.. I just spoke up. They dont like that. The person I was accused of being inappropriate with was truly just my friend. They already knew I was gay and had addressed it at a house mtg but then when said friend of mine laid HER head on MY shoulder and I stroked her hair 2 maybe 3 times on when she was upset... That was it. I was reamed out for having no boundaries and the staff had a mtg to decide what to do next. Some of the staff told me to write w letter to the Director in order to advocate for myself... It was pointless. Now I may sound like one who hates this program but Im not. I highly disagree with some of their views and methods BUT there is a lot that I took away from their program that I am grateful for. I hope they learn to be less hypocritical as individuals so that others like me can complete 100%
Lydia everyone there is above n beyond amazing
I entered Evergreen on 8/24/18. I had a ton of problems and did not think I was able to change. I heard from staff and friends that I was a hot mess There were many days that I wanted to give up and leave. I had a major attitude and was very defiant. Over time people were noticing my change and that also brought it to my attention. Evergreen is a structured program and a hard one to complete. If you are ready to surrender I highly recommend this program. All staff is amazing and caring. But you have to learn to take constructive criticism, surrender to your addiction and change whatever is needed. The best thing I learned at evergreen was how to get through a bad day without picking up amongst a lot of others. I found an amazing sponsor and supports and utilize them regularly. I also have learned how to have healthy relationships with people in recovery and to maintain them in a genuine mannor. I know I would not be as far as I am today without that half-way house. I completed on 1/16/19 at 100% and have a new outlook and passion for life. If your truly ready to surrender to your addiction and change your ways this is the place.Sincerely, Lisa Strawser. 😀😇
