Lincoln Recovery

Lincoln Recovery was a great experience. There are several aspects of Lincoln that are awesome. The group facilitators are amazing. Each one truly cares about the clients. The therapists and addiction counselors are great too. Each one takes the time to listen and care. The in-house, peer-led AA/NA meetings are so great. The meetings allow the clients. To get acclimated to how the meetings work so that when we discharge and attend meetings we are not intimidated. The meetings offer a safe place to process any issues that we may be having. The BHTs are wonderful and caring. Most of the staff is in recovery which helps a lot for clients because they can empathize with their clients. The nursing staff are all friendly and caring. Rick is the best because he is fun and also plays the guitar with/for clients. Issues that I experienced during my time there are as follows: I felt that all of the administrative staff could be more friendly and involved with clients. There are several administrative staff that walk past clients without even acknowledging clients. Organized activities in the facility would be beneficial for clients as we learn to have fun and socialize without our drug of choice. The food is good but very heavy and high in calories. The desserts by Alice are awesome. Cody is the most friendly and amazing cook on staff! The facility could use some more cleaning. The group rooms often have food in and under the couches. There are several couches that are broken and need to be replaced. The bedrooms need to be deep cleaned because behind the dresser and side table there was dirt and a dirty tissue. The stairs are often dirty. The printer in the business center was broken for the 80 days I was there. Also, only one computer was working. The Sunday groups are too much for clients. Clients need a day of rest and the ability to do other necessities that are usually unable to be done on other days of the week. More positives: Ability to keep/use phones and computers which allow clients to be able to stay in contact with family and friends. It also allows clients to continue working outside of group times. There is an alumni group but I haven’t tried it yet. The aftercare planning is beneficial. Outside/off facility activities are fun and give clients exposure therapy. The housekeeping staff are all very kind. Most important for clients is to do the work and attend the extra meetings. It works if you work it. Engage in the groups, it will help. Be open and honest with your therapist, counselor, facilitators, and medical provider. They cannot help you in your recovery if you are not open, honest, and vulnerable. Advocate for yourself. There is always someone to talk to. Engage with other clients especially because addicts are often used to isolation and we are given the opportunity to make friends, attend extra meetings, have fun without needing our drug of choice, and find ourselves! Always remember: One Day At A Time!

I absolutely found my stay at Lincoln Recovery to be so helpful. I never felt better! All the staff from admissions to the cooks were great! The facilitators and counselors truly care about every client. The facility is clean and so comfortable. I met so many great people! You get to have your phone, participate on outings, see your family every Sunday, and even get your nails done. After leaving you will actually miss your daily life at Lincoln. I have learned so many coping skills to move forward with my life. When I first was confronted by my family that they thought I needed to go to Lincoln I did not think I wanted to. I am so thankful they talked me into going. I can’t think of anything better I could have done to get my life back on track. My counselor Sue was the most compassionate down to earth person I have ever met. A few of the facilitators even go out of their way to be sure you are on the right path. Thr BHT’s are all so kind and you can also tell they have compassion for every client. I would give Lincoln 10 out of 10 stars. Thank you Lincoln for changing my life!

Oh this place saved my life and they were respectful. Treated me with kindness like a human being. If they hadn't treated me with respect I would have walked out the door in 5 like I did ever other rehab. I have my life back after 18 years of addiction. These people are the real deal if I had gone there first I wouldn't have spent 18 years in addiction.

I had an overall good experience at Lincoln Recovery. The first 72 hours were frustrating because there was a serious lack of communication. I had no idea what was expected of me. Even after I asked questions I didn’t get clear answers. But after that everything was so much better. The staff is all really great (especially my therapist!) As long as you go to your classes they really don’t “bother” you. But they really do need to give you more time between knocking and coming in your room on the rare occasions they do… My only other issue was the food. Everyone has different feelings about it. And some people really like it. I’d highly recommend getting a mini fridge because you’re allowed to order things from WalMart twice a week, and they pick it up for you. You can also order from Amazon as often as you’d like. That’s my two cents. Thank you Lincoln staff! I feel confident I can continue to do what’s needed of me because of all the kindness and wisdom I received. Oh and the nursing staff is excellent too!
